Playbook Contest! ends 12/11/16 11:59pm EST

Rule 1. In the comments below, post your ideas for what you would like to see become the next Master Artist playbook with a short description of it (Master Blacksmith, Master Minstrel, etc.). The theme should aim to combine some magical (or other) ability with the art of a craftsman – but be creative! You can find examples at www.semidarkarts.com.

Post as many playbook titles as you would like but keep each on it’s own post.

Rule 2. +1 all the titles that you like the most.

The post with the most +1’s will have that theme turned into the next playbook in the Master Artist series and the poster will receive all the current and future Master Artist playbooks absolutely free.

Everyone who posts an idea will receive one free SemiDarkArts playbook of their choice! Let’s vote to find out!

The weekend of the 17th, I’d like to get back into GMing some Dungeon World sessions.

Many new things coming this week, such as a new playbook design, new playbook (the Master Minstrel, a bard rendition), and a brand new website design!

The Minstrel is heavily based on the singing bard trope and my experience for more magical/arcane Bards from MUDs.

Here’s a sneak peek, feedback encouraged!

How would you make this move better?

How would you make this move better?

So I am almost finished with the Master Minstrel playbook but there is one key move that I want to include that is a combination of too long and too vague. Could I get some insights into what people think of it? Is the need for the target’s greatest desire unnecessary?

Premise: A Bard is able to control their tone and wording perfectly, combining it with the world’s arcana to have magical effects (yes, this will be a very magical bard class). Just as Gandalf was able to demonstrate power when he spoke loudly, or how a Jedi can affect the mind of a Storm Trooper, the idea is for simple speech to work the same way for the Bard.

Heart of Hearts

When a Minstrel speaks passionately and directly from the heart, words are fluent and meaningful. The perfect combination of wit and tone can be powerful enough to blend with the ambient arcana, altering the world or people around you. In this lies a Minstrel’s true power.

When you touch another living thing, the GM will provide you a word that speaks to you of their greatest desire or intent. You must incorporate this word in your phrase to align your magic with the target. You may attempt to incept any phrase or idea and have some level of effect, but the power of its benefit will be the GMs judgement of how well it speaks to the word provided and the target’s true beliefs or portents.

The cost of a Minstrel’s power in this way is a personal one. With each word spoken, your HP will reduce by one, but can be replenished at anytime with any method one would typically use to do so (e.g. potions, spells, etc.).
