(in your example, what if the dark naga had several charmed operatives all out seeking blood, each unknown to the others, with all the reward going to whoever got back with some first?)Fronts to me are weather phenomena; in which context I know much, much more about them than in this one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />OK, so I will.  From all I can tell, both your system and style are very player-centric...far more so than I'd prefer even if I was a player.  And you're not alone - player-centricism (now there's a new word for ya!) has been more and more of a thing in many RPGs as time has gone on.And here lies my disconnect.  The DM can't put them there as potential adventures; the players can't put them there as potential adventures (true if the DM is <rightfully> given purview over the content of the game world), and my problem is I can't think of anyone else who can.The only way I could do that would be to haul you to Victoria and sit you down here for a few sessions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Lan-"if someone could tell me how to get occluded fronts into Dungeon World I might understand it better"-efan</blockquote>
