I was perusing the group today and ran across Mark Tygart’s dungeon starter called “Epic Fantasy” I think it is great. But it prompted a question for me in regards to campaigns:

These starters have all these great questions. In the one referenced there is “How did you learn of the flaming sword?”

It never occurred to me to use these mid-campaign. Does anyone/everyone do this?

Let me give an example from my own campaign. Two of the characters broke into an occupied city via an old smugglers tunnel. The other two tried to bluff their way through the city gate. The two at the gate got captured. The two that got in from the tunnel are waiting in a pub. So the current situation is that the two in the pub don’t “know” that the others are captured.

To break the dead lock I was thinking of using questions from another Dungeon Starter (The Escape) to move the action back into media res

Have the two that are free start in the dungeon where the captured ones are kept. And use those starter questions to get the thing going “after what you did to the guard, will he live?” And go from there. Cut out the part where they have to discover their pals are captured.

Thoughts? Other ideas?

Dungeon World for dungeon crawls.

Dungeon World for dungeon crawls.

Dungeon World for dungeon crawls. I have heard several people say that dungeon world works well for dungeon crawls, but not for more RP heavy campaigns. In my first campaign, I find that it is working well for the straight up RP stuff. We have not actually crawled any dungeons yet, and they are level 3. I did remove the “leverage” requirement for parley, and use it a bit more for interaction. I was just curious about what makes folks say that. Thanks!

Hello,

I joined this community a bit ago, but it has taken this long to get a campaign going.

A few posts tonight, starting with a rules clarification:

Animal companions. Let’s say my Ranger, Robyn, has a wolf with scouting. They are poking around a forest together and we decide Discern Realities gets activated. The Ranger has a wis of +2, and the wolf has a cunning of +2. Do we add 4 to the roll? In the moment I handled it as “you can add your bonus, or the wolf’s, but not both”. If I allow both, the only way they fail that roll is if the dice show a 2. What is correct?
