[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 9438428, member: 85870"] This is sort of a head scratcher, to be honest. [LIST] [*]It's now 10+ years since initial release. [*]It's been saddled with a massive black eye from one of its original creators. [*]There's now a long line of successors / add ons in the same creative space ([I]Stonetop[/I], [I]Perilous Wilds[/I], [I]Freebooters on the Frontier[/I], [I]Fellowship[/I]) that are near-universally agreed as improvements to the original. [*][I]Blades in the Dark [/I]/ [I]Forged in the Dark[/I] didn't even exist when [I]DW [/I]was first published. [*]It's hardly a stretch to say that [I]Ironsworn[/I] is treading pretty closely to the same ground as well . . . and [I]Ironsworn[/I] + expansions has a larger following than [I]DW[/I] at this point. [*][I]Daggerheart[/I] is coming, and coming soon . . . and lives in the same creative space . . . and has infinitely more mindshare, audience, and potential backing. [/LIST] True, [I]DW [/I]was a Golden Ennie winning product, with a decent amount of sales . . . but does it really have enough brand equity now to warrant a second edition? Like, I'm a big fan of PbtA / FitD style gaming in general, and fantasy PbtA in particular, and the statement of "[I]Dungeon World 2.0[/I] is on the way!" does absolutely nothing for me. [/QUOTE]
