Have you played DUNGEON WORLD ?

By Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel

Dungeon World is a high fantasy dungeon crawler and adventure explorer, made using the Powered By The Apocalypse system.

Combining high-action dungeon crawling with cutting-edge rules, Dungeon World is a roleplaying game of fantasy adventure. You and your friends will explore a land of magic and danger in the roles of adventurers searching for fame, gold, and glory. Dungeon World's rules are easy to learn and always drive the action forward in unexpected ways. A missed roll is never a dead end-failure introduces new complexities and complications. Life as an adventurer is hard and dangerous but it's never boring!

Poll Runner note : Yes I know about A.K. But I chose to put out this poll now because Luke Crane from Burning Wheel has acquired the game's rights and is preparing a second edition.

This is a higher tech setting and the party is stopped for Airship repairs.

Druid Player: I guess I'll check what she's watching before I mess with the TV. What's on?

GM: Okay so it's an anime about cows that turn into magical girls to fight bad guys. It's called Sailor Moo.

Druid Player: Alright, screw my plans. My character sits down and takes notes.

GM:.....notes on what exactly?

Druid: "Wow these are such cool druids, I wonder if I can learn their techniques."

GM: Tell you what, if you ever transform into a cow if you roll perfect on a d100 I will let you be a magical girl cow.

Just got reminded of my homebrew dungeon world setting I never got around to running where the bit was that the whole world was a cosmically massive labyrinthine super structure built by god to imprison the cosmology's satan figure, a literal Dungeon World, and all the monsters and magic and rpg shit were like emanations from the imprisoned satan guy and the shit keeping him locked down.

Any way i think dwarves in this setting would be cosmically radical prison abolitionists who dig cause they're trying to free the devil from hell

Dungeonhack

So this is what I have been working on lately. I know some may roll your eyes at this, but here it goes: Dungeonhack is a homage to the tabletop games that ignited my passion for roleplaying. It cleverly fuses the story-driven and player-centric approach of PbtA games with the familiar and reliable framework of d20 fantasy games (D&D). As I delve into crafting the second edition of Chimera, I felt compelled to revisit Dungeonhack and share it with a wider audience, hoping to inspire more gamers that like crunchy systems to try PbtA games. If you're interested in hearing more, just let me know, and I'll be happy to share additional details about the process.

Cannonfodder!

Art of my character for a Dungeon World game!

Art by the amazing and talented @the-art-block !!!

Cannonfodder is a "Kobold" set out into the world to achieve his goal of "self-rediscovery" alongside the two companions he's convinced he can grant a wish for. Harnessing his inner flame he can reveal secrets in the ashes, or create a wave of burning devastation. It's a balancing act of soothing his pride and keeping his, not as okay with murder, allies on his side.

Even though one of their members is down, the group decides to advance into the catacombs, hoping to find the passage to the basement of the Water Cathedral.

say, i heard you reblog a post about role playing games. do you happen to know of any ones that i, a beginner, could feasibly get into in this day and age? i tried DnD but a combination of not having anybody to play with (whether irl or online) and a dissatisfaction with low level boringness kind of made it fizzle out for me

oh hey an ask from 3 months ago that I didn't even see. hi.

ANYWAY. First things first, i cannot recommend @theresattrpgforthat enough. Ain't nobody better at recommending rpgs than that blog right there. Now, on to my thoughts.

If you want a DnD-like rpg, Pathfinder 2nd Edition is gonna be my first recommendation. It's harder to find games for on account of being significantly less popular than dnd5e but it's probably the 2nd most popular game. It's also completely free, with everything being hosted on https://2e.aonprd.com/. It's got everything except adventures, those ya gotta buy. For the next 10 days, there's a humble bundle that includes PDFs of lots of the pre-remaster legacy books, and includes a couple adventures, including a whole adventure path going from level 1 to 20. As a whole, the game is different to dnd but it's recognizable. Big fan myself, and paizo isn't a bunch of pricks. The setting is also super gay. There's a potion of trans your gender, and one of the main religions in the world is the worship of 3 gods in lesbian polycule.

Ironsworn: probably my favorite RPG, period. (also has a space version, that works the same way). It is narrative focused, and designed for solo play or in groups with no GM. Works just as well by yourself, as a duo, in a small group, or in a traditional way with a few players and a GM. It's structured around it's vow system. Your character makes a vow, you decide how difficult that vow should be to accomplish, and as you do things that advance it, you mark progress. Eventually, you make a roll to try and fulfill the vow, with the difficulty determined by how much progress you've made. If you fail that roll, it's bad. Cool thing is that just about everything works that way. Undertaking a journey, delving a dungeon, fighting a dude, it's all handled with the same system. It's a game about perseverance and struggle and relationships, both with people and with places. also very fun to play for writing practice. It's mechanics are rooted in it's setting, but there's no reason you couldn't play it in basically any setting. the youtube channel Me, Myself, And Die is, essentially, Critical Role But It's Solo RPGs, and he did a great season where he played Ironsworn, check it out. Also, Basement Fort on youtube did a duo playthrough. I've only seen the first episode but it seems like a fun watch, as well as showing off duo gameplay.

the Witcher RPG: i haven't played this myself or even looked at the books yet, but everything I've heard about this game has me super excited about it. the general consesus seems to be "yo this is wayyyy better than I thought it would be, why aren't more people playing this, what the fuck". If somebody more familiar wants to talk about it, that'd be dope.

gonna ramble about the rest much less, LIGHTNING ROUND OF RECOMMENDATIONS

Dungeon World: same genre as dnd, but much less crunchy gameplay. Much easier to learn.

Kids On Bikes: it's Stranger Things but as a ttrpg.

Call of Cthulhu: get spooky, idiot. The players are investigators unraveling some mystery or another, and trying to keep their sanity in the face of some cosmic bullshit.

Lancer: it's about mechs! closer to anime-style mechs than battletech style, from what I can tell. I've heard good things.

Vampire: The Masquerade: you will NEVER guess what this is about. It's a classic, it's great, it pretty much redefined the way I think vampires should work. The new version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse is coming soon, and I'm real hyped for that, too.

Shadow Of The Demon Lord: my understanding is that this game is basically "DnD 5e, but good".

"What people forget, rock remembers."

I've been long overdue some Zab art.

Zab is a cave (prehistoric) druid who communes best with fungi, earth, and fossils. His favourite form is a cave bear, though he is also fond of transforming into a bat. He enjoys teasing his younger brother, telling bad jokes, and smoking stinkweed, the latter of which is most certainly not a coping mechanism for deep-seated trauma.

He is partially blind and utilises his enhanced hearing to orient himself.

Not pictured here, but he has a cast fossil of mycelium across his back.

Any Drawfee fans looking for a new actual play podcast should try Spout Lore! Its a wacky, thrilling, silly, touching, awe-inspiring, piss-joke-making, helluva good time. Even if you aren't a fan of Drawfee already, you should pick up spout lore if you enjoy listening to a group of friends (mostly professional comedians) having a goofy good time and world-building some lore for laughs that ends up having very serious implications down the line.

So the story goes… A loving wife, happy with her marriage. A bitter husband, who began to fall for another. His betrayal was so unexpected, so horrible, that her anguished heart left behind a black stain upon the world as the poison took her.  The Wraith of Point Sorrow, a being of pure rage and hatred, with no goal save to spread suffering without thought or direction. With a single, furious wail, she struck the entire town dead. To this day, Point Sorrow lies abandoned, the vengeful horror still casting her baleful shadow across the ruins… …Though I don’t really take stock in such tales.

I threw this together in preparation for the second major boss of my tabletop campaign! She's basically a banshee, but I'm trying to establish my own world-building and lore regarding how the setting I've created works, so she's not a ghost, but just an echo of the person left after they pass on. The players had a hell of a fight with her though, it's really fun finally capitalizing on foreshadowing.

Winter in Hieron: Spotify Playlist

I dont know if its any use, if it has been done, but since on spotify everything is all on one feed, getting to winter is a bit annoying, as im relistening to it, so I figured id separate out the episodes in one playlist.

Thus im sharing it with the class for anyone who wants.
