This is my first time making up a monster for Dungeon World, and I’m pretty sure it’s a sign that I hate my players. The party is heading deep into an ancient Dwarven Kingdom to find one of the cracks in the walls of Death’s kingdom (Death in our game being mostly a neutral force who’s not terrible fond of souls getting out as undead).
I’ve run three sessions so far; their Cleric has made a last breath roll in two of them, and I just flat killed the druid when the party got ambushed by a bulette. And looking at what the mountain king has going for him, I think I’m going to see a complete party wipe when they get into combat with the ancient king.
Pretty cool. Very Harsh. 🙂
That’s gonna hurt. A lot. 🙂
Though I would like to see move Moves for this guy. As powerful as he is (great backstory by the way), I feel only one is a bit light.
I agree, even if all he does is send troll’s after dairy maids.
I would totally have this monstrosity wandering the halls of the collapsed dwarves hall in Hammer Of The Gods from LotFP. I shudder to think…
Yeah, he does need a few more moves (just added four), I just saw the initial stats (I ratcheted him down from a 27 hp and 7 armor) and worried that I was going to render my party into small tenderized bits, no matter how hard or soft I ran this guy.
Because I intend him to be a 16hp dragon.
