So I think I might drop the option to take -1d6 damage on Volley in my games because its a really boring decision and has a high probability of a ‘nothing happened’ result. I think the move works just fine without it, but is there any other options anyone can think of to replace it?

Any chance people are up for a game at noon EST tomorrow?

I’ll GM if need be.

So I’m a huge proponent of not using any pre-planned material as a GM and letting the players set the stage for their adventure through questioning. The question I typically start with is:

“What makes this world so fantastically different from our own?”

Given that eventually your players will come to expect this question, what are some other fun and interesting questions that will provide the setting for this adventure? Here’s one:

“What was it that wiped out half of the planet’s inhabitants, and how has life prevailed?”

Real talk. Why is a dueling rapier heavier than a normal rapier?

Lets get another group together. I was hoping to be a player this time, but if need be I’ll man up and GM.

So I’m available for another Saturday afternoon DW. 12pm to 4pm EDT. Can I convince someone else to jump on board to DM? In general who is interested?

Shining Moments from today’s session:

Dinosaur mating call attracting some tyrannosauri.

Turning back time to undue the Druid’s certain death.

The lesser diety of cheese; Lactose.

I will say that GMing DungeonWorld is very exhausting. After 4 hours I don’t think I could handle any more. Truly a mental workout.

A takeaway that I’ve been meaning to talk about:

Don’t plan anything. Ask a player “What about this world is so fantastically different from our own?” and follow it up with a question to give direction to where the adventure starts.

Whew, I need a nap. Thanks to Gabe Mahoney Josh McGraw Tim Franzke Ian Francis for a great game.
