Weird question – does anyone know who is responsible for this?

I would really like to talk to them about doing an updated version – I use the Gazetteer as a reference and to share the text with folks all the time.

Last Caress
When you sacrifice an innocent in the name of sweet, sweet Death, erase a Bond and write a bond with Her instead. When you take your Last Breath, roll +bond with Death instead of nothing.
Where Eagles Dare
When you do something absolutely bat-shit crazy, take +1 forward on a roll related to your careless madness.
Astro Zombie
Horde, Planar, Construct, Terrifying
a burning hand (d6+4 damage) 11 HP 1 armor
Close, Forceful, Ignores Armor
Special Qualities: immunity to being killed in any normal way, undead, melted flesh
Sent by a vicious wizard from beyond the stars, these shambling corpses melt flesh with their radioactive touch and hunger for one thing – the destruction of all that lives
Instinct: exterminate the human race
*melt flesh with a touch
*arrive from space in great numbers
These make perfect Dungeon World maps, if you take out all the commentary.

I’ve been thinking about what a set of curses, blessings and the like might look like as Compendium Classes.
I’ve been thinking about what a set of curses, blessings and the like might look like as Compendium Classes. The Vampire, the Werewolf, etc.
Essentially free moves to represent the curse itself and modify the character (a “blood” hold for vampires and a feeding move, for example) and then optional per-level moves to explore your new vampiric nature. Maybe an exit move to shed the curse?
What do you think, O wise and noble Tavernites?
A really great post about DW

Continuing on my brain-train of making magic items, a couple of simple moves for creating spell scrolls.
Continuing on my brain-train of making magic items, a couple of simple moves for creating spell scrolls. Thoughts and feedback welcome, of course.
When you imbue a special scroll with one of your prepared spells spend 1 XP and roll + INT. On a 10+ choose one, on a 7-9 choose two.
– only you can release the magic from the scroll
– take -1 forward as the process drains your energy
– you forget the spell
When you read a spell from a prepared scroll roll + INT. On a 10+ the spell takes effect as normal. On a 7-9, the spell takes effect plus choose one;
– the spell has some unusual side effect when it is cast
– the scroll is destroyed in the process and cannot be used again
Want to create magic items in Dungeon World?
Want to create magic items in Dungeon World? Here are a few moves to allow you to do just that. What do you think? I suspect these could be either Compendium Class moves or just tacked on to the 6-10 list for Clerics and Wizards.
Crafting Magic Items
Lord of Gifts
When you engineer a design for a magical item (weapon, armor, artifact, etc) tell the GM what you aim to accomplish. The GM will tell you three or four of the following;
You’ll need to disenchant ________ first.
You’ll need the aid of __________.
You’ll need to find some __________ to use.
It’ll take an especially long time to prepare.
It’ll be unusually dangerous to craft.
You’ll need to craft it someplace special.
Forged in Soul-fire
requires: Lord of Gifts
When you imbue a specially crafted item with your power spend XP and roll+XP spent (max +3). On a 10+ choose two tags to imbue the item with. On a 7-9 choose one and the GM will choose one, too.
New Tags
– glamoured (with a thought from the wielder, this item can take on the form of something else)
