Question;

Considering DW has no turns as such, how would you handle “Damage over time” effects, such as being on fire, bleeding (or curses that injure) and such?

Ok Tavern, tell me about DW material you really wish someone would make.

So, I just GMed a slapstick Castlevania parody DW session at a bachelor party, and watched a stripper from behind a battered old OD&D DM screen.

The rare absurdity of this is something I will cherish and highly recommend for your gamer friends’ bachelor(ette) parties.

Unhappy with their lot in life, they joined the Church of Endless Unions and sought to barter with the Dark. But when the time came, and the gate was opened, their god’s children poured forth like a tidal wave of leeches, and devoured the congregation.

Now, helpless and fused with the Children, they exist in torment. Their vocal cords plied by the foul vapours the Children blow into their lungs; a maddening chorus to the unnameable Dark.

Hey everyone

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a (free, as in beer) add-on for DW related to Eldritch horrors, madness and horrible bodily transformations.

I thought it might be a nice touch to provide GMs with a big fat glossary of suitably Lovecraftian adjectives to help them describe the horrors the players may encounter in appropriate terms.

I would like to invite you all to contribute your favorite vile, arcane, mysterious and unspeakable adjectives in the comments (and I’ll include you in the credits of course!)
