To anyone interested in 2-player games, quick games, and/or Funnel World: Amy Stringer and I played a 2-hour game last night together using 3 randomly-rolled villagers and it worked really well.
If we did it again, I’d suggest rolling 5-6 villagers as she didn’t last too long with 3 (we rolled a 4th after the first one died.) But the system of making villagers was really effective, and controlling multiple characters really wasn’t difficult.
From a GM’s perspective you don’t have to do anything much more than you’d do in a regular game – just be sure the players is prepared for a lot of grisly deaths!
Sounds like a fun night!
Heh, well it was a fun two hours – but that’s part of the appeal. It felt like we fit a great game of Dungeon World in and still had time to watch the Apprentice afterwards!
