Bonds. Can you have more than one bond with another character? In my family game the two characters have awesome bonds that can drive play. But at the same time I don’t ever see them getting resolved. How have others resolved this lack of resolve? Or if something else becomes more defining in their relationship does it supersede their existing bonds and the old ones go away with the resolution (it isn’t that important anymore, our differences, we have been to hell and back together who gives a care about Jonah being woefully misguided about the world).
Thoughts? How have you dealt with this in your game?
Dragons have special quality elemental blood. What has this meant in your game? Looking for inspiration. Could see this meaning a lot of things in the fiction.
Just finished Father’s Day present part I – dungeon world with wife and son.
Just finished Father’s Day present part I – dungeon world with wife and son. He plays hawlyr the son if the prince of the otherworld realm of Gilliad. My wife plays Jonah a reclusive ranger on hard times. Hawlyr must get Jonah (who is really a half elf) back to Gilliad to pass the test to see which one will be the prince. The problem: some dragon whelps (the boy said 10 and I about fell out my chair) thought the crystal door was treasure. The court of Gilliad closed the door. They need to recover the crystal and find a new place for the door. A fight with goblins in the mountains started off the game. Some questions – how do they get the door to the one part if the keep that leads to the cave where the crystal portal is?
I am not making fronts yet- think we are still in first session mode. The wife is getting into more than any other game (she really doesn’t like RPGs).
Best moment of the game when the boy made his light spell on the tree and made it a black light to scare the goblins.
Deepest moment of the game when I ask the wife what the name of her dog. None – Jonah has lost too many things – he doesn’t want to get attached again.
Good first session.char creation was tough at first and thought we were going ditch the game but about halfway through they started to get into it and we had a good session once the ideas started flowing.
Prep consisted of what is your favorite monster. That was it. The wife and boy remembered some caves from a documentary where you have to go down natural chimneys that are hundreds of feet in the dark. Also they suggested that the nearest heading had been abandoned because of the mother dragon! They jus keep it coming!
I just bought planar codex. Great read, although I am confused by the move on page 9 about countdown. Can someone elaborate a bit on what this means, how it has been used in actual play or an example. Think it’s adds to the game, but don’t understand it. Also what playbooks for starting pc’s do you use? The ones that come with dungeon world? If so assume the heritage move replaces your racial move, am I understanding the rules correctly? Do you use the same bonds on the playbooks or do you write new ones for Dis? I saw the posse post, assume that is in addition to bonds?
One last stupid question, when the book says faction, it is used in the general sense, not a specific rule set like a Job or patron?
Anyone have a list of factions in Dis? Or a good random table?
Prettier pages version of the excel sheet I just posted.
Prettier pages version of the excel sheet I just posted. Sorry for all the posts not smart enough yet with google drives to know how to do folders, etc. This has all the names at the top and space at the bottom for a GM to make notes on creatures, people, locations for folks to use. I see it as a prototype for a “Dungeon Starter” Playbook still in the works. My lack of a Graphic Design Fu slash copy of DW style prevents me from making it look like another play book. More than happy for folks to mess around with the source text and of course CCA to LaTorra & Koebel.

Hi all – one of the prereqs for even minimal set-up for a DW game is a list of names (if you are like me and can run out quickly). I looked and on the GM sheet there is not a list of names. I have alphabetically pulled all the DW names from the book and the steading names and put them in this file. Working on pretty-ing it up but right now this will do. Note you may want to cross through your player names of their characters so you don’t use. This list comes from the classes plus the others in the back (but tried to eliminate extras). I am also working on the side to pull in some of the star names from Polaris to this list for more exotic sounding names. Peace.
