I have about three more weeks until sweet, sweet freedom from work and have been thinking about what type of game I want to run. So far I think running another GM camp first would be a good idea. I've got all my streaming and recording stuff ready and have been testing it. No more two hour recordings without sound! I'm going to start working on dates for that maybe the last week of school when I don't have much going on. Secondly, I want to run a game for a rotating cast of goons in a planar setting (basically whomever can make it on the night we play). I have neither ran a planar game nor ran a game with rotating players, so I'm sure it will be fine! The idea of kitchen sink fantasy is really appealing to me now since I've been reading some old Planescape material (I never got to play it tabletop and didn't get out of the mortuary in the game). I have been digging into Planarch Codex and some other DW planes setting stuff, as well as real world mythology, theology, and culture studies to harvest some general ideas.

I was recently introduced to Races of the Farthest Reaches, which has a substantial number of racial options for interesting ideas. But also I like the bit about "Putting these races into your Dungeon World" at the start; having a collaborative session of trying to flesh out something like this is very appropriate - and also helps the players get invested in the setting, something that is important games like this.

One of my players is playing a paladin and he took a Divine Favor at level 2 to let him pick up cleric spells, however he's told me outside the game that he's not keen on the way he prepares spells "grants new spells of your choice who's level don't exceed your own cleric level+1 and none of which are higher level than your own cleric level" His main grump is at cleric level 6 he can only take 1 level 5 spell and a level 1 spell, but he feels the obligation to take healing spells as a priority His suggestion was as follows: quote:Suggestion: let me load up cleric level - spell level worth of spells in that level. E.g. 1 level 5, 3 level 3, 4 level 2 and 5 level 1s I feel this is a bit extreme though Does anyone have any cleric homebrews or suggestions for other ways to handle the spell restrictions without just telling him to suck it up and stop choosing healing spells?

That's basically 2/4 free spell levels from the cure wounds perspective.

That'd put him at, what, level 6? I think it's pretty reasonable that something he poached for the cost of one 2-5 move doesn't give him effectively unlimited casting, particularly when Paladin has some of the silliest +numbers advances in the game and he's likely the best straight-up fighter as well.

Ok folks, I think I'm ready to tackle this GM DW Summer Camp V.2. Are people still interested? I am thinking about doing 2-3 days of camp at alternating times since people couldn't join last time.

I have a new format in mind that I think might serve better. Everyone would get a chance in the hot seat and it would still be a very casual, informative affair like the last one. Let me play around with it a little and I'll start trying to get things set up soon.

i mean, you included stuff beyond JUST the playbook in there so i dont see a problem with it, but i haven't actually picked up and read the thing. having some items, a compendium class that pairs well with it, etc, is cool and useful for sure if it was just the class people are used to these being pretty barebones, just the sheets for it and nothing more. but it's got other stuff so you're cool

Only 2 pages of the playbook are the class itself, and it's in character sheet format. The rest is copyright information, items, the compendium class, flavor, artwork, and some GMing advice relating to some of the class's mechanics.

The vampire hunter is neat. it's in line with the core classes in a lot of ways, but has a good mix of flavor and keeps a solid niche. A few of the moves are '+1 to Basic move If' but generally they all work well with the established stuff. I also like seeing interaction with a lot of the mechanics that don't get played with by a lot of playbooks, like getting free carousing after hunts or better trained hirelings.

Thanks for your purchase, and I'm glad you like it. I also forgot to thank fellow goon Glazius for giving me feedback on the class last year, which really helped me refine the final design.

Gnome did the same thing withe 1e Fellowship expansions: you get the playbook, plus some new Threats, usually a new Set Piece or Destiny. It's fun.

I have been thinking about the leveling up mechanics in Dungeon World recently and I think I may have made an assumption regarding how good stats can get in game. But can someone just double check this for me in case I've just lost it entirely or am making some kind of obvious mistake, but assuming you start with a character at level 1 with the default array of 16/15/13/12/9/8, by the time you get to level 10 you can at most have gotten two stats to 18 and one to 17, if I am correct? For some reason I was under the impression it was 3 18s.

This version only has the class itself, with no additional features. You too can join the 30 people who have purchased it for 0 dollars and 0 cents so far.

The playbook launched at 4.25 but the price has since been lowered to 3 dollars, which is a discount of over 25%!!! You can get it here.

I am terminally uncreative when it comes to such things. With that in mind does anyone have any good resources of magic items for Dungeon World? I mean not that this means I can't make them up as I go along but I like to be able to have some on hand for just in case.

I'm looking into DW (just got the rulebook yesterday), and am really liking what I'm seeing especially coming from 5e DnD. The hard part will be convincing some of my more crunch-minded players to give it a shot. One of my players would be totally on board, and I've been thinking of running a small DW thing just with him so we can familiarize ourselves with it. Does DW work at all in a 1 player-1 GM situation? It seems like we'd have to kind of ignore the Bonds system, or maybe have them with some important/recurring NPCs/henchmen?
