Looks like I’ll be GM:ing my first *world session ever this weekend! Yay!
Are there any good resources for newbies like me out there? I’m thinking about any kind of repository with tips and tricks, specific to Dungeon World or for the *world playstyle in general.
Also, do you have any favorite fallback questions for a first session – if your inspiration fails you mid-game I mean? Just to get the ball rolling, if it needs a little push. 🙂
Any advice – or links to advice, if you are tired of this type of question – is more than welcome!
Woo Hoo! Have a blast!
Read Eon’s Player’s guide. Grab a copy of Class Warfare for inspiration and hooks to ‘grab’ the players.
Drazhu has been time and tested as a great first scenario.
Marshall’s Dungeon Starters are Gold
Michael Prescott’s One page Dungeons are wonderful
Joe Banner’s adventure outlines are inspiring
Johnstone Metzger’s view on DW is a constant source of inspiration.
Start in media res.
Read the Dungeon World guide

Tim Franzke ‘s essay on how to be a fan of the characters is excellent. Just sayin’.
If you think this’ll be a one-shot, read John Aegard’s guide:
