Perhaps player needs to be given a physical die or token to represent it.Once one sees the GM is another player at the table - one with different moves and remit - then for me it seems very likely that it can be achieved. As I prefer traditional DMing, and also like many structural aspects of DW, I've been thinking out how to revise the artifact (e.g. , the moves) and the principles, to suit my ends. Why do you put GM centrality as a blocker to the process?Is your argument here that - regardless of whether it can or can't be done - WotC won't do it? Because that is different from what I am arguing. I don't really know what WotC will do, only what I think they could do. Possibly it will fall to someone else to do it. I'm intrigued by the problem of how to do it. I don't believe armies of good game designers have tried to achieve it, so it remains moot to me whether they could.Setting aside the question of WotC's moral or commercial commitments, and what game designers may have attempted or not attempted, do you have any thoughts how one might marry D&D combat, GM centricity, probably neo-vancian magic, with a skills system that learns from AW? Some questions on my mind<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">How to marry the tempo? I'm currently thinking of 10-min scenes as the next frame up from the circa-1-min combat. I'm assuming (but very much undecided) that there will need to be some sort of action economy in each frame. A hard problem to solve is preventing that from clashing with conversation-driven eventing. Perhaps a solution will be in ongoing resources (DW generates  some dynamically - hold, 1 forward) that refresh on another cadence or with commitment to some interregnum.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">We're still going to want to jump and climb in combat frame as well as out of it, so how to clearly divide combat-frame use from scene-frame use?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Is it right to say explore and social will be handled in the one process-space? (So we have a combat process-space, explore+social process-space, maybe a spells process-space, character class process-space... any others? Some classes could seem to have their own process-sub-spaces.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">What rules and tempo-constructs would be most powerful to lift out of individual process-spaces, and lie across them?</li> </ol>That sort of thing. What questions would be on your mind?</blockquote>
