#pirateworld got a backup printing quote, and it’s cheaper than I had hoped! £25 UK/ $40 US/ €29.50 in EU.

That’s a hardback, 180 page with colour a4 (letter size) book delivered through your front door 🙂

Even better, I’ll be printing all the books in UK and distributing it myself, so I can offer a reward where I customise the books for people too! I’m so happy. As I’m feeling awesome, here’s a sneak preview of a few Backgrounds with a temporary layout!  NB the cultist is my favourite, as it has a clear fictional progression that I’m looking to make in ALL the backgrounds.

Kickstarter goes live in 18 hours, ten minutes: at 12.01 pm British Time tomorrow!

Here’s the Fanatic, who recruits the unwilling into their crusade and turns crowds into weapons.

Here’s the Fanatic, who recruits the unwilling into their crusade and turns crowds into weapons. Available free until the #pirateworld  kickstarter begins on Friday.

Fanatics are crazy about whatever you decide. My favourite imagery is the captain (or first mate!) totally devoted to their ship and its laws, but they can be zealots for anything; volatile gods, royal families, dangerous churches or even natural stuff like fire or the deep ocean. I’d love to hear what Authorities you guys come up with, and what weird ceremonial weapons their champions will wield.

If you guys have wacky moves, reskins, Hireling ideas or pretty much anything, I’m intrigued!

There’s a few suggested Hireling profiles in the Hireling book, I’ll likely post these up later.

Unlike the class previews I’ve posted before, it’s a 2-page fully useable class with tons of moves! It’s only going to be available free at that link until the kickstarter begins, so grab it before Friday if you want it, or back the project and get all the full classes. NB. this preview doesn’t include most look additions, gear or a Pirate World third page.

(A #pirateworld Alchemist variant)

Pick Poisonous Mushrooms

When you have a spare hour or two, you can pick up clearly dangerous fungus; enough to last an adventure. Choose two tags, name the mushroom and add a batch of it (1 weight) to your inventory. If you’re picking magical, rare or fantastical mushrooms add one more tag of your choice.

Starting Tags: bubbling, flaming, freezing, electric, volatile, regenerating, enhancing, lethargising, restorative, poisonous, invigorating, clotting, acidic, strengthening, weakening, toxic, dangerous, murky,

Example: Fuzzy Madcap (poisonous, electric)

Belch (Int)

When you chomp down on a mushroom and burp it out, roll 2d6 +Int. On a 10+, choose one of the mushroom’s tags and apply it to one of the options below:

* the cloud of vapour counts as a reach weapon and deals class damage. Describe how.

* it has lasting effects (e.g. forms into an ice bridge, melts armour,)

If you roll a 7-9, as above, and your aim also hits something unintended, or the GM picks one of the mushroom’s tags and applies the effects to you!

Transform (Int)

When you stuff your face with fungi, you take on the aspects of the mushroom; roll 2d6 +INT.

* On a 10+ hold 3. Choose one of the potion’s tags and describe how it temporarily transforms you. Spend hold to transform for a moment.

* On a 7-9, hold 3 and the GM also chooses a tag, and describes the effect that tag will have each time you spend hold.

Addict

* Add “which mushrooms here look especially dangerous?” to the Discern Realities question list

* You may always ask the GM “what effect will eating this mushroom have?” as you stuff it into your maw, and they will answer truthfully; the answers may include new, undiscovered tags.

Goblin Racial Bonus: “Aaaaarghhhhhhh IM ON FIRE”

All mushrooms automatically have the flaming effect added to them.

Path to Madness is actually about to be redrafted to make it streamlined and smooth (whooo), but I couldn’t resist revealing this class!

If you want a preview, let me know; I’d love any last-minute comments and fixes (or just to hear “yeah! this lets me blow stuff up and summon nightmarish creatures in exactly the way I want to“)

Just over three weeks until pirates, festering amphibians, volatile gods, volcano cultists and explosions.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Two things: first, I’ve made a page full of Brute-themed magic items (or at least, no-one else is going to want to eat a pouch of spider eggs), some post-last breath bonuses and a #GrimWorld   style death move, all included as a third page for the Brute’s character sheet:

Second, I’ve started putting bits of #pirateworld online. I’d love to give people an advance preview/ some testing. Send me a message here if you’re interested!

Of all the Brute magic items, I’m pretty happy with this one:

⃞ DWARF DOOR

This brass door was forged deep underground to protect the gates of Bredar IV from goblin dark magic, and it nearly worked. What the dwarves weren’t prepared for was a cave troll to rip it off the hinges and then beat them with it.

3 weight, awkward, two-handed, 3 armour.

The door harmlessly absorbs dark magic cast directly at the door, though each spell absorbed this way increases the door’s weight by 1.

A quick teaser: #Pirateworld  is steaming ahead and should be on kickstarter come November!

If you’ve ever wanted to play a lizardman volcano cultist, a swashbuckling witch-doctor, or accidentally invite a god to possess you, this dungeon world hack might just be for you. The list of stuff that wants to eat you is growing fairly quickly.
