Alright, I’ve been wanting to play test an idea I had. In order to play please do three things before the even.

1. Say you are coming to the event.

2. Have a character ready to go and all filled out. All classes are welcome.

3. Prepare one “front”. If you don’t know what this is,  just think of one danger or problem that our heroes might run into.

And that is it! I’ll catch everybody up when the game begins. Please be ready to try out something a little different!

I’d like to play DW in about 4 hours…anybody got anything that I can hop in?

I’d be willing to run a game…but not excited. Seems all I do is DM anymore 🙂 

Maybe I’m missing something, but can somebody please give me a step by step to writing front?

I understand each aspect of it: dangers, questions, portents. What I don’t get is what order i should write them in. Also, how do i categorize everything. Right now it’s a big mesh in my head…I’m getting a headache.

Just a though/question about signature weapon.

Just a though/question about signature weapon. I had a player ask this and I vetoed it (in retrospect it might have been a bad time to veto): So my signature weapon can be fists right? And then I get to place two enhancements on it? Okay, I choose Versatile: Reach and Huge.

 So now my hands are capable of attacking at the range of a polearm and can push someone over, make things explode, and so forth.

Essentially, my player was trying to make a fighter capable of the streetfighter  Hadouken… Which seemed to me out of place.

What would you have done with this?

Thinking of getting a last minute DW throw-down (hangout) tomorrow morning at 8am PDT for about an hour and a half…

I have nothing prepared. I am open to anything. Lets do this! 🙂

I’m running a DW game tonight (actually around a table), and I might need a player or two.

I’m running a DW game tonight (actually around a table), and I might need a player or two. Anybody interested in coming down to Long Beach CA for a game?

I’m also considering experimenting with a live/virtual tabletop…oh the possibilities.

Let me know if you are interested.

Game play will probably begin around 7pm PDT. 

Cheers

I played an excellent game run by GM Rondor tonight.

I played an excellent game run by GM Rondor tonight. We had a blast! However, we did come across an interesting question. To “dungeon crawl” do you take on a perilous journey, or do you have to  describe rounding each and every corner, or is there some happy medium? 

Perilous journey didn’t seem to cover the right things at first…but as I look at it, even if the “journey” is into the next room (where an encounter is about to happen) it does matter how long it takes you to get there, how many resources you use, and weather you get the drop on the people in the room or not…

Am I thinking about this right? How would you do it? We went room by room, and I was just wondering if there might be a more streamlined way of doing it.

I think if I did it, I’d do it as a perilous journey but have the roles be:

Scout- Get the drop

Leader- Determine time

Explorer- Notice any areas of interest.

Or something like that.

How would you do it?
