Hi, I’ve been lurking around a bit, but just wanted to share – I started GMing a Dungeon World game with a bunch of people with almost no experience with roleplaying games (and that includes me). And it was great! We started off in a prison-Zeppelin going to the new high-security private prison run by the Gnomes (they had all told me the crimes they had committed). The Zeppelin soon went down, but my favourite move was the Cleric who worshiped a spore-god sacrificed the captain of the ship to get a boon in the form of a giant Portabello mushroom to land softly on. They all smelled like mushroom after that!

Just out of curiosity; what crimes did they actually commit? Also, I take it that this is a pretty standard murderhobo party, with the human sacrifices and so on? xD
Sounds like ConAir.
Haha, Gnome-sacrifices actually! It’s a pretty big party but the Ranger had his trained pigeon lift the queens dress, the Mage had set the kings drapes on fire, the Barbarian had put purple dye in the ritual drink during his brothers coming of age ritual which stained his brothers mustache (my favourite) and the Cleric had infected the head priests with spores of his god. I can’t remember right now what the Druid had done. They’re now interested in a big dam near where they crashed and also looking for ditzy Sylvia’s labradoodle (a type of dog) Snooglepoops.
Hah! GnomAir! Damn, now I need to get a Nicholas Cage type character involved somehow and get them to set up some kind of death trap
And I’ll bet at no point during all of these shenanigans was an initiative roll made. As someone with a lot of RPG experience, I feel free. Not trying to sound like some awful cult convert, but I do love me some Dungeon World for all it can do with relatively little and how it never seems to say, “you can’t do that in this game.” Hell, it even invites you to hack it – that’s just crazy pants!
