I don’t know if it’s cool to post feedback and ideas here…
Something I always felt was missing from the DW Playbooks were MC hooks. Naming NPCs and interests which would help the MC come up with things to tie the character to the setting.
Do people reckon this might be helpful in WoA?
This is definitely the place to post feedback. Here or the Discord channel.
We’re looking into priming each of the playbooks with a set of GM-Player questions about the characters and world. Similar to how MASKS playbooks do it, or in Stonetop. It should help produce hooks and engender good play – things I’m all for as a GM and designer.
I think the WoA bond system is a good place to start. At the beginning of a campaign, have them each make up an NPC bond and track/develop that character or faction!
