For the first time I’ve played Dw as a player and not as a Gm!

For the first time I’ve played Dw as a player and not as a Gm!

Here’s my character and what happened to him, and some background story that was developed totally during the game as a consequence of question/answear and moves (Dw still surprise me after a long time about how you can start with zero and end with…a lot of stuff):

Name: The Will (Wizard)

Background:

since he was a kid he had this gift, he may foreseen the future. Unfortunately, people started to think that the boy was bad luck. Years later he left his village and joined a dubious sect. After a few months with the cultist, working hard as a laborer for them, they gave him the chance to test himself by taking on the trial to become a member of the sect and not just one of their followers.

By that time He was starting to think they were only a bunch of manipulator, exploiting other’s people life…

He was locked inside an underground tomb where he had to spend alone ten days in the dark with no food, facing what lies beneath.

After a dozen days in company of spirits and ghosts he emerged, surprisingly, with his sanity intact (almost, but determinated).

That’s when he started to call himself The Will.

Aware of the secrets and the knowledge learned from the dead […] he rised against the cultist, and stole some old tomes from them…

I picked spells of clairvoyance and both wizard and cleric’s spells related to the dead.

Not great at hurting people directly (that’s why I also fought quite often in melee. I’ve also used defend moves to protect the barbarian against some fellow goblins.

A few things I remember (it’s been a couple of months since we played, I’d guess):

…something threatening lies in the deep of the caverns, The Will scry his future on the blade of a sword…

…a man has some crucial informations, but is mortally wounded and can’t talk, so The Will touch his forehead and contacts him telepathically…

…he burns a sheet of paper and rub his face with the ash, then he contacts a spirit of darkness to know where is located the troll..

…draw on the ground the outline of a man and  “unseen servant” appears, the Will put his cloak on the servant and use it to lure the goblins ready to ambush…

…fight like a warrior with his walking stick against the goblins…

…grabbed by a troll that is going to crash him, he use telepathy to talk to the troll “I’m the god of the trolls, let go this human fool or you will face my hanger”…

…brings back to life a couple of goblins…but as a zombie. Not really alive….

Also, it’s the first time ever I play a wiz! (forget I’m going to read dozens of pages of spells like happens in an other well known game…I’m lazy when it comes of this kind of stuff, you know, cleaning the house, spells….)
