My Dungeon World Study Guide e-books are ready for proofreading and testing with various e-readers. The books look great in the fantastic Mantano Reader for Android and look good on the Kindle as well. However some other e-book readers gave less spectacular results. I use some pretty advanced CSS to ensure they look good and are easy to read and use.
The two books are:
Dungeon World Play Examples – A Study Guide
A Dungeon World study guide to help GMs master how to run Dungeon World. I have collected all the GM rules for running the game, along with all the moves and play examples from the rules and Guide, some of the extra material and edits from Truncheon World, and a newly cleaned up, by Stras himself, ’16 HP Dragon’. This worked as a perfect study guide for myself in preparation for my first few sessions.
Dungeon World Fronts – A Study Guide
A Dungeon World study guide to help GMs master how to create Dungeon World fronts. It uses the same sources as the above book, but concentrates only on the rules governing Fronts and how to create and use them in play. Compiling this book really helped me nail down how to use Fronts in play, and my game’s singing since!
Would some of you kind people be willing to volunteer and test the epub and/or mobi versions of these two Dungeon World Study Guides?
P.S. I have the blessings of Johnstone Metzger, Adam Koebel, Sage LaTorra, Eon Fontes-May, Sean Dunstan, and Stras Acimovic to use their material from the Dungeon World rules, Truncheon World, the Guide, and ’16 HP Dragon’ in these e-books.
I would be happy to test the mobi version on my PaperWhite. You can email it to sycarion@kindle.com
It’s funny you posted this when you did; literally about a minute ago I was just about to contact you because I realized I’d forgotten to get back to you about the Guide. Sorry about that!
I’m really looking forward to seeing this!
I’d be happy to.
Sure, have a tablet with a few readers on it, I can look at them at home after work. Is there a PDF or image, that the reader programs can’t mess with the formatting, out too or are you just looking at general bugs?
I can test the epub version.
I’d be happy to test it. I have kobo, an epub app for the ipod touch.
I’d love to test them. I have capacity for any of those files across a couple of different ebook readers.
I have a nexus 7 and a Nook, and will be running my first DW session soon. I would love to test these.
I can test with both an iPad Mini and a Nook HD+.
I can test epub with Kobo and Nook plus their respective android apps. I have too many ereaders
I have a Kindle and a Nook and two Android phones (both Samsung but different models) and would be glad to take a look.
(Curious, are there any plans for a player-aimed version, since these both seem to be DM-focused?)
I have a Kindle 3 and PW. Also use the Kindle app on my Galaxy s3 and Nexus 7. I would LOVE to test it out since I start a DW campaign next week. zzahringer_84@kindle.com is my kindle addy if you are mailing these out.
I have the Kobo Aura and Kobo Glo, so I can test the epub.
Alexander Davis, I make guides for myself all the time, and given that my photo phobia (light sensitivity) keeps getting worse, I find that ebooks are by far the easiest way for me to read.
My next guide for Dungeon World is one covering all the Class Moves, so I can have them at my fingertips during play, and study them in preparation for play.
My thinking goes that players don’t really need study guides for Apocalypse Engine games. Sadly I also know that my lazy crew of gamers wouldn’t read them. 🙂
I’d like to see these, give them a try with my iPad Air.
I´d love to test it on my old iPad.
Thanks to all the volunteers. I will now add you to a circle and share the ebooks with you in a private post.
Peter Johansen, the Study Guides are explained in my original post. I have simply combined the rules and the Guide, along with sources such as Truncheon World (for its marvelous edits of the original rules) and ’16 HP Dragon’, in order to have all the Play Examples, and Fronts information, respectively, collected in an easy to read and access ebook.
Arp Laszlo, I would recommend that you first read the rules in their entirety a couple of times, but then the Study Guides are precisely meant for people like yourself. Don’t worry though, I will release these for free for everyone to enjoy.
I’d absolutely love to, can test on two editions of Kindle (non-paperwhite) an iPad and Nexus 7.
I’m in.
