Has anyone played with the Witch playbook in a game of dungeon world? Did it mesh well with everyone else? What about the general strength of it compared to the other playbooks in use?

This would be the perfect question to ask Jacob Randolph!
I have only had one player playing as a Witch in my own games, alongside a Survivor and a Captain, and she seems to be fine. She isn’t stealing the spotlight more than anyone else. She’s pretty strong, yes, but I don’t think it is any moreso than anyone else.
Really though, as the creator of the class, I am kind of biased here. I’d love to hear other people’s experiences with the class. I have not heard any complaints yet, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any, just that I haven’t heard them.
On the PbP site I run, we have a new game starting (mostly players from this community actually), and one player is going with The Witch — so … they’re still in pre-first session discussion, but I’ll definitely let you know how it goes (I’m not playing in the game, but I’m definitely keeping tabs!).
That was my thinking Jacob Randolph, every creator is a little biased. Cause I’d really like to play in a future game using the Witch (It’s actually my favorite playbook even though I haven’t had a chance to play it) and I don’t want to outshine anyone.
Maybe I’ll just have to jump into a game here soon using the Witch and make a write up of my thoughts about it.
Ask again in a month, when I’ll have run a few sessions with witches 🙂
