I’ve been tearing through my copy of Dungeon World lately looking for a specific passage.
I remember it in passing and it essentially said, “There are many mages and lesser practitioners of magic in the world, but you are THE Wizard.” (It may not have been the wizard exactly, but that’s how I recall it.)
Basically, I’m looking for where in the book that sentiment of being THE exceptional warrior or magic user or whatever is what sets the PCs apart from the NPCs. Does anyone know where this is located?
Thanks!
pg. 176, in the Getting Started section in the First Session chapter
Are there other wizards? Not really. There are other workers of arcane magic, and the common folk may call them wizards, but they’re not like you. They don’t have the same abilities, though they may be similar. Later on there may be another player character with the same class but no GM character will ever really be a wizard (or any other class).
Chris Whetstone Thank you so much! That was exactly what was I looking for.
In case it’s useful, the entire text of the book is available in softcopy on Github:
https://github.com/Sagelt/Dungeon-World
It is searchable (the box near the top of the page that says search this repository). It took me a lot of tries to find the passage that way, though 🙂
That’s a great tool, thanks for the tip Stephan Terre!
