One of the more polarizing debates under D&D was the notion of the DMPC and whether or not they have a place in the game.

At our table, there was always a DMPC since day one and my players genuinely dug it.

Right now, we have been experimenting with a DMPC under Dungeon World and I have to say, So far so good. Interestly, it seems more transparent since when he makes a class based move, I roll for him out in the open.

At any rate, its been fun up to this point.

My question is has anyone else out there tried running a DMPC under Dungeon World and if so, what has the experience been like for you?

A soaring tower that was supposed to house an Order of Paladins but ended up looking more arcane than divine. Not sure when and where I will use it.

Some stones and bones. I don’t know why, but I enjoy drawing rocks and boulders. And Calvin & Hobbes-styled trees.

Lastly, a regional map for a new area my players are moving into. There is Starkenhold, a nearby ruin, some woods and hills and of course, a whole bunch of blank, empty space to fill in later.

This little album includes the finished version of Starkenhold, a roadside shrine and something called The Way Home.

As an aside, I present these doodles to my players by way of an NPC Halfling who travels with them. They are part of his sketchbook, his way of keeping a visual memoir of his travels and adventures.
