I want to see the visions of death move used on other players. “Wait don’t open that footlocker! I saw you die!” that could be really funny or infuriating. I want to see the bond “Bob keeps predicting my death, but I don’t believe in his prophecies”

I’m guessing you can’t use the hold with the Last Breath move, lest you end up with LastBreath-ception.
Another great episode from you two. Today I appreciated what you do in the podcast and what you don’t do. Specifically, you don’t add a bunch of sound effects and clever cuts.

River WilliamsonThat’s a good point. Well, the move is a work-in-progress, haha.

I’d totally let my players do it. If they failed the roll, I’d have amazing fun with them. Maybe offering them two, potentially conflicting, geas. Maybe turning them into undead, animated Death’s will. Maybe just kicking them back out into the world like nothing happened and giving them a very odd bond at the start of the next session.

Really enjoying this new podcast. Taking notes on all these tips for when I (hopefully soon) start a regular Dungeon World game here in Akron, OH.

The changes to perilous journey are excellent, and good for making a tedious part of the game more exciting. You can even airdrop in flavor scenes, like coming upon a forgotten cottage, or the bones of a family that got lost. Little things to pepper in an invitation to the players to make their own additions.

Excellent! I was thinking while listening this time, do you guys worry that someone might do a hacky Spot Lore podcast? A Dungeon mag to your Dragon mag, as it were. 🙂

Hey. I love love love the tweaks to undertake a perilous journey. One minor change I would suggest, when asking the trailblazer “what landmark you are looking for to guide you,” add “or that you want to avoid at all costs.” Just opens up a few more opportunities for the fiction.
