Here is a little treat for #halloween
Here is a little treat for #halloween . Its a couple of DW moves for a Ravenloft like setting. I wanted to have a whole set of rules but couldn’t make it in time. Please comment and if you like the idea check my project at http://mistofdread.blogspot.mx/
Happy Halloween!

“Behold my true form and despair!”
“Behold my true form and despair!”
What do you do with a boss monster that has multiple distinct forms, each with its own moves? Do you write it up as a single monster with a whole mess of moves, and just use the fiction to determine what moves are available? Or do you write up a separate monster for each distinct form?
I see that Ancient Vampire Lord uses the former method, elegantly stating the multiple forms in a single move:

But in that case, the most of the forms are common animals that probably wouldn’t require memory prompts for their moves. For boss monsters that transform into demonic chimerae or mythic creatures, would you follow the same pattern?
I reckon the correct answer is “whatever works for you”, but I was wondering if there are any examples from the field?

Demon Castle Dracula!
Demon Castle Dracula!
Castlevania, the castle of Dracula, which is rumored to appear every century, suddenly materialized out of the mist as if to show her the way.
I might get a chance to run a Castlevania-inspired dungeon ruckus for Halloween. I’m reflecting on Symphony of the Night (my favorite game in the series), and just beginning to consider how it might translate into Dungeon World.
Consider this thread a “Give a Penny, Take a Penny” for your Castlevania Adventure Fronts, Monsters, Bonds, Compendium Classes, and anything else that seems essential. Feel free to post write-ups or moves for your favorite creatures of Castlevania, or anything else you deem creepy enough for the occasion!
I will post some initial ideas later tonight, after I get my kids to bed. I’m also a big fan of Bram Stoker’s portrayal of the vampire as a an apocalyptic Antichrist nightmare, and my ideas might get inflected by that.
But enough talk… Have at you!
