Also, I'd love to play DW as a player sometime. I always end up being GM. If anyone ever wants to GM a Play by post thing, hit me up.

Awesome. I don't actually have Private messaging activated on my profile though so uh... Does he have steam?

EDIT: My B-baller has officially been completed. Can... Can Gnome7 put this monstrosity in the megapost?


In related news, here is a little something I cooked up. I hope this is as inspired as I think it is. Or maybe it's just gimmicky as gently caress.

This is pretty interesting! But it doesn't seem to have a lot of merit on its own, as yet; most of the starting moves seem to be just using the Major Arcana as a lens through which you Discern Realities, or do some Bard- or Mage-like stuff. Blessing and Curse is a really neat take on a generic utility move. What kind of things do you want this playbook to be good at?

Some thoughts: What is Draw a Card supposed to actually do? As far as I can tell it just lets you have a card, which then does nothing. Are you planning on incorporating spreads for any advanced moves? I could see them being useful for some Ritual-like stuff. The little end page of interpretations is absolutely essential, too; I imagine the majority of DW players give zero shits about memorizing a bunch of Tarot symbology, so keep that in mind. Are you planning on using the Minor Arcana for anything?

I figure I'd post the Firefighter again for review in here as I've expanded the classes moveset a bit more. Ignore the move that does absolutely nothing mechanically distinct as I all ready know that is a problem.

Is it considered bad form to edit another writer's playbook? I have a player in my game who wants to run a particular class, but I feel it is broken. I made a bunch of edits, but not sure if it is okay to post them without asking the person who made it.

quote:

Con Artist
Whenever you attempt to sell a useless item, talk yourself out of trouble with an authority figure, or try to convince someone you are more powerful than you truly are, roll +CHA. If you roll a 10+, you are successful and you gain +1 forward to the next move taken to deceive the same target....

quote:

Bag of Tricks
Your bag of tricks contains various props, such as 'magic' wands, powders that change the color of fire and smoke, crystals, and tarot cards. As long as your bag of tricks is in your possession, you also have a supply of the following useful items with 2 Ammo each:
•Flash Cotton creates a quick burst of bright flame. When you use flash cotton to blind a creature temporarily, roll +Dex; on 10+ the target is blinded just long enough to take advantage of the situation. on 7 - 9, they are blinded, but pick one:

• It does not last as long as you hoped.
  
• Someone unintended is also blinded.
  
• You supply is momentarily exhausted until you can replenish it.
  

•Smoke Bombs rapidly fill an area roughly the size of a small room full of thick smoke. When you throw a smoke bomb at your feet, spend 1 Ammo and all creatures in the affected area have limited vision, but are also obscured from others.
•Fireworks come in two basic types.

• Cherry bombs explode after two or three seconds and cause disorientation. They may be thrown (near) and deal your damage to anyone struck by the cherry bomb.
  
• Rockets take a minute to set up (slow) and deal d10 damage to anyone struck by one. All rockets follow an erratic path, take a -1 penalty when you Volley with rockets. This penalty increases to -2 if the target is far.
  

All fireworks are very, very loud.

quote:

Powder Monkey
When you have the supplies available and spend one or more hours crafting more tricks, you may replenish up to 2 Ammo (to a Max of 3 Ammo) on one of the items in your Bag of Tricks for each hour spent doing so.

quote:

Level 2-5 moves:

Juggler
Take +1 to volley and +1 damage with thrown weapons. This advanced move is problematic, typically classes don't gain a flat +1 to any basic moves. The only alternative I came up with was perhaps something closer to: when you throw a weapon with the thrown tag, you count it as the ammo tag instead, this gives you a replenish-able supply of throwing daggers and anything else thrown you find.

Cowardice
When you defy danger by running away or hiding, add +1 to your roll. This is the same problem that Juggler is having, here's an alternative: you may treat a 7 - 9 as a 10+, but you pass the danger on to another person nearby. This allows the charlatan to bypass having to take a worse outcome by pushing the problem onto an unsuspecting victim, which could turn out bad as well. This also sets up for a new advanced move.

A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
When you roll a 7-9 on a spout lore attempt, you may ask your GM to give you two pieces of information instead on one moderately useful one. One of these pieces of information will be true, and useful. The other will be completely wrong. This move is counter-intuitive to some Dungeon World principles. As a DM it only makes things difficult, I would never lie to the player on a spout lore or discern realities, even on a miss. It isn't part of playing to the fiction and it is frustrating to players.

Nothing Up My Sleeve
You get +1 on sleight of hand attempts. This one is the same as juggler, but I am tempted to allow it as I am changing the 6 - 10 move that is based on this one.

Level 6-10 moves:

The Long Con
Take +1 ongoing to all moves intended to deceive someone who has fallen victim to your con artist or fortune teller moves until your deception is discovered. This goes hand-in-hand with the change I made with the Starting Moves: Con Artist. "If you roll a 10+, you are successful and you gain +1 forward to the next move taken to deceive the same target." as a result, I removed the +1 on Con Artist and... Your cons are exceptionally believable. When you attempt to use the Con Artist move or Fortune Teller move on someone whom you've successfully fooled before, take +1 forward to the roll.

Pyromancer
You've mastered the theatrical use of fire, and picked up some nasty tricks to use in combat. As long as you have your bag of tricks, you can roll +DEX to throw a burst of fire in an arc (close, 2d6 damage, ignores armor).You also get +1 to volley any flaming objects. I love the idea of adding more tricks to your bag! I wish there was a 2 - 5 move like this one. However, it does not fictionally make sense that you become more accurate with objects just because they are on fire. This move, unfortunately, seems unfinished. There is nothing that tells you what happens when you roll +Dex; what happenes on a 10+, 7 - 9, or even miss? Also, it needs a fictional trigger, like the others. PS: omg, thats a lot of damage, again. So we replace it with: When you use your bag of tricks to produce an arc of flames immediately in front of you, Roll +Dex. On a 10+, deal your damage to any creature caught in the flames, this attack ignores armor. On a 7 - 9, as above, but either someone or something unintended, or even you yourself, is caught in the flames as well. (note, this trick does not use ammo, you're probably using raw ingredients to do this anyway.)

Well Read
Requires: A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing
Take +1 to all spout lore rolls, and get twice as many uses out of books. Same as juggler, but it would be okay if this were conditional. Perhaps, When you Spout Lore on the mysterious or magical, take +1 Forward to the roll and... the books thing

Factotum
You can learn one move from another class, treating your level as one lower. You can't learn real magic. This move may be taken twice. You've already taken it once as a 2 - 5 move, you can't take 3 multiclass moves.

Just a Misunderstanding
Requires: Cowardice
When you are outnumbered, you get +1 armor and +1 defy danger. This is the thief's Underdog move, but with the impossible +1 to all Defy rolls attached. I still need to change the second part to something else.

Master Magician
Replaces: Nothing Up My Sleeve
You get +2 on sleight of hand rolls. Remember, I said I was replacing this back on Nothing Up My Sleeve. When you use Sleight of Hand to remove and object from another creature's possession, you may replace it with another object of your choosing without any further detection; a convincing fake you fashioned just for this occasion, a different item yours or someone else's, or a lit firework.

Desperate Lie
When one of your schemes is discovered, you have one last chance to tell a whopper and convince your mark it was all a misunderstanding. You get one chance to roll a 10+. This roll never gets any kind of bonus. This move is fine, but seems unfinished. I suppose you are trying to make the roll to avoid the reprocussions of your own scheming. It just doesn't seem clear what the results of this roll mean.

When did this happen

GimpInBlack posted:

Like a month or so ago? A guy who put my Gladiator playbook knto character sheet format back before I bothered to changed the names of the racial moves and equipment and made really minor edits to a couple of moves and started selling it on DTRPG. To his credit, when he was called on it he took it down, refunded the sales, and apologized, but still.

Oh that dude, I saw his apology post on G+ and always wondered what that was about.

Actually, a friend is working on a site for DW pbp, as long as we gave credit, would you be cool with him throwing your revised core classes up on the site?

Xelkelvos posted:

I dunno if this has been answered before, but concerning the Captain from Inverse World, the ship they start with is meant to be setting appropriate, I assume? (So in a subterranean world, the Captain receives some sort of digger or Earth-diver.)

Inverse World posted:

Using The Captain outside of Inverse World

The Captain has an airship in Inverse World, but this is entirely because it's a sky-based setting. A sailing ship or a massive land rover won't get you anywhere in Inverse World - but in other settings, why not?

If your GM does not want a captain with an airship from level 1, there are other routes you can take. You can be the captain of a traditional sea-faring vessel, or maybe some kind of walking land fortress or giant mobile tank. If you're playing in Dungeon Planet, you could be The Captain of a star-faring space ship!

Your ship should be adjusted to best fit the setting you are playing in, and this should be discussed with the other players and the GM. The nature of your ship, how it moves, and what makes it work is up to you and your group, no matter what kind of ship it may be.

If your Captain isn’t using an Airship, you’ll need to change a couple of things about the class.

First up, the name of the move Sail the Skies. You’ll want to change that to fit the type of terrain your ship covers – Sail the Seas, Sail the Stars, Roam the Lands, Delve the Depths, whichever.

Secondly, the Legendary Ship move adds three different enhancement options to your ship. The ones provided in the default playbook are chosen based on what would probably work best for an airship in Inverse World, but you may want different options than the ones provided, especially if you aren’t even flying an Airship at all.

When you gain the Legendary Ship move, instead of taking the three options provided in the default playbook, choose any three of the Legendary Ship enhancement options found on the next page. The end result will be your own, customized Legendary Ship set of options, and will stick with you when you Renovate your ship in the future.

Legendary Ship Options

Choose three:
 Air Ship: Your ship can fly through the air, ignoring all the perils of the ground below.
 Drill Nose: Your ship has a giant drill mounted on the front of it, and it can dig through earth and stone.
 Ghost Ship: Your ship has a constant aura of dark fog, which does not hinder your own ability to navigate. Pursuers will always lose track of your ship.
 Invincible: Your ship needs to take 14 damage or more from a single hit to mark a point of stress.
 Opulent Ship: your ship is lavish with silks, jewels, and gold. When you gain Trade, gain twice as much Trade.
 Storm Ship: Your ship runs on electricity and shoots bolts of lightning. Your cannons gain the Elemental (Electric) and Ignores Armor tags.
 Submersible: your ship can dive beneath the waves, bringing all cargo and crew safely underwater.
 Warp Drive: Your ship can teleport to anywhere it’s been before. It takes a while to boot up the engines for this, though.

What's Dungeon Planet?

Fenarisk posted:

Absolutely. As I said before there's little things from others here on the forums I incorporated and it's still basically the core classes, so I'd never sell them, they were mostly a personal project for my own games and learning the system better. Feel free! I'd suggest giving props to zarathud too since it's his templates and he helped clean them up.
