(I see an article at Critical Hits (http://www.critical-hits.com/blog/2013/12/10/deathtrap-dungeon-world-part-1-gm-principles/) that mentions a conversion called Black Plume Mountain, but the link to it is dead.)

I was just out buying a dress coat and had my dungeon world book with me. The guy who was working saw it and we started talking. Yadda yadda yadda. I’m going to run a game for his family.

Dungeon world for the win.

This is the final version of my Escaping Kazarak Encounter Checklist.

In play it worked really well and took the party about an hour and fifteen minutes to blast, rapid fire, through nine of the total eleven encounters due to the luck, or lack thereof, of their dice rolls.

I am glad that I went this route for the cataclysmic final battle between the dwarf titan and the Eyrok demon because the players were more invested in the outcome. This may be due to the fact that they are mostly in their earlier teens and preteen years.

Again, I was going for the idea that the battle between the titan and the demon was raging all over the gigantic underground city of Kazarak, destroying the path that they had used to enter the city. This checklist gave me a chance to switch focus between the battle raging around them and the current encounters that they were stumbling upon as they tried to make their escape.

I am working on a full session report (the outline and my basic notes are finished) and will post it to my website, and link it here, when I complete it.

Working on this encounter from my Escaping Kazarak Encounter Checklist

I’ve got the following scene set, I just need to come up with a custom move, I think.

Waterfall of Treasure

You round the corner and see a squat round being (a xorn, see Plundergrounds #2, Threats, kz-10), seemingly made of stone, that is standing on its three legs and using its three arms to shove rocks and debris into the giant mouth that makes up the top of its body. With every bite of its three jawed mouth, you feel a pulse of heat emanate out from it as it warms the room. It must have been in this area for a while as the walls and floor are full of holes. Below its feet you can see lace-like caverns spider webbing into the darkness. After a moment or two, one of its three eyes rotates and fixates in your general direction and it takes a step towards. Just then, a crack in the stone structure above it widens and crumbles away as a waterfall of gold coins and treasure jets forth from a giant secret treasury and crushes the being, killing it instantly.

And the treasure keeps coming, more than should realistically exist in the world. At first, it forms a giant mound completely obscuring the monster. Then, you notice, it starts to fall away and you hear a distant tinkling as it begins falling into the caverns below. You also hear cracking and popping sounds and the floor feeling like it is shifting under your feet.

What do you do?
