Tatum Girlparts posted:Man I had no idea this game was so great. I was pitched this game as 'oh this is kinda like old D&D but updated' and my reaction was 'so either it's a retroclone in which case no thanks, or I could just play D&D 4th edition'. I picked it up on a whim on Drivethru and I know my group is gonna just love this, this is the most storyful of storygames I've seen in a while and that rules. Whoever told you that is the worst at selling games to people. Everyone should see the game before making judgements. Not one person I've actually showed it to has disliked it. Everything just works together really well.

Elmo Oxygen posted:It's been about a month since I wrote and posted The Medic, has anyone here used it or seen it in play? My own DW game has been on hiatus while we play Apocalypse World, so I haven't gotten any first-hand accounts of how the class is working out. If anyone has any notes for me, I'd appreciate it! I haven't yet, but I plan to next PbP DW game that pops up. I'll tell any gripes I might have then.

gnome7 posted:This looks particularly good! The only thing I'm noticing is that the human move seems a bit too oddly specific. I don't have a clue what else to suggest in its place, but everything else is looking good to me. I don't think the problem with it is that it is too specific. I have too other problems. First, it feels like it might be nudging into Initiate's thing. Second, it implies that Elves and Dwarves don't have masters. Just my opinion.

Shamblercow posted:I've been working on a Shadow Dancer class and it's ready for a second opinion. All comments, critiques, and thoughts are welcome, as always. -3 damage seems a bit extreme to me. Healing Potions are weightless. I'm not sure why I'd use Moment of Opportunity. If I'm trying to hack and slash, chances are I'd be happy about a 10+. djw175 fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Apr 10, 2013 |

madadric posted:Yes! The move should definitely work that way. I'll change it to "you may choose up to x" Um just some clarification here. Are you weak to all the things there and you only get boon for ones you choose or are you just weak to the ones you choose? The stolen child one move makes me think all Fae are weak to iron even if they don't choose it as a weakness.

So I was looking at the basic moves and remembered how terrible Bolster is. Would it break anything to make it give 1 Hold for hours, 2 Hold for days, and 3 Hold for a week? It's still not that great, but it could at least get some use then.

Overemotional Robot posted:I have a question about The Sky Dancer. A couple of the moves say "On a 7+" and then say "On a 7-9." Am I just being dumb or is this the same thing? Like, it'll say "on a 7+ deal your damage, On a 7-9 blah blah," so couldn't it just say "On a 7-9 you deal your damage but..."? Also I am noticing there are no 10+ options for some of these... On a 10+, only the 7+ option happens. On a 7-9, the 7-9 option also happens. It's a way to stop repetition.

Elmo Oxygen posted:One of my player characters died and is considering rolling a Mage, which has always been a fun class at the table. I mean wasn't the whole point behind the Mage that it doesn't use Vancian Magic? And if the player rolls really poorly they have a total of three spells to use. That's a lot of their utility stripped out.

Lemon Curdistan posted:The Lantern also has a fairly good set of non-violent options. Unfortunately that one's not an option. I already grabbed that one in the game. It holds surprisingly well in different settings with just a little change. Instead of part of Sola it's a fragment of the universe. On topic, Ryuujin, I think that the Medic would suit your character the best.

Huckabee Sting posted:I changed my Samurai a lot. I really valued your guys input the last time around(especially Lemon Curdistan. Thanks for the big write up). I still need to work on my 6-10 moves; I don't even have enough of them. But I feel I have made a lot of progress. So what's a good stat spread for this guy? I think I'd need Con for Stances and extra damage, Str for H&S, and Dex for other bonuses. Unless you're making their weapon precise, in which case, I've got no problem with the spread although I think Wis might work better than Con for stances.

Huckabee Sting posted:Here is the third attempt at my samurai. Third times the charm right? I allowed comments on the google doc if it's easier that way. If you feel that this is a lost cause just let me know and I'll stop posting about it. It still has the problem where the Death Move is a trigger that isn't just "When you die". When the Samurai dies but not to seppuku nothing much happens, while with any other class it's a huge event.

EscortMission posted:I decided to update and sharpen up my old Beguiler class from a few months ago. Some basic rewording, some switching things around, and a new death move because death moves are the new sweet thing to add to your class. Out of curiosity, how would you handle a shapeshifter with Cloak for Two? It doesn't seem to make sense in fiction to me.

Blasphemeral posted:No. Either no one needs to breathe on their world, or they can respirate whatever the most common liquid on their planet is. It's never even mentioned. At one point, a main character is thrown into the sea in a storm, and wakes up floating face-down in a bay the next day. They're surprisingly consistant about it for it being a relatively minor detail to the game's overall plot. Actually, they do have to hold their breath. Riku, Tidas, Wakka, and other Blitzball players can just hold it for a long rear end time. Remember, there's a part where only the three of them can fight a boss because it's underwater.

Xelkelvos posted:Not quite. The odds on that on not uniform. Mixing die to generate uniform values is multiplicative rather than additive. You'd be better served with a d12 and a d2 with rerolls on 12 of the d12. Doesn't that end up with values of 1 and 22 being the lowest? Also how would you get odd numbers over 11?

Chaos Triangle posted:By rerolling 12s, you effectively turn the d12 into a d11; the d2 then determines if you're in the upper or lower range. Janky, but it works. Ah. I was reading it as multiplication. That makes sense now.

I was in the game Covok's talking about and I think my favourite bit of problem solving at least I did was when we came across the level boss for floor 1, who was a wannabe rapper guy with diamond teeth, my dragon mage just reached into his mouth and turned his teeth into gold pieces, leaving him unable to rap and demoralized. And then Slenderman got him.

So out of curiosity, how do people feel about changing playbooks slightly depending on what a player wants. Say someone picks the golem because they want to be a robot and they want to be a floating kind of robot, would it hurt to let them take a general multiclass move to get the skydancer's flying?

I've also got two more playbooks coming soon, The Mechanic, who builds robots and can have more cybernetics/prosthetics/augments and weapon mods than everyone else, and The Agent, who's all about misdirection and espionage. Could you call the Mechanic the Engineer or something like that so it doesn't get confusing with Inverse World's Mechanic?
