Some folks were asking to see how we use different colored move sheets – here’s us, playing out a big battle using the playtest mass combat rules, and you can see … different colored move sheets. This started as a happy accident but is actually a very helpful usability tip.
Also, DW nerds take note: I went completely bananas and none of what you are seeing makes any sense. But we do use different colored sheets and you should to!
What’s so bananas?
My custom unit cards, turning it into a miniatures thing basically. Plus the Corvus Corax soundtrack. I just don’t want people thinking my cool custom cards are part of your deal.
I am just curious what encounter uses the whipped cream. BTW, pretty cool stuff.
The unit cards are actually inspiring us! We might be in touch about stealing that idea.
Part of the battle thing is to report the battle to the players as their characters perceive it. I’ve usually done that with a lot of paper and a lot of sketches. Just putting down some note cards is a genius shortcut.
I’ve even considered making a few ‘standard’ armies and putting up cards for them to print on-demand from DTRPG. The cards are genius.
I believe I printed those move sheets on goldenrod paper intentionally for one of our one-shots. I was getting tired of chasing pieces of paper around the table in the heat of the action!
I have laminated color paper basic move sheets and spell list sheets to make the easier to spot
battleground cards with DW stats/moves on the back would be great for the mass combat unit cards.
When a problem comes along, roll+WHIPIT. On a 12+, WHIPIT GOOD.
Discern Realities is used a lot in our games. Rather than consult a large move sheet, I’ve printed the question out an attached to a colored index card. As noted, the color makes things easier to find.
So Jason, does this ruleset use other dice? Just noticing the d12s and d8s. Hmmmm. Colour me inglorious.
Wicked setup gents.
Nathan Roberts the rules don’t use d12s, those just got dumped out of my bag. d8s are damage dice per usual.
Oh I thought you may have had some interesting ideas for damage dice 🙂
Thanks Jason!
There are d12s in DW! If I recall, some monsters can end up with them.
I don’t think I’ve ever rolled one!
Solitary ancient creatures can get a d12 damage die.
The reason for this is actually slightly backwards: we wanted to include the d12 so that we could use it in the future, so we made sure there was a way to get to the mighty d12 in monster creation.
