To start I’m opening on a setting similar to the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. They are guests at a wedding for 2 beneficial figures until the host strikes and aims to kill everyone, prompting the party to escape.

The problem I’m having so far is finding a good map for it to take place at. Has anyone got any good maps of castle keeps or courtyards or forts, etc, that I can use to begin?

I’m a traditional DM and I’m going to do my first Dungeon World game this weekend, I read most of the articles but obviously I’m still on the fence in how to pace combat scenes.

Does anyone know an AP or podcast episode with a really well done combat sequence for me to listen? Thanks!

I am starting a new Forgotten Realms inspired Dungeon World game tonight. As it is FR inspired we have the option to play different races. I am making a half-orc paladin. My DM is letting me make up a racial as there aren’t any. I am new to this system, so looking for help.

Suggestions?

Hey there!

Hey there! I have a question for you about the fights and the thief skill “underdog”. How do you handle bottlenecks? I consider it a 1v1 bottleneck fight to be a fair fight, no matter how many skaven line up. If they can not hit you from behind, you are in the minority but it’s not really a fight against many opponents simultaneously. Do you agree? If Adam Koebel could chip in, I would be super grateful.

Is anyone planning to run a play-by-post DW campaign and looking for new players? I’d love to take a crack at PBP!

“The Witch and Her Consort” – Planets Collide, Session 28

“The Witch and Her Consort” – Planets Collide, Session 28

4 weeks ago, we picked up our ongoing Dungeon World campaign again after a few months on hiatus. Since one of the players moved out of the region, the game has moved online, using Roll20 for sheets and handouts, and Discord for video chat.

2 weeks ago was Session 28, and we’re gearing up for a riotous and/or catastrophic Session 29 on Saturday. The TLDR version is this:

– The home team had a talk with a dragon that was involved in the failed ritual to keep 2 planets from colliding—the kind of talk that ended in one of those “Enough talk—HAVE AT YOU!” moments.

– The away team caught up with a witch that they bargained with before, and subsequently quested to destroy. It was the most terrifying encounter of the campaign so far. The Ranger was gobbled up by the witch, who escaped before the Paladin could get at her. The Paladin’s new Quest is to rescue his comrade.

Let me know if you have questions about how the moves and other game mechanics interacted to produce any particular outcome.

Our Bard, a woodsman with a loving family and good village life (in a village being stalked by a werewolf) was slain in a confrontation with the aforementioned werewolf.

As the battle continues, and the rest of the party drive the wolf off (But fail, once again, to kill it), the Bard stands on a dark shore, with a black marble table, and two matching chairs. in one sits a dark-robed figure, with no face visible. “PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT”. the figure says. “YOU HAVE A GOOD LIFE. A LOVING FAMILY, AND WELL-RAISED CHILDREN”. The figure says, reaching into it’s robe, and taking out a deck of Tarot cards “IT IS RARE TO SEE ONE LIKE YOU ARRIVED SO YOUNG” He takes three cards from the deck. he turns over The Wheel of Fortune “A GOOD LIFE, AND LIVING.” he turns over The Emperor “WELL DISPOSED AND DILIGENT CHILDREN” and he turns over The Lovers “THE LOVE OF YOUR FAMILY. YOU MAY STRIDE THROUGH MY GATES, HEAD HELD HIGH, OR”

he turns the cards over, and shuffles them “YOU MAY CHOOSE ONE CARD, AND KNOW THAT PART OF YOUR LIFE WILL FOREVER FALL TO RUIN. YOUR FAMILY WILL DRIFT APART AND ABANDON YOU, OR YOUR FORTUNES WILL SOUR, AND LEAVE YOU IN PERPETUAL POVERTY. OR ELSE YOU WILL WATCH YOUR CHILDREN BECOME LAYABOUTS, OR PETTY THIEVES, OR PRODIGALS.”

Meanwhile, the party has driven the werewolf away, and the ranger falls to her knees, shouting to the goddess Frigga to save him, bring him back, “he’s my only family goddammit” (she is the bards half-great great aunt). her player has taken “god amidst the wastes”, and is petitioning her deity, so I tell the bards player to pick one of the cards, and take it out of the stack, and reshuffle.

While the Bard sweats over whether to take the card, or walk through the gates, the Wizard realizes… he is standing next to a portal to the feyrealm, says “ritual to bring him back, while he still hasn’t passed through the gates?” and I give him “well, you’ll piss off the fey beyond the portal, and you’ll annoy death” . He accepts.

On the shores of the black gates, I ask the Bards player “When you get pulled back, are you reaching for a card, or standing up from the table?” and he says that, when the threads of silver light wrap around him, he was reaching for the top card. “I’LL LEAVE THE TABLE SET” death says as the bard is drawn back from the black gates
