Downloading and reading that guide was one of the first things I did after buying the game. It really is very helpful. Still though, I was left with questions. The Something Awful forums are full of good info as well, as is the google+ boards. Trouble is, it can be hard to find the specific...

I hope so too. I plan to play DW more with my secondary group and possibly try a campaign length game with my primary. I've been watching lots of game play videos on youtube which is a big help. I still wish the devs had embraced the mechanics of the game that do exist and had made it more...

So I guess it just depends on how you define, "animal". That's a tough one. Just because a creature doesn't exist in our reality doesn't mean it's not an animal indigenous to another planet/plane/reality. Would you just draw the line at Earth creatures and be done with it? That would be fine...

I would call the game, "explanation light." In general, action resolution is very simple. Anything else is pretty much adjudicated by the GM on the fly. But there are many nuances to the game that, I feel, are given less than adequate explanation. Hence threads like these that litter the...

Actually, no. According to everything else I've seen, when a Druid uses a monster move, she does not roll. It just happens. The side bar on page 105 seems to imply this as well. But you're saying that if a player uses a monster move, she does roll? That is literally at odds with everything...

Session 16 We begin the session with Edran about to make his wish. In fine Edran fashion, Chris makes a list of possible wishes and then rolls randomly to see which one he selects. And his wish is: To be free of all debts! Thoradin, to whom Edran owes a large sum of gold, is stunned, not...

Please don't apologize for all the replies. I'm getting something from every one of them. Thanks for taking the time!

So again (and forgive me for being dense, but I really want to get this game), are the bold font texts generally considered moves? This goes back to my clerical Divine Guidance question. It's listed under the cleric's basic moves, so I assume it is a move, but does a move only require a roll if...

Thanks, this helps quite a bit. And I think I was misreading Elemental Mastery. Can you give any examples of "paying nature's price?" I'm having a tough time envisioning what that looks like.

So you're suggesting a roll for the monster move, but I was given to believe that if a druid spends hold to pull off a MM it just happens. No roll.

Actually one of the things that drew me to DW was the lack of initiative. It takes a bit of getting used to, but in the one session we played I got comfortable with it pretty fast. My players are not so sure, but they did agree that combat was much, MUCH faster than D&D, and there was very...

I have several questions but I'll start with what has got me most on the ropes. Monster Moves. And related, how they relate to Druids. I understand that the monster moves are left intentionally vague, but some of them have me scratching my head as to what they even are, let alone how to...

Very cool! I'm headed to work right now but I'll not down my questions over the course of the night and post them when I get home. Thanks for the reply!

After stumbling across a few references to Dungeon World on the web I was intrigued and decided to give it a shot. The book is cheap, and there's not a lot of other stuff needed, so why not? After reading the book I was convinced that it had been an excellent purchase. So far I've got one DW...

] Currently four Almost exclusively. One other player DMs from time to time to give me a break, but not often. . Our main game is a sausage party. All dudes. We do have some off nights with other players that includes my girlfriend, but my main weekly group is all male. All Amazon...

Post game Notes: An interesting night, and one that I've been waiting for for months. They finally reached the Temple of the Elder Eye. Those of you familiar with the module might see tht I chose to skip the bit about the drow cleric's tentacle staffs needing to be present to summon the...

Session 15 We start the session with the crew gathered outside the door behind which Chief Nosnra is hiding. The hill giant hurls taunts at the party and for a moment they seem at a loss until Edran rummages through his bag of holding and finds his Marvelous Pigments. He immediately sets...

Session 14 We start the session mid-battle against the fire giant matron, her servants and her wards. We had to retcon a bit when it was discovered that Gerit could not have cast Suggestion against Krote as he was out of range. He instead switched his target to Edran, suggesting that it was of...

I purchased Of Dreams and Magic last year and was very excited by it's be-anything every-genre concept, but I found myself re-reading paragraph after paragraph over and over again until the words just became meaningless marks on paper. I even watched a few demo vids but it just never clicked...
