There was a run of excellent “Discern-Realities based starters” posted to the Tavern a while back… the players dice for the initial situation they find themselves in, allocating a die to a table of answers under each of the Discern Realities questions, and the remaining dice determine their initial disposition. Then, off you go.

Also, some Dungeon World starters which don’t involve the dice-rolling:

A collection of more starters can be found here: http://a-dungeon-world.wikia.com/wiki/Dungeon_Starters
Finally, there’s the classic “Indigo Galleon” adventure, which doesn’t require as much improv at the table, since it poses a reasonably complete situation: http://john.aegard.com/indigo-galleon.pdf
How did it go, sorry to have missed WorldCon as it’s here in my home town
It went pretty well. I ended up running the Indigo Galleon adventure. Much of the time was spent in explaining custard creation, but people enjoyed the combat with the ghouls.
Also, thank you everyone for all your suggestions! I’m going to use them in the future!
