Ran my first session of Dungeon World last week and decided to start a blog so I could have a place to talk about it.

Askelion the Wizard, Thellion the Warrior and Gorm the Undefeatable went to Gorms homeland to check out some rumors, that the Simin Combine was holding a young dragon captive.
Their trading post was overrun by Lizardmen though, the ancestral enemy of Gorms tribe (The Horned Skulls). They saw the post burning and the Lizardmen even brought a batlle station, mounted on a dinosaur!
So in short their was a big fight (including also an Owlbear and a Rat Ogre). It took us about two hours and included an Owlbear pouncing the Wizard and pinning him to the ground to take a bite, dinosaur riding, wall jumping, hideous murder and so on. But everyone fell before their combined might. Actually it was mostly fireballs. Seriously guys. Fireball!
Why not simply Nuke everything with fireball? It’s the solution for 2014! Fireballs. You burn people with it.
Fireballs. Yo.
…
I apologize

So after some looting (including 600 gold, a valuable pearl and a dragonbreath stone) Ashkelion took his time to Speak with the Dead! Because there where a lot of corpses his first casting wasn’t enough so he went on to the next Lizardmen. At this point the player was really happy to finally have rolled a fail for once (XP hungry he is).
So i brought out the big guns.
A jetblack whip, made out of shadows and starlight came out of the ground and reached for a shadow-summoning bowl that the Wizard had. He managed to hold on to it but the content flew out and poor Ashkelion found himself face to face with 7 Shadows (the monster) of dead Lizardmen.
Meanwhile the Chief of the Lizardmen is still inside the main complex, apparently with someone who hired them to get the dragon.
We ended the session there. Poor Ashkelion now has enough XP to level up to 4 BUT he has to survive 7 pissed of shadows.
And i have to decide how shadows work metaphysically.

We started our first DW campaign last Sunday. For those who are interested I wrote a small summary of the events.

No pictures, but a fun sesstion last night.

We (the chracters) are searching for artifacts. Those artifacts are identifying by runes in the Giant’s Language. To search for these artifacts, we find ourselves in a place of endless doors. Usually, a session begins with opening a door. We get our bearings, encounter something to talk to and generally attempt to figure out what we can gain.
This time, we find ourselves in the hold of a ship. There’s lots of creaking and shouting from the deck above. So far, so good, right?
I do not remember the exact sequence of events, but simply attempting to gather our bearings and discern where we were this time generated multiple critical failures.
Multiple.
How many times can we roll a 2?
A sea serpent is attacking a ship in the middle of a tremendous storm. Fire eels ooze on deck. Many of us are clamoring to go back through the door that brought us to this cursed place, especially when finding out that the sea serpent is attacking the ship because of us.
Our brave Dwarven Fighter decides that he is going to rip a harpoon gun off its mooring, climb the serpent, and fire at point blank range. Rolling a critical success, he actually rips the harpoon gun off its moorings and it still works. The rest of his plan did not quite work out as planned.
I decided that my Cleric should actually contribute whereupon a critical fail in my attack with a harpoon gun. I decide to attack fire eels and leave the heavy lifting to my little dwarven friend.
To cut to the chase, the ship had 1 hit point left. Most of the sailors on the boat were swept overboard. Our mage spent most of the battle being seasick. One character died, but made a bargain with Death to return with a different profession. The cursed shapeshifter alternately changed into a werewolf (the moon), a ghost (dead creature), and a host of other things. The captain and crew were grateful for our assistance.
My dwarven friend even got to keep his harpoon gun. The captain, however, said that he could spare no harpoons. Undeterred, he strips down to his skivvies and dives overboard. He retrieves a tooth and a scale from the slain sea serpent for the two slayers as well as nine harpoons.
Thanks to my bag of holding, we will soon be dungeon crawling with a harpoon gun. I haven’t laughed so hard in a very long time. 🙂
And then my wife ran a silly and fun Dungeon World session based on it this afternoon (Sunday).

Is only having two Player Characters feasible?
Is only having two Player Characters feasible? Wanting to make a real life group but only two people are interested, and the games I’ve GMed have had three at least and I think that is kind of the least number you should have since with two i’d be afraid of monsters/multiple dangers. If you have played with only two PCs do you give them an advantage like a hireling or something?
