If folks are interested in repeating this amazing forum over there, you can – because I made a community:
Sad to see it end
Sad to see it end
With over 11,000 members this is one of the most engaged and active communities that I have been a part of on the web. For the most part it has been positive and has created a lot of really cool stuff.
Thanks for reading my random thoughts over the past few years as I muddled my way through learning about Dungeon World (and PbtA games in general) and thanks for the awesome treasure trove of stuff that you have all freely shared and contributed to. It’s been amazing.
With Google+ officially set to shut down, I hope this group can find some place “nice” to migrate to that maintains a similar nature camaraderie and sharing.
I am @greatbigtable on Twitter in the interim. If I don’t see you there, hopefully I’ll bump into some or all of you out in the ether.
Looking at some old bookmarks of interesting and cool ideas for games.
Looking at some old bookmarks of interesting and cool ideas for games. I would love to see this world statted up in dungeon world especially the clericss and magic-users. It would be interesting to add the other classes like an Oranj Druid and Bard and Paladin

Codex Volume 1 Kickstarter is Live!
Codex Volume 1 Kickstarter is Live!
The Codex Volume 1 Kickstarter is live! The book we are creating will have a HUGE amount of Dungeon World stuff in it (Dungeon World being a very popular game in The Gauntlet community, which is Kickstarting the book).
By my count, there are 116 total of magic items, monsters, and custom moves, 1 compendium class, and 6 adventure starters. If we can hit the first stretch goal, we will be able to include the 40-page Discern Realities Annual in the book, which bumps those numbers up to 173, 8, and 7 (respectively).
That’s a lot of Dungeon World stuff.
The book will have all sorts of other amazing things in it, too. The Codex zine is a really, really special product. We hope you’ll take a look at the campaign today!
What difficult demand does a Bat Spirit make of the Druid?
What difficult demand does a Bat Spirit make of the Druid?
(Context below)
I’m looking for some help/ideas to answer the above question, thanks for taking a moment to consider it.
We’re using the DW Unlimited ruleset. Players are level one, this is our first adventure.
The context is that while facing off against some pirates who had a mage that controlled bats, the Druid spoke to the Bat Spirit and freed it from the mage in exchange for a favor at a later time. If the Druid refuses to deliver on the favor, the Bat Spirit will withdraw its power (bats won’t converse with the druid, can’t shift into bat form) which is significant for this underground campaign.
They’re now at a Kuo-Toan village, with the intent of retrieving a ring from a failed diplomatic mission to the village. There are a few things going on here:
– A kuo-toan OOZE druid, largely fallen out of favor for religious reasons, but kept around because of his ability to create a mind-protecting substance harvested from tumorous growths he creates on the back of large toads.
– A cult that has recently grown up around a kuo-toan leviathan giant (a regular kuo-toan who absorbed a shard of divinity.)
– The diplomat from the failed mission who is being prepped to be sacrificed to the kuo-toan leviathan.
I’d love for the request to complicate their mission, making it a tough choice for the Druid. I’d also love for it to actually be something a Bat Spirit might want – I imagine bats don’t really care about the sort of things the players might be concerned with.
Any ideas are welcome!
This came up in my home game recently.
This came up in my home game recently. The Ranger was trying to shoot a wind spirit with an arrow, but it was much too quick and far away for a regular Volley to have any chance of success. The Ranger then tried to observe the spirit’s patterns of flight and how it reacted to the arrows he was shooting, then lead the target to get the hit that way.
I said, “What will you risk to accomplish that?”
He replied, “That the spirit gets bored and flies off.”
I told him to make his Defy Danger roll, with that as the danger. On a hit, he’d have a chance to Volley and get his mark.
What do you think about this?
What gifts do the Satyr force upon people?
What gifts do the Satyr force upon people?
So, the newly escaped bride seeking adventure with The Druid bringing news of her dead uncle got what she wished for. First she was attacked by an Assassin Vine/Murder Willow, and when they camped to heal her wounds she suddenly became ware of a tune played on a flute, after rolling a -6.
As she listened to the tune, I took advantage of a golden oppourtunity and made her notice the hairy hand as they were skipping through the forest and another -6 meant the Druid found her sleeping in a stone circle in a forest clearing, with garments strewn about.
Now I asked the player what gift she might have accepted from the Satyrs, and got the answer we expectefrom knowing about the Satyrs in folklore and games, but I suggested that it could easily be something else. We made it so we have a hold to spend, and it must me double edged.
One thing we talked about is that it could be a blessing of the forest (she has circles of paint and ash on her whole body), and that it meant she wouldn’t be attacked by anything in the forest, but might offend the main religion – or maybe the Dwarves they are about to seek out.
Do anyone have some other suggestions?
