I’d like to play in a game 7/7/13 at 9am-11:30 PDT.

I wanted to try out an alternative process for character creation. No need to have a character already made, just come with a concept.

If enough people want to play, but aren’t as interested in experimental gaming, then we can just play a straight up game of some sort, but I do request that somebody else run it. 🙂

I have a player who has a very hard time getting “out of character” to answer questions that his character doesn’t know yet, because (and this is the part that bugs me) I haven’t told him yet.

So he has no problem getting out of character to say “Do I know anything about that?” but won’t improv to save his life if I say something like “Soandso, why does this woman want your blood so much?”

Any suggestions?

Hey DW Tavern!

Ever wonder if there was a way to let the GM get involved in the PC action?

DW is oddly capable of a “Moving GM” setup in which each player has a character and a danger that they wish to portray.

It’s still very basic but here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

Jared Sorensen  posted this on the Torchbearer fan page, but I thought it was crazy fitting for DW too!
