So about two weeks ago, in game time, my party was at a city called Whitestone, where the town guard asked them to help scout on a group of brigands causing trouble in the area. The party rejected the job since they had a dangerous McGaffin they wanted to return to its rightful owners.

Fast forward to the present, the “brigands front” have advanced, and Whitestone has fallen! The party got a message telling them to meet what remains of the city guard in another town.

In today session we got to the town, met the survives and learned what happens to the city (apparently the brigands worship some dark and crazy new god!). Next session there going to be the assault on Whitestone, in hopes of taking the city back and stopping the brigands from sacrificing a lot of people.

What I want to do is give each party member an opportunity to influence this assault. We have a Paladin – with a Quest to find the brigands leader and defeat their dark god(ess); Shaman (Grim World); Druid; Cleric; and a Bard.

The druid already suggested using Eyes of the Tiger to spy on the enemy in the city.

Thoughts?

Heya folks!

One of my players play the Shaman from Grim World, and the last session he acquired a “spirit of growth and decay” after the party fought a corrupted version of the spirit.

I’m looking for ideas for the effect the spirit’s release from their totem will have. I imagine it should play on the dual nature of the spirit, life and death, having something grow and flourish or become decaying and dying.

Thoughts?

Idea for fame and infamy setting rules for a new campaign.

Every XP the players mark during the End of Session move will count toward, or against, factions involved in the session.

Those relationship will level up the same way characters do, i.e. 7+level XP for the next level, in either fame or infamy for that faction.

Each level beyond the first, the group/setting gets a costume move related to that faction and the party’s relationship with it. Fame will usually let the party call it some favors, while infamy gets invoked at unfavorable times.

Alternatively,  the party may only get the faction moves if they create a bond with it, which plays and resolves as normal.

Thoughts?

I had an idea for a onshot/con game I’d like to share.

The players get a specialized playbook which are not classes but legendary magical weapons. I’d take moves from many different classes to construct each weapon by a theme, e.g. the Blood Sword will have fighter moves, a holy sword with cleric and paladin moves, and so on.

Each time a players mark xp, he get to choose a new move right away at the table, symboling his character getting more power from the weapon.

I’d also replace alignment with drive moves are let them mark xp for them during play. Those drives will be the weapon’s, not the player.

What’d you think?

Any ideas to run Dungeon Worlds with 2 GMs?

There is a Con coming  up and I have a table for 10 people; but we don’t think 2 groups can play on the same table, so are looking for alternative formats.
