Interesting. I’m really surprised how unforgiving just a -1 is.

Yeah, but I really love the hidden depth of this die mechanic when tied to the XP for failure and hard/soft move response on the GM’s part

it’s kinda cool that as you get better at something you tend to fail less and get less XP

Which in turn forces you to get XP via the roleplaying ways: Bonds, Alignment, and storytelling. You’re right–it’s kind of brilliant.

Funny, I was doing nearly the same thing earlier today, but was too lazy to take it quite this far. Wanted to see how likely I was to get a 10+ when casting a cleric spell with no wisdom bonus. Not that likely as it turns out. I anticipate many botched spells in my future.

On a separate note, I just thought of a cool way in which you could hack DW/AWE for Star Trek. It would be two sets of moves: one set dedicated to shipboard moves, and another for when you are on a planet.

Daniel Lewis Are you taking the cleric spells move for your advancement?

Jason Cordova That’s the plan. Cleric spells seem like they could be fun and the way the move is built definitely encourages you to take it early or skip it altogether.

Daniel Lewis I say go for it. You’ll have to name a god. Or you could sacrifice something at the rat shrine and have Reekeesik be your deity, haha. Actually, I made a custom move for that shrine which some of the more morally ambiguous characters might want to take advantage of.

Jason Cordova Heh, I somehow don’t think Thaddeus and Reekeesik would get along that well.
