Thanks to Kasper Brohus for running a fun hangout game, which ended in a knockdown, drag-out fistfight between our Paladin and the Crocodile Chieftain. I had fun being the Bard, dancing around the fight, avoiding the Cheif’s minions who were annoyed by my singing and giving the Paladin all sorts of help! I didn’t roll Hack & Slash or Volley the whole session!

Bunch of ghouls coming at the party. Cleric rolls 7-9 on Turn Undead.

Aggression breaks the turn. Wizard blasts Ghoul A. Turn effect is broken on Ghoul A, what about on the other ghouls? Are they still turned?

I played Monster of the Week last weekend.

I played Monster of the Week last weekend. It has a “Manipulate Someone” move similar to DW’s Parley move. However, in addition to the rules for NPCs, it has rules for manipulating PCs:

For another hunter:

• On a 10+ they mark experience and get +1 forward if they do

what you ask.

• On a 7-9, they mark experience if they do what you ask.

• On  a  miss,  it’s  up  to  that hunter  to  decide  how  badly  you

offend or annoy them. They mark experience if they do not do

what you asked.

I found this rule to be a lot of fun, and wondered a) why isn’t it in DW? is it because there’s already a lot of XP given out for misses? or because this takes the focus away from smashing the doors and storming the dungeon? and b) could this be incorporated?

Spike the Druid blew away a flock of Nightwings (who nearly killed the whole party three sessions ago) with a tornado.

Zok the Orc Fighter calmed down a crowd of angry dwarves by haggling over a kilt.

The party was blessed by the Great Gator for saving the swamp from corruption with tails and scales of their very own!

Oerik the Dwarven Cleric fought off a home invasion by Dwarven supremacists single handedly (Hold Person is a powerful spell) while the rest of the party was wasted at the local tavern (Carouse roll). Unfortunately, his zombie was killed in the process.

Epic showdown saw the Paladin Augustine and his new friends facing down 5 members of his old order, which he deserted. I used the Knight from the DW book for these guys, and they were pretty damn tough. During the fight, Spike caught herself and the whole field they were fighting in on fire and then called down the rains to put out the fire…flooding the whole village in the process (this hasn’t been dealt with yet.)

Facing five of the Knights was really tough (4 armor and b[2d10] damage, and I thought for a moment that this might be a TPK (especially when the Ranger used Blot out the Sun on all the Knights and whiffed completely), but the Cleric’s Hold Person and some nice high damage rolls by the Fighter and Paladin saved the day.

Zok the Orcish Fighter ripped the head off of a Werecrocodile with a Bend Bars/Lift Gates roll today.

The Ranger in the game I’m DMing has a little ankle biter dog, who mainly distracts enemies and latches onto their, well, ankles. The Cleric threw it at a flying enemy one time.

On a PbB game I’m playing (Number Appearing) our Gnoll Ranger has a baby dire hyena that’s pretty untrained.
