Question: How do you guys play it when the players want to ‘stun’ or ‘incapacitate’ an enemy. My group wanted to knock out a Snogre (a blueish ice ogre I made up) without killing it. I had them basically use the hack and slash move but fiction it out to knock it out when HP reached zero for the monster. Are there better ways to do it?

Hi, I’ve been lurking around a bit, but just wanted to share – I started GMing a Dungeon World game with a bunch of people with almost no experience with roleplaying games (and that includes me). And it was great! We started off in a prison-Zeppelin going to the new high-security private prison run by the Gnomes (they had all told me the crimes they had committed). The Zeppelin soon went down, but my favourite move was the Cleric who worshiped a spore-god sacrificed the captain of the ship to get a boon in the form of a giant Portabello mushroom to land softly on. They all smelled like mushroom after that!
