Magic Item Monday; #DruidWeek  Boogaloo; 

The Wolf Cloak 

The wearer of this cloack, made out of wolfpelts is protected against the cold. 

Well; that is not all. If you howl like a wolf while wearing this cloak you can make the Shapeshift Move to turn into a wolf yourself. However, when you do this the first time, start a countdown with 6 segments. When you roll a 10+ on you Shapeshift, fill in 2 segments, on a 7-9 fill in 1. When all the segments are filled you are forever trapped in the form of the wolf, unable to transform back. 

Thank you to everyone that participated in #DruidWeek . I can’t really name specific people because i would forget half of you and that wouldn’t be fair. Thanks to anyone that started discussions or joined in. Thanks to anyone that created content, posted stories or spread the word. Thanks to anyone that read and gave +1s. 

Thanks to anyone who voted Druid during the kickstarter. 

I feel like Druid Week was an improvement over Fighter Week and we started really strong. There was so much discussion going on on monday. It’s a bad sad we couldn’t keep this level of engagement up over the whole week. I tried by starting discussions about the other Druid moves but that didn’t really work out. It might say a thing or 2 about the Shapeshift move that a lot of questions were posted on that and not so much the other moves.

I was really inspired by Druid Week. 4 of the CC i posted where directly inspired by the occasion, only the Druid of one form was planned beforehand. 

I think we need at least a 2 week breather before the next class week; if people still feel like it’s a thing you want to do. We had a fighty and a magicy class now; i think the next one should be Thief.

I am very open for any suggestions on how to improve the “event”, how to keep participation higher, what to aim for etc. 

Thanks again community.

CHIMERA

When you shapeshift, you may create a merged form of up to three different  shapes. You may be a bear with the wings of an eagle and the head of a ram, for example. Each feature will grant you a different move to make. Your chimera 

form follows the same rules as shapeshifter otherwise.

Does anyone have experience with this move? Would you just allow players to basically pick and choose their moves? 

When he says, i want feature X, Y and Z does he get the moves directly accociated with this or moves that reflect the abilities of the new form? 

The pick and choose option for the example in the move would probably be: 

Fly high in the sky (Eagle)

Knock them over with horns (Ram)

some bear thing 

You could however go with 

Dive from the sky, horns first (eagle+ram)

Carry a rider into the air (eagle+bear)

Collapse large things (mixture of bear strength and ram horns) 

the second option would be harder to come up with on the fly so GM and player might want to work on some combined froms beforehand. It get’s really interesting when you combine this with Thing/World Talker. 

Then you can be a ram with assassin vine tentacles made out of fire!
