Hi, new member.

I’m looking for Star Wars hacks! Can anyone point me in the right direction? All my google searches turn up stuff from years ago, and I figure by now, the community knows which ones are the good ones 🙂

thanks

Has anyone converted any Pathfinder APs to DW and run them successfully? Are there any pitfalls to doing this?

I love the idea of Kingmaker being a DW campaign, but I’m unsure of the amount of work involved in conversion. Would it be better to just build something similar in my own DW campaign as opposed to converting?

I posted this a while back but here’s my updated version of my DW Moves Sheet.

I posted this a while back but here’s my updated version of my DW Moves Sheet. This is a totally hacked version, straying farther and farther away from vanilla DW the more I update it. It is getting dangerously close (in a good way) to what +Peter J is doing with Dungeon World Unlimited. You might also notice that the wording of most of the moves have been shorten and simplified. It is by design, I like being able to quickly read a move while playing.

Anyway, I figured some might like this, so here goes :

Honest question, why do you think DW lacks a 13+ result entry whereas some other pbta games use it to represent extraordinary results.

Are 10+ results in DW supposed to represent exceptional success or just normal success without complication?

This has probably been covered in the past, but in case it hasn’t, I just had the notion of yet another way to improve bonds, very simply.

Rewrite them as move triggers.

When ______ misunderstands me or my culture, I will explain myself to them, no matter how long it takes.

The difference is subtle and easy to write off, but I think it increases the chance of players interacting with them, since they are already primed to look for similar triggers.

Hello, tavern! I have a DMing advice question for you!

A while ago, my players came across a magic item (a spear) that has some specific properties when it interacts with a particular named monster (a campaign villain).

However, they never actually bothered to identify the item (they don’t have any wizards/similar, so they didn’t even try). But they used some inference and deduction to know that it could be used against the villain.

I remember one of the players suggesting that maybe the spear did X, which was untrue. But this was speculation; they knew that they didn’t know its actual properties. I think the plan was to talk to a wizardly ally when they got the chance.

But they never followed up, and over time they’ve all decided that the spear does X when actually it does Y. I’ve tried to remind them that they never got it actually identified but they always conveniently forget that I told them that.

Last session, they heard a story about some magical legendary spear that did Y and their response was like “oh, that sounds like our spear except it must be another version because ours does X, not Y.” So they are now, apparently, 100% certain that the spear does X even though they have no reason to be so certain.

Part of the issue is that its usage is limited – only against the campaign villain, and they’re not quite there yet, but they’re planning for the ultimate showdown, in which this spear will come into play.

What they think it does is summons the villain (if you plunge it into the ground or something like that) but what it actually does is immobilizes the villain (if you stick him with it). So as you can see, the actual usage is quite different. They are planning around using the spear to summon the villain when that would have no effect.

My question for you, oh Dungeon World Tavern, is what should I do about the spear? What would you do? Should I let their plan work? Should I let their plan fail? Should I have a wizard tell them what the spear does?

Thanks!

Hi!

Hi! Do somebody know such a house rules or hack, in which we can easily create organisations (like noble houses or thief clans)? For example some positive and negative tags organised by themes (financial situation, sources for fight, intelligence, natural resources, workforces, etc.).

Thank you!

Dear Jeremy Strandberg, I’m so impressed by your awesome Homebrew World that I decided to translate it with some volunteers for the brazilian community (we did the same effort before, to bring DW Guide to brazilian portuguese). Do you agree?

Besides that, I’m planning to expand your material for long campaigns, and I’ll problably write a chapter talking about ficcional positioning and how this is so important when you play Dungeon World.

By the way, I’m following your posts on your blog, it’s the most updated source, right?

DW Tavern

DW Tavern,

How would you go about shanghaiing the party to become part of the crew of a ship for a nautical adventure? A move seems like too much room for chance, even if crafted in such a way that the shanghai is inevitable. Alternately, knocking a whole party out with little they can do about it seems a hard sell. In my thoughts if narrating the event, I would isolate members, then knock out, minimizing the hard feelings. As a move, I could offer holds for high rolls, like retaining equipment or something, though ultimately the shanghai would happen. Thoughts and thanks.
