Greetings Dungeon Worlders!

GenCon strikes this week, and though I’ve missed all scheduled events and whatnot, I’ll still be roaming the floor looking for pickup games. I’ve got Dungeon Crawl Classics squared away, and a bit of a pre-con cold has given me the time this weekend to prep and pocket Adventures on Dungeon Planet as well, with a healthy dose of gnarly Carcosan impressionism. And warbots.

Anyone going to the con and looking for some games?

Sudden realization this morning about a tone I keep catching in the Dungeon World games, and have been chasing with my GMless hack.

Dungeon World is the game of Choose Your Own Adventure/Fighting Fantasy/Gamebook Adventure fiction. CHARACTER does THINGS, so you ROLL to find out how that goes for them. If there isn’t a result worth writing an entire branching story path for…don’t roll!

My dream for the present GMless document is to flow things back to DCC rpg as well, since I adore both games.

The monster making rules for DW are awesome, and I want to carry them over as well.

My request is this: can anyone point me to a decent DW to D&D monster conversion? Tags and such should work fine as is, but getting the questions on hit points/dice right is important. Of course, I could engineer from the ground up via the fiction, but I want to see if there are any examples of prior art.

The draft for GMless Dungeon World is complete.

The only missing element is Steadings, because I frankly do not use them as such, leaning towards a more picaresque type of adventuring where a city-as-situation method prevails.

Now I need to playtest them. I have an optional sub-module based off of Inspectres’ self-pacing mechanism that we can try as well, but I really want to get the core of collaborative improv DW down first.

Let me know if you guys have any questions. Open to all DW/IW playbooks.
