I made a tumblr about Dungeon World—specifically, about the goofy exploits of the kids for whom I GM (such as the Barb of the Black Gate story I posted to this community a week or so ago). Follow it for more weird stories about eight-year-olds learning to be necromancers.

I imagine this providing me a great deal of smiles and more than a few chuckles. Thanks for sharing, and thanks to the kids for allowing it to be shared!
(Side note: iOS apparently thinks I’m writing about logic gates, because it corrected “and” to “NAND” a moment ago. C’est la iPad I guess!)
Pure Gold James. Can you tell us how you started out? Did you just start with the base classes and then ‘spread out’?
Also, did you world build during chargen, or have some sort of ‘in media res’ first scene?
Do you work on fronts between sessions?
Love it!
This is the best.
I’m interested in how this club came to be. Are you faculty or staff there? Or did you just call up the school?
I ask because I would love to do something like this locally.
I’m also very interested in learning more about this club. Thank you chronicling this. I’m enjoying what I’ve read so far. Keep them coming!
Your narrative is priceless!

Thanks for your enthusiasm, everyone! Please keep telling your friends about this =)
How this started: I work at a FLGS which does after-school programs for kids; I am the RPG coordinator there and so I run ongoing games most days of the week. I started with the base classes and materials, but I’ve added to them as the kids have requested or the fiction has demanded: for example, a vampire killed one of the girls and she rolled a 7-9 on Last Breath, with Death’s offer being that she returned to life as a vampire, so I wrote a Vampire compendium class. Another kid retired his character and requested a necromancer class, so I wrote one.
Generally I do world-building during character generation, building on the kids’ bonds, the druid’s terrain, and other such details. I work on fronts a little bit between sessions.
