Do you sometimes apply modifiers to a check for inherent difficulty?

Do you sometimes apply modifiers to a check for inherent difficulty?

For example, if a PC is actively searching for a hidden lookout that is well camouflaged, do you apply something like -1 or -2 Forward to the check?

I feel like you don’t, but I’m not sure how to handle this.

It seems to me that way too many questions of DR would imply that I must reveal the hidden creature :

What is about to happen? –> Alarm raised by lookout

What should I be on the lookout for? –> hidden lookout

What here is not what it appears to be? > hidden lookout

There is a player looking to find a GM to run this in a Dungeon World format. Great idea for converting adventures to Dungeon World!

Looking for some creative contributions from Dungeon World fans!

Happenings in Christmas Village Day 2 #HiCV

A 25 day collaboration of magical holiday joy for queer gamers

HiCV 2017 will be fully released in PDF on Christmas Day, Monday December 25th, featuring further development of last year’s content as well as brand new fun for Dungeon World and Monsterhearts.

See our work in progress here: https://goo.gl/F5di4M

The second day gives bells.

> For Dungeon World: You’ve heard the rumors and the tales. You may have even seen something moving up there, dancing between the swinging brass bells. There has to be someone ringing those bells after all, but why do you never see them? Why don’t they come down to join the festivities? Tell us about the outcast that lives in the belfry.

> For Monsterhearts 2: The Winter Ball is approaching and the people who care are all buzzing about who will be declared the “Belle of the Ball”. What’s something on the committee’s list of themes for the ball, and what might that look like?

You can comment here with your submissions. We’re aiming for holiday content here. You don’t need to worry about writing queer content. View our submission guidelines here: https://goo.gl/WR9HLJ Thank you for being a part of this.

If anyone wants to play HiCV content, feel free to comment below. We are organizing sessions throughout the month and even into January. We would love to spend the holidays with you!

Hireling Adept: Is there a limit to the adeps abilities?

Hireling Adept: Is there a limit to the adeps abilities?

From the DW SRD:

Adept

An adept has … The most important feature of casting with an adept is that any negative effects of the casting are focused on the adept first.

So the adept takes every negative result of every spell he assists?

The protector has a limit like: Skill -1 for every use.

The fighter will need first aid after he takes the first blow.

But what happens to the adept if i roll a 7 with my magic missile spell?

Going to be introducing DW to a group of five 10-year olds.

Going to be introducing DW to a group of five 10-year olds. Any tips for how to have them choose their character classes without inviting conflict?

I’m concerned about a fight breaking out over who gets to be — let’s say — the thief. And then having a campaign where one kid feels cheated the whole time cause now they’re — I dunno — the ranger.

I won’t have a printer onsite and can’t get an answer in advance. I don’t know the kids so can’t really choose for them. (Unless you think I should anyway?)

Should I just bring two of every class I’m offering? And if two want to be the same, allow it? That’s a lot of superfluous printing…

Thinking of offering classes from the Hack series:

Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, Wizard — plus I’m also going to throw in the Witch and Dashing Hero cause they’re my favs.

Thanks!

What’s in your screen?

What’s in your screen?

I’m building a GM screen for an upcoming game, putting in various useful bits of information that I want at hand – agenda, principles, GM/dungeon moves, treasure tables, character traits/vices (Freebooters on the Frontier by Jason Lutes), NPC instincts. What do you have in your screen?

Since the GM doesn’t really roll dice in DW, I know that a GM screen might seem superfluous, but my intention isn’t to hide from the players. Some things need to be immediately at hand and a flipping through a binder/notebook is just not immediate enough.

Hit me with your best!
