I feel the urge to spend some money at DriveThru. I’m going to pick-up Twenty-Four Game Poems (recommended by Stephen Crawford ). I may pick-up something from Spes Magna to be supportive (but adapt to Dungeon World, obviously).
Any other suggestions?
Maybe Tenra Bansho Zero, although it looks a bit much to handle in PDF form.

get Ambition & Avarice, it’s OSR, but a nice twisted take on it where everyone is neutral greedy in alignment, might give you some useful stuff for your DW Gulltown setting

Kerry Harrison I’ve been reading about that one here and there. OSR stuff is extremely easy to convert to DW, so I’ll def give it a look!

I’m also thinking about Carcosa, just because that’s the mood I’m in lately.

Oh, other good one, Vornheim.

I’ve been thinking about picking up Ribbon Drive. Sounds really interesting. It’s an RPG + mixtape mashup.

Daniel Lewis Yes, yes, yes! That has been on my shortlist for ages. It was unavailable for a long time, and I had forgotten about it.

Jason Cordova Indie Press Revolution has the physical copy as well. I think it comes in a jewel case with the rules as the liner notes. Sounds really gimmicky in the best sort of way.

Daniel Lewis Reminds me of Zombie Cinema, which comes in a VHS tape case.

Kerry Harrison Vornheim is looking pretty good. I love running urban adventures, but those require so many little details. Hmm…

Jason Cordova The entire main thrust of Vornheim is to help you make up little details on the fly. Some of the stuff on the random tables might sound off-flavor for your world but I’ve found incorporating it injects a nice element of something new that spurs creativity. There’s very little “these are details about Vornheim, the city that Zak made up” but lots of tables and methods than can be used for a city anywhere. If you want a look at what’s it’s like, Mike Evans has done a Firefly hack and a Shadowrun hack of it.
Obviously I’m super positive on it 🙂 Also, I’ve come around to really liking everything from LotFP, even if I’m too chicken to run any of them as-is 🙂

Jeff Russell Yeah, I was complaining about little details in urban settings as a justification for picking Vornheim up, which appears to help with that, as far as I can tell.

Jason Cordova Ah, I misread! I thought it was “urban adventures have too many details, Vornheim is urban, therefore I don’t want it”.
But yes, it does help with that. The random shopkeeper list alone got my group half a session of play.

As a follow-up, I ended up purchasing Ribbon Drive. I think I want physical copies of Tenra Bansho Zero and Vornheim. Unfortunately, I can’t find a physical copy of Vornheim. IPR is out and I’m not sure where else to look.

Jason Cordova So I have to ask: If you’re not into anime, why the interest in Tenra Bansho Zero? Isn’t it pretty much full on anime?

Jason Cordova Yeah, I bought Votnheim as a PDF before I understood its value as a physical object, and by the time I wanted to track one down, they were much harder to come by. Have you tried some of the FLGSs that are small publisher friendly and have a web presence? I found “The Dungeon Alphabet” at the Compleat Strategist when it was out of print for a bit, and I know the Good Knight was pretty LotFP friendly for Free RPG Day. Hope that helps.

Daniel Lewis You know, I’m not really into anime at all. But I heard a review of the game, it sounds fun, and apparently a love for anime isn’t necessary (although I’m sure it enriches the experience).
And, I’m not opposed to anime or anything – it’s more just a matter of priorities. I have just never had enough time to dedicate to getting into it. I mean, I love Miyazaki films, and when I was younger I was into Ranma 1/2 and a few other series, but it never really carried over into my adult life.

Jeff Russell Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into that.
