After deciding to use the Perilous Wilds after all, my players and I had our first full session of play yesterday. It went well! Their was an encounter with bandits on the road through the jungle – which ended with a surprising decapitation – and a fight with some magical dragonflies, which resulted in finding their valuable – and magical – eggs. Lots of hooks for future sessions came up, which is good.
In terms of the actual experience of play, it was good. Our Ranger was a bit peeved that his snake ended up getting shot a couple times, but in fairness, he failed a ton of roles. I could probably stand to be a bit more consistent with my moves though. We’re also playing online, so making sure that people were paying attention and weren’t talking over each other was a bit tough. Otherwise, it was great! Looking forward to our next session!
Excellent!
Ilove Perilous Wilds! Are you using straight DW or Freebooters?
Just regular Dungeon World. Freebooters doesn’t really fit what we’re going for.
