Very excited about DW.

1. Hi Mike! What approach are you taking to your first adventure? Basing it on an Adventure Starter, something you’ve written in advance, an old D&D module, or going to be putting it together on the fly based on your players?

2. It will be pretty loose i think, which is how I tend to run things anyway. My last campaign began with a barely sketched map, and very few details, etc. 

3. I imagine I will – I’ve not been this excited about a new RPG in some time. I’ve sold 5 other DM’s and a number of potential players on it already, hehe

4. I have 5 people very new to table top rpg’s that I will be running this for and I really enjoy running games for newcomers 😉

5. Definitely excited for this as well!

6. Suggestion, for their sake: Put the list of Basic Moves and special moves on a card for each of them (don’t even worry about the description, just use it as a cue). Remind them that unlike in board games they can do pretty much whatever common sense allows for, but it’s these things that will directly engage the mechanics.

7. It’s a pretty easy game to teach, both to new gamers and to players who are used to more traditional RPGs.

8. Shawn McCarthy the first 2 pages in the character sheets PDF are basic moves.

9. They are, yes, but it’s paper to shuffle

10. Shawn McCarthy Love the idea of cards – probably because I have a ton of them (3×5). That said, I have a large whiteboard by my gaming table i was thinking i could put some of this info on, etc – thanks again for the suggestion!

11. Glad you’re excited! I’m not the hugest fan of move cards, because they can feel a little restrictive. I don’t know why this is, maybe it’s because the player can pick up a card and hold on to it, but people get more set on their move than what their character is doing. That said, for some groups it really rocks!
