Hey guys, happy new year to everyone!
After going through the (wonderful!) Class Warfare by Johnstone Metzger, I’m ready to start 2K15 with a new DW campaign but I would love to replace Alignment & Races with Drives & Backgrounds.
Where can I find existing lists of both?
I bought the Italian edition of Inverse World, but I could only find a list of Drives, in it.
Thank you in advance!
I don’t know where to find either. That said, backgrounds tend to fall into the same category as races in that they’re usually targeted towards class peculiarities rather than being more general, usually in a good way.
You could probably get a lot of mileage out of simply renaming what’s already there. That goes for alignments/drives, too.
Alternatives to race options are so far just a thing that individual playbooks do, although Pirate World has something a bit more complicated. There’s a g+ community for it but the book’s not finished yet.
In Inverse World there are the tools to create new Drives… as for backgrounds… they are moves, equivalent to racial ones, and you have to write them with the usual rules.
Let me know if you need help 😉
In Grim World there is the option of picking any race and it’s corresponding racial move but they are not tailored to classes. In other words ALL dwarves get the same move regardless of class, they just get the dwarven racial move brcause they are dwarves.
That being said I don’t like that as much as I do the class specific choices that the DW book uses.
My suggestions is to just make a racial move up for the class/race combo you want on the fly with your GM or other players.
Thanks guys, and Ezio Melega, consider yourself enrolled!
(will pay a visit to the club soon)
You have my number, and I’m always glad to chat with you ^^
(and my old offer for a campaign still is on the table… even an “experimental” one ^^)
You can find some inspiration for “racial” type moves over here:

They are of course specific but can be quite some inspiration I hope.
