Rich, detailed storytelling/scene setting is something that many GMs struggle with, myself included. That is why I’m making this zine! I’m aware of the fact that it is a delicate balance. Being overly focused on details makes for boring play or distracts the players. I would love to get the community’s thoughts on detailed storytelling in general!

GMs: what is your best piece of advice (yours or someone else’s) on describing scenes with effective details? Why do you use details?

If you have any other thoughts on detail-oriented storytelling / GM-ing, please contribute.

When you choose the Alien move on the character creation, could you choose the multiclasse dabbler? Unlike the other initial moves that offers this possibility but restricting the acess to multiclass (like the Versatile Background from The Earthling), the Alien move from the Mutant class doesn’t make any statement prohibiting.

I am getting ready to run DW for a group of trad roleplayers, and I find myself explaining a lot of the approaches I have to narrative gaming to them.

So, instead of just keeping those discussions between me and them, I decided to turn them into some posts (and resurrecting my old blog) in case someone else will find it helpful.

With all of that in mind, how do you handle HP in your DW games?

Rations.

Rations.

Rations.

You basically exchange coins for a sub-resource at an exchange rate of 3:5.

What if you skipped the proxy and when you use rations (such as when you take the Undertake a perilous journey or Make Camp move) you pay coins directly to represent the cost of rations?

That way you don’t need to manage a sub-resource, you just pay a direct cost.

You imply at the table that when you find coins you sometimes also find stuff to eat and/or you forage as you travel and resupply whenever you can.

For sake of simplicity, 1 coin / ration.

Creative prompt (answer any or all of the following questions):

Create a staple food (like rice or wheat) for a fantastical society. What makes it fantastical, or just odd? How have the unique properties of this food shaped the culture of this society? How is it harvested? What dishes can be made with it? What does it taste like?
