  1. Mike Weem cheers! Yeah, I saw your post and it was useful to promote my idea of using Microscope to build a world history for Dungeon World. Here’s write up of the cards from the Microscope game: https://plus.google.com/115998734960985532561/posts/dvj6gdC8S3o

    We also drew a little map at the table when we introduced some of periods, events and scenes. I drew the central and south eastern portions of my map to reflect that Microscope map as well as some of the events. I followed very closely the world generation procedures in Torchbearer, so I obviously went beyond what we created in our Microscope game.

    I would’ve like to play a few more sessions of Microscope, fleshing out other foci, so the history was less focused on the Elves. But, we’re all to keen to play Dungeon World, and leave blanks etc. Also, we can always pick up the Microscope game again at later date and explore more.

    Yeah, I used Hexographer. It was pretty easy and fun to use. And my three-year-old son got involved naming some of the regions: the Bearhounds and the Sharshunk are his gems.
