Dear Dungeon World,
I thought I was writing Fronts and realised I had accidentally written a story.
Then I thought it was a story, but I now realise it’s a future published adventure!

I always have the same problem with fronts, and it feels like if you have a story then you’re no longer playing to find out what happens?
It should be a what-if story: what happens if the adventurers don’t intervene? Then you play to find out what happens if they do.
I am ready to throw out any or all of it during play, but I was just astonished how the tiny seeds from our first session blossomed in my head into something more interesting than I have written since high-school.
I mean, it’s still trope-heavy, but it’s full of characters and fantastic locations and the dangers are interesting, so I think people like me would enjoy it for either a campaign springboard or simply inspiration.
I want the players to defeat the dangers, but I really enjoyed writing them all the way to their dooms.
The funny thing is, Fronts definitely tell a story, but it usually ends with “And then the Dragon killed everyone and the world died because nobody did anything to stop it.”
