I’ve been planning a West Marches style campaign and didn’t want to use Bonds because of changing group composition. I looked at Flags but they weren’t quite what I wanted either. So as one does, I wrote yet another alternative to Bonds. This is strongly influenced by the Experiences system in Vincent Baker’s games Amazons and Freebooting Venus. Those are more of a replacement for XP though. This system (I call it Chronicles) tries to leverage the Experiences idea to create some mechanical framework around character backgrounds. The Chronicles are supposed to preserve the collaborative world building aspects of Bonds and the mechanics of +BOND modifiers.

None of this has been playtested in the slightest. Would love to hear feedback though. If nothing else, there’s a d100 table of experiences/ back stories that someone might be able to take some inspiration from.

Thanks for taking a look.

Need some help with a custom move for my “Kid” compendium class.

Need some help with a custom move for my “Kid” compendium class. The theme I’m trying to capture is that you’re a kid so people tend to ignore you—because you’re small, or quiet, or even sneaky. I ended up with this which feels like just a generic stealth move and I don’t think it’s right yet:

When you act quietly and inconspicuously say what you’re trying to do and roll+DEX. Take -1 for each thing you’re attempting beyond the first. On a 10+ you do it and you’re unnoticed. On a 7-9 you do it but you’re noticed. On a miss it’s obvious what you were trying to do.

• you get into something

• you get out of something

• you take something from someone

• you put something somewhere

• you get somewhere you’re not supposed to be

• you get out of somewhere you don’t want to be

Any suggestions for capturing the flavor without making it a swiss army knife?

This is my first attempt at hacking DW—a compendium class for a child character.

This is my first attempt at hacking DW—a compendium class for a child character. Feeling out some ideas for a campaign I’m thinking of starting. I’d love to hear feedback and critique, especially on the “Copycat” move. I think “Whiny Brat” probably needs another option and maybe there should be one more move overall.

Some of the moves are based on the Apocalypse World playbooks “The Feral Kid” by Mike Sands, “The Kid” by Unknown.

Thanks
