A character in my Dungeon World game received a shield that was once owned by Pencast, a great warrior of the Kenedhel, the forest witch people. It’s a wooden shield with the abstract image of the face of a forest bison on it.
What are its properties beyond those of a normal shield, do you think? There is no wrong answer.

It seems like there is no “Priest” equivalent in the Follower list, and no mention of how a follower might help with healing. Is this intentional?
Awesome book!

How do you reflect in the language of Adventure Fronts a situation where the main reason the adventurers are doing stuff is “because it is there”?
Here is a specific example to illustrate the point. “The Sky Chain” dungeon starter from Fine Mess Games (available on the link). A primary reason adventurers might choose to climb the Sky Chain is simply because it is there. The starter indicates this is a motivation; there are several precious commodities listed only found up the chain, and the flag planting move shows there is competition for who can climb the highest.
However, this doesn’t fit well with concept of a Front. There are not really any grim portents or impeding dooms, per se, at least not as initial motivation; they could appear later. There will be dangers on the way up, of course, but it is not necessarily so that they will be capital “D” Dangers.
Maybe the rules are suggesting that adventure “because it’s there” is not what Dungeon World is all about, and that’s fine with me. Also, I know I can run things without an explicit Front. I’m just wondering if other people have noticed this, if they have done something differently to account for it, and any general thoughts people might have about it.

If anyone will be within travel distance of Hamilton Ontario on the weekend of July 18-20, I will be running some Dungeon World games at Con-Bravo: http://conbravo.com/
They are:
The Frozen South – using Marshall Miller’s excellent Dungeon Starter available here: http://www.finemessgames.com/DWsupplements/dungeonstarters
The Third Verse – using the awesome adventure from Red Box Vancouver (although it is too big to get through all of it in 4 hours) available here: http://redboxvancouver.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/rk3-the-third-verse/
The event list isn’t up yet, but I believe it will be soon. I may not be the only person running Dungeon World games that weekend. Love to see you there!
Marshall Miller and Johnstone Metzger for their info and to thank them for such awesome work.
