dungeon world isn't even the worst apocalypse world hack


they really aren't. they really, really aren't

for all of the bad design of 5e, it's definitely trying to create a more cohesive combat system than dungeon world, which is far more off-the-cuff than 5e

again, 5e likes to pretend that it's a storygame that can compete with the best of 'em, but the majority of its core systems are focused on and relate to combat and dungeon crawling

yeah im not arguing they're any good, just that "codified combat mechanics" are a core part of the D&D Feel despite all of the grog anecdotes about the time they swung off a chandelier onto a troll's back or w/e

dungeon world is all about the dungeon crawl and the dndesque fantasy adventures, though. it's using different mechanics (and not that different in the cases of hack and slash and volley) to the same ends as any given dnd edition

d&d occasionally tries to masquerade as a storygame but it's straight up a combat simulation with roleplaying elements

D&D has become a D&D simulator; it is incredibly dumb and i have a lot of fun playing it :)

i never played dungeon world but it sounds like a less D&D version of D&D?

Eclipse Phase is pro-tier and i wish i could play more of it and any game i run from now on will either be Eclipse Phase or pretend to be some other game but is actually just Eclipse Phase in a simulspace

You're running eclipse phase? Could the legends be true? The man said to run games previously thought to be impossible... could he be real?

Actually i would say that Dungeon world is a D&D simulator as it tries to simulate the feel of D&D without all the lovely rules

to me a big part of D&D is that it has lovely rules so you can laugh at them / ignore them :shrug:
