A few people might remember that I was working on a Fighter variant a while ago (the Peerless Fighter/Armsmaster Fighter). After stalling on it for a few months, I finally figured out what I wanted to do with it, so here it is.

The point of the Peerless Fighter was to come up with a Fighter variant that was more about knowing how to use your gear than about being strong or having a special sword, and that had a few more things to do outside of combat. It’s not a completely radical departure from the core Fighter, but there’s more of a focus on the Fighter as a weapon/armour master (Armor Mastery is starting and BBLG and advance, for example, that way the Fighter gets the ability to spend armor points to negate damage as a unique shtick).

Major changes compared to the previous version (if anyone remembers it) include ditching Signature Weapon for a weapon style mechanic (which makes a lot more sense re: the “best use of your gear” angle) and tweaking Armor Mastery/getting rid of the +armor moves to try to make him less tough (ran a playtest where the Fighter had 5 armor and was basically invulnerable).

I’d love some feedback on the weapon style options (since I feel they’re a bit boring), and if anyone wants to use the class in their game and let me know how Armor Mastery works out for them without the extra +armor moves, that’d be great, thanks!

So what’s the occasion? Nothing special, aside from all four of these and more besides featuring in an as-yet under wraps upcoming project. So that’ll be something to look forward to.

I’m rather new to Dungeon World, but I’ve always been a tinkerer. If nothing else, it helps me get the mechanics of a new system down while I’m learning it. So I whipped up a class based on an old character of mine (all luck, no skill). I’d love any thoughts or suggestions (or a link, if somebody’s already done something similar).

The Spellslinger is a combination of magical combat and wild west archetypes that is built for a fantasy setting, but can be easily tailored to modern fantasy.

The Google Doc linked is always available for free, but for this week, you can pick up the spellslinger PDF (which includes 3 variants) for $1 over at Drivethru RPG if you use this link:

Through the week, I’ll be discussing inspirations for the class, some of the iterations it went through that didn’t work, and possible applications for the moves. I’ll also be asking what the spellslinger represents and does in other people’s games.

Well, I really put my heart and soul into this one… get it?

Well now you CAN get it! The Dungeon World Playbook previously known as the Anticleric has been completed under the name The Damned and is available for purchase at www.SemiDarkArts.com!

It begins…

“Why do you forsake me, Lord?!”

Fallen on your knees, you plead with your God accept you once again. A searing pain tears through your very soul as you collapse to the floor. You muster the strength to lift your eyes and there, in front of you, your reflection.

The cursed mark stares back at you, now a part of you. For the rest of your days, you will walk this land with that traitorous mark and be condemned among your peers.

Will you seek revenge? Lead your own sect? Allow into your soul the darker demons that were once the bane of your existence?

You can do all of that with the rules provided within… become The Damned!
