Right, but I like there to be some time spent on play without stakes.  Probably not every sessions as that would be boring, but between adventures/missions. Maybe check in on what some NPCs were doing while the PCs were gone.Considering the fantasy trappings, I think Dungeon World would be a bad game to start.  I'd be comparing it to other fantasy games in the back of my head the whole time.  Perhaps as I've never played a horror TTRPG, a Story Now version of that, maybe as a one shot, would be preferred as toe dip in.</blockquote>
