james day’s post on DW one-shots below got me thinking: What would be some good concepts for a procedural/episodic DW game?

I’m envisioning a game in which:

– every scenario could be wrapped up quickly (1-2 sessions)

– every PC can be assumed to be part of “the team” from the get go

– you don’t have to establish motive or why the PCs would be involved; that’s assumed by the nature of the concept

– PCs can swap in and out easily, without having to explain away why they aren’t here for this “episode.”

Like the better serials, certain “episodes” could and should reveal a larger overarching plot and events from one episode should have impact on subsequent ones (even if the same PCs aren’t there).

PITCH SOME CONCEPTS.  GO!

So you know how in old school D&D you got to name level and started a stronghold and the game changed on you? Has anyone written up anything like that for DW?  Or thought about what it might look like?

I know I’ve seen folks talk about assigning bonds to NPCs. Those of you that have done so: what (if any) mechanical effect did the bonds provide? (Aside from resolving bonds fo XP during the End of Session move.)

Andy Hauge’s last post got me thinking this would be a fun game: GM’s, what’s your favorite hard move you remember making? 

Bump.

James Claus-Nesbitt posted this a few weeks back, but I know I’d forgotten about this.  I would have backed it just to see more of these illustrations.  And a mutations move table. Mmm. Mutations.  (So, yeah, backed.)
