So by the way, is Pirate World still a thing? As far as I can tell the Brute has been out a while but I haven't heard much else about it? Though now that I type this I had a look and there was a recent kickstarter post about it I guess.

Does anyone have a good source of DW magic items outside of the core book? If not then we should really collate the ones that presumably have appeared in this thread!

zarathud posted:You can try browsing the DW Tavern with the Magic Items post filter enabled. Thanks! Also to the thread in general: How would you expect Adept hirelings to interact with spellcasting moves that don't rely on leveled effects (unlike the default spellcasting classes), such as gnome's Mage and Priest playbooks, and similar things. For reference: quote:Arcane Assistance—When an adept aids in the casting of a spell of lower level than their skill, the spell’s effects have greater range, duration, or potency.[...]

I would definitely suggest the Slayer playbook from the OP, furthermore maybe gnome7's Cultist and Spellsword playbooks, especially because the latter can have a real simon belmont feel, the possibility of getting a sword-whip and various miscellaneous magics and stuff.

Brony Hunter posted:Starting a new game soon, and one of my players is requesting to play a melee class that uses illusions and trickery and "debuffs" rather than raw martial ability. Anyone got any ideas for playbooks? I'd probably suggest either the Spellsword or the Masked Mage. Although the masked mage isn't quite that fighty, especially with its low damage die. But you could always combine the two, because the Spellsword has a starting move that lets it poach a magic-using move from another playbook, letting you steal the illusion generating move from masked mage!

Recently I have had a thought about a house rule for Dungeon World that I think might be useful. Specifically it is a way to make hordes of monsters less of a slog. It would work like this: If you deal enough damage to kill something, and there is excess damage left over (so say you rolled 10 damage and slew a mighty kobold of 3 hp and 1 armour, meaning that there was an excess of 6 damage), you can apply the remaining damage to another enemy within your weapon's range(s) (or close enough to the slain critter to be reasonable for if you're killing at range), taking armour off again as normal (so if there is another kobold that's close enough you can slay another one with the leftover 6 damage, leaving a further excess of 2) - if that still leaves you with an excess then repeat until you run out of damage or you run out of things that you can reasonable hit. As noted armour applies each time separately, however I'd probably say that Piercing would apply separately each time as well thus in the above scenario if you did this with a Piercing 1 weapon then you'd be able to slay 3 kobolds and wound 1 - rather than slaying 2 and wounding 1 (this also makes Piercing a little bit more useful). So what do you think? Friar John posted:So in my roll20 game I've got a prospective player interested in joining, and he's looking for a wuxia/kung fu style character. Any good sheets that folks know of? Asides from the Initiate another interesting example is The Master.

A simple question that has probably been asked before but I've never seen it come up: If a Wizard takes the Prodigy advanced move ("Choose a spell. You prepare that spell as if it were one level lower."), presumably this would turn a 3rd level spell into a 1st level spell, and a 5th into a 3rd, etc., because I mean depending on how it's read it could turn a 3rd level spell into a mythical 2nd level spell, of which there are none, but I assume "one level lower" would mean down a level and not literally "reduce the number by one and that's the new level"? What do you all think?

rumble in the bunghole posted:It's probably not reducing the number by one. IDK how many spells are using levels as factors in how they work. Basically you can prepare up to your level +1 levels of spells, but the highest level of spell that you can prepare is your level.

Comrade Gorbash posted:So as mentioned before, I was working up a list of good playbooks to pull from for games on the fly. I've explicitly and intentionally made it a large list because the idea is to have a large master pool to then curate further for specific games. Since I know every playbook in the large pool is solid, it makes cutting it down for a specific game much easier. I'd definitely recommend The Psion and The Spellsword. Other than that I'd consider maybe The Namer, The Warlock (I'd provide a link but it's gone and I don't know how long), and The Shaman. Of the Inverse World classes they're mostly good. I mean there's certain considerations to make regarding them, namely that The Captain will make the game be about airships if you have them (or whatever other vehicle if you go the suggested route regarding different settings as noted in Inverse World), The Collector might step on the toes of The Wizard somewhat because it's all about problem solving, The Golem might create an odd dynamic or be a setting element that might not be wanted (depending on how magical or technological the implied setting is etc), also The Survivor can turn fighting otherwise impossible threats (or die trying) into a single roll affair, so its inclusion might be dependent on whether that is a desired ability or not. But I like them all, really. Edit: Actually I just noticed you never included either the Mage or the Wizard in your list so the Collector might be better suited to this than you'd expect (I mean there might be some overlap with the Witch but hey).

Recently I have been pondering how one might implement a sprite- or pixie-like (or something similar to that) character in Dungeon World. How would you go about it? I mean hypothetically one could make a special racial move (akin to the ones in Number Appearing), perhaps with drawbacks like the stronger ones in that book. Or alternatively use (or create) a playbook of your own for this specific purpose. Or alternatively more simply swap out a starting move for the Sky Dancer's Take To The Sky move. But I suppose what I'm asking is what people think is the best option for attempting this feat. Any thoughts?

Speaking of the Barbarian, I assume that for the Smash move that "their head" is a valid choice of something physical that the target has, right? Which would mean that a Barbarian could reliably kill people (or anything that needs their head to live) on a 12+ H&S, correct? I ask this because of the Barbarian being asked about, but also because a player has been doing this and I am wondering what other peoples' thoughts are on this use, if any asides from a Barbarian shouting as they kick down a door and decapitate some hapless peon is perfectly in fiction.

Blasphemeral posted:That's clearly not the intention of the move to provide an instant-kill. You can certainly smash someone's head and cause all sorts of debilities without killing someone. Concussions are a thing. Well it's worded as such: "When you Hack & Slash, on a 12+ deal your damage and choose something physical your target has (a weapon, their position, a limb): they lose it." it already includes a body part as an example, it's called Smash it doesn't literally say "you smash X".

I have another question, this time regarding the Defend move, of the options presented that you can spend Hold on to accomplish, one of them is deal damage equal to your level. Does this damage include all the tags of any (or at least one) weapons that you are wielding in defence of your chosen place/item/person? I mostly ask because would this mean that if you had a weapon with the Piercing 2 tag (or even more amazingly, Ignore Armor tag), would that apply? Similarly, would any bonus damage tags (or any moves that mention dealing additional damage, assuming it's not tied to a particular move like Hack and Slash) apply as well?

By the way, what is everyone's opinions on identifying magic items in Dungeon World? Now here and there I've seen moves that go into that but generally how do various GMs involve magic items being unknown or not? Like do you make it some lengthy experimental thing or just straight up tell the players or what?

I suppose this is a question that likely applies to all PbtA games, but regardless: If you're playing in real time (whether it's by discord or face-to-face or whatever), how do you keep in your mind the possibilities of GM Moves, or the complications that stem from a 7-9 Defy Danger roll (or hypothetically the other moves but I feel that Defy Danger's broadness leaves it more open to possibilities but also meaning it can be harder to come up with a satisfactory result on the spot)? Do you make any preparations as such? Also on a different note but still somewhat DW-related: How do you do dungeons in your games? How much do you leave to the players and how much prompting do you give them regarding the dungeoneering experience and the dungeon's layout/etc. etc.?

If a PC is attempting to fight blind, this falls under Defy Danger, right? And if so what would the stat used be? I'd err on WIS but none of the Defy Danger categories actually cover trying to use perception or similar to accomplish something, the only reason I suggest WIS is because that's what Discern Realities uses.

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.

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.
