FFE: DungeonWorld...ITS OUT!!

[Leopold]

wahoo..this massive dungeon/setting is on the market! I can't watit to get a hold of this..they say its like the ruins to undermountain only worse and allot more plot oriented..big, bold, and in hardback! HEre is a blurb

What is Dungeon World? A prison to some, purgatory to others, it is a seemingly endless labyrinth of dark caverns and dank dungeons cast between Planar realms, home to devils, demons and dark monstrosities. Whether condemned to its depths, or a Planeswalker gone astray, all those

who enter learn one defining fact: Escape is nigh impossible! So, sit back, relax, and stay awhile...'cause you won't be going home anytime soon! Welcome to your d20 campaign nightmare!"



gimme gimme gimme!! PC Killer!!

This is one of those products that sounds real interesting, but I'm waiting for the reviews and opinions of others. I'm not one that buys adventures or settings, I do all that myself. However, if this proves as interesting and good as it sounds I'll pick it up.

I'm waiting for a review, but I'll likely pick it up if I run in to it at a comic shop.

It's a cool concept. It is not, however, a campaign world in and of itself. It's sort of a diversionary setting... but a cool one, and it reminded me a little of Phillip Jose Farmer's "Dungeon" series... except the latter wasn't really a dungeon.

I think in some ways it would have benefitted if they went a little lighter on stats and heavier on relationships and NPC motives in this one. As it stands, the concept sounds a bit like it BEGS for those sorts of details, but the actual content of the module is statted out in a fairly similar fasion to a standard dungeon crawl.

Of course, review forthcoming...

Thanks, Psion. As always I look forward to your review.

WOW! i've had an idea amazingly similar to this floating around in my head for about a year now, i hope they did a good job. It would save me from a lot of work that i'm to lazy to do.

Anyone ever tried to do a DungeonKeeper (computer RTS) type game in which the PCs are the evil architects of a Mega-Dungeon?

I've always thought that could be a fun diversion and perhaps Dungeonworld will give me a chance to do it.

Relationships? NPC Motives? FFE's stuff tends to have that 0th edition feel. Their stuff is the Nobilus publishers/authors' nightmare. Well, not quite, it depends on who the author of a given work is, but they do tend towards the hack & slash stuff.

I just hope they handled the stats better in this than in past products, though their problems were mostly for new monsters.

I think I will wait for Psion's review before buying it, but it sounds really interesting...
