I’m sure this is around here somewhere but I’m thinking of running a Dungeon World game and I’m looking for clear…

I’m sure this is around here somewhere but I’m thinking of running a Dungeon World game and I’m looking for clear examples of play. I have listened/watched a few actual play podcasts but it seems like everyone is already an experienced DW player. Any ideas on where I can find some vids for new players and DM? Thanks for the help.

  5. That’s because they don’t need to be experienced in order to feel and play as if they were. Everything tje player needs to know is in their playbook. They say what they’re doing and the GM tells them when they have triggered a move and says to roll.

  7. Discern Realities is the place to go. Each episode talks through a mechanic, a move, a resource, and then actually plays the game. I started DMing with two others: one had never played an RPG before (like me) and the other played D&D. It was rough for a bit, but DR gave me the tools I needed to lead.

    I don’t know of APs that show inexperienced players, but the struggle my group faced was the former D&D player wanted the DM to know all the answers and struggled with the co-creation. The DM (me) struggled to invent the world and to improvise. And the third liked the narrative side but didn’t care for world creation. Their issues would have been easily addressed by a skilled DM, but alas.

    There are some good short vids for Uncharted Worlds to explain pbta mechanics. And the great “Dragonslaying on a Time Table” post is really good about describing what you need to run that first session for newcomers. You might also try some of the first episodes in “Friends at the Table.” I didn’t start with their first season, but they have a good exchange about learning the system in seasons 2 (Mech Noir) and the new season.
