Campaign Starter: Sailing the Sapphire Isles: https://plus.google.com/+JeremyStrandberg/posts/Tseo6invVGk
by Jeremy Strandberg: https://plus.google.com/+JeremyStrandberg
This is a campaign starter by Jeremy Strandberg with a nautical theme. It uses a cool generator system where you roll one d6 for each Discern Realities questions and consult a list for each one to create the fiction. There’s also rules for creating your ship and some GM tools.

by minneyar: https://www.reddit.com/user/minneyar
In this post reddit user minneyar discusses some shortcomings of the experience system in Dungeon World and gives some potential changes you can make in your games. It’s a well thought out post and it makes good use of bold text (I have a soft spot for good bold text).

Mana Based Wizard Replacement: https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonWorld/comments/6wg33y/critique_my_wizard_replacement/
by yochaigal: https://www.reddit.com/user/yochaigal
This version of the Wizard uses a mana system similar to Volley’s ammo system. If you roll a 7-9 one of your options is to lose the spell’s mana cost. There are other moves that build off mana system. Yochaigal, the author, goes over a lot of his thought process in the reddit thread.

In this episode, I am joined by Joe Banner. We talk about the plethora of published works and his creative process. We also discuss motivations for independent publishing, ‘a hobby that pays its way’, and bi-directional skills between professions and games.
In the second half, Joe and I discuss Cognitive Dissonance. We talk about what it means to a story, how to implement it into role playing games, and the philosophy of healthy mental manipulation of players.
