Can anyone recommend a good podcast or YouTube video to show a good example of the right way to play Dungeon World? I’ve only played twice and one time was GMing and I really don’t think I have my mind wrapped around it just right. I really want to play more since it is a rather fun game and a completely different approach (for me anyhow) to playing a RPG.
And please let’s not dive into a “certain point of view” Obi-Wan type crap about “the right way to play” please.
Thanks everyone!
Joe Banner has links to videos of him running his own adventures on his website.
Also this is a very good series:

Also, this might be useful: http://dungeon-world.com/downloads/#guide
My suggestion is this playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-oTJHKXHicRNYOc9unj3D1GMzjz_i6V2
RollPlay R&D’s DW sessions are decent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooa-apRt2wk&list=PL-oTJHKXHicRNYOc9unj3D1GMzjz_i6V2
Miles Sterrett Great minds think alike. XD
Victoria Harlette HA! I now realize Eric Lochstampfor linked the same thing. I guess this is good for RollPlay, huh?
By all means watch videos. I’d support Eric Lochstampfor and Sean Dunstan ‘s recommendations whole-heartedly.
But my advice: play more Dungeon World.
I have been able to play to my heart’s content by forming and joining online groups. I have played for a number of GM’s, and GM’d for even more players.
Each time i play, i pay attention to what i see; what works, what doesn’t. I solicit feedback, and i seriously consider criticism without reacting defensively. I have become a better GM (and character player) from being polite to people, considering the sessions seriously while still playing for enjoyment, and simply playing A LOT of DW.
Good luck in the Dungeons!
There’s also Mis Click’s DW sessions, one of which one of the game’s creators runs:

I say Andrew Fish needs to record one of his sessions. I have not even had a so-so session involving DW with him.
Rollplay and Miss clik both have good vids.
Michael Kennedy – not even “so-so”? I’m trying man, i’ll make at least to “so-so” in the coming… years.
Awesome! Thanks for all the input everyone!
I like missclicks personally, but it all depends on the group who’s playing in general 🙂
I would also say read the book…a lot. The GM stuff specifically. I was like I know how to GM i don’t need to read this. But really it teaches you GMing right, its also a bit confusing so you have to re-read sections. Videos of people playing won’t show you what moves the GM are making and when they are making those moves kind of.
Shameless self promotion. My group posts our games in 1hr podcast format at http://rastlinie.podbean.com/ A link on the right can sort episodes by game system.
james day has a good point about the GM stuff. If you’re down for some active listening, keep a little notepad with you when you’re watching/listening to others’ games, and make a note every time you recognize a GM move. It should be good practice for identifying how GM moves are just ways to codify the stuff GMs tend to do anyway, and it might just remind you to use some of the rarer moves yourself.
