[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6507181, member: 6696971"] I've GMed a ton of DW in real life and as PBP so I can answer any questions you have about the system (via PM or here or wherever). DW and 4e are my go-to games for D&D (each filling their own specific niche). Neither system is compatible with 5e so I would very much recommend against trying to do a DW and 5e mash-up. Metaplot-intensive, setting-intensive, heavy-handed GMing (especially GM force, fiat, and the requirement of GM adjudication of complex rules interactions) as primary facilitators of play is actually anathema to DW. If your players are expecting, or want, that, then you shouldn't bother yourself with it. But if they aren't looking for any of those things, and are looking for something else, then just give the system a spin on its own with your group and see how you guys like it. Here is a [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?365637-The-Fey-the-Far-and-the-Ugly-Space-In-Between"]DW PBP[/URL] I'm running if you want to read it through and get a feel for the sort of fiction that it is supposed to produce and how the play procedures and overall agenda engender that sort of emergent play.
