Don’t try to do everything! Pick your favorite stuff and mix it together how you like. Also, make sure you are ok with the custom rules the Anglekite book has and modify them before hand if they don’t quite suit you. How many sessions are you running?

We are running 3-4 sessions a month starting in August; it will go until the story “ends” I guess. I’m already planning to include only a few of the major story tie-ins; I might even have this party go for a dozen sessions or so, then switch to new characters and play from a different perspective? Who knows? I’ve never pulled from a preplanned setting like this in Dungeon World; but I did it a lot in my D&D days.

I mostly did a front per month

That makes sense!

A front per month is aggressive but it really makes things feel dire. If you want I can outline the “corridor” I directed my PCs towards

Pretty good. At first I found it challenging to run a premade module/setting (that was the hardest part for me in D&D as well) but I’ve made it work, though – mostly by spending more time with prep, and giving myself the freedom to drop significant story elements if need-be. For instance, I’m toying with giving Cray Def Un a stronger plot presence, for instance
One thing I thought was cool: in my regular campaigns (where I improv the whole thing) I often send post-session notes, usually in prose form, to all the players. In the end, it becomes a sort of story they can read from start to finish.
With LdoA, I’ve been doing a sort of epistles thing: after session one, I wrote a letter from an NPC’s point of view (the villainous Raskun) about the events of that session. I really liked doing it! She’s a vile one, and tough as nails. Loads of fun.

Sure! Though you’ve got someone like David LaFreniere who has already finished it, and is a far superior GM :).

I thought David finished his campaign, but I must be mistaken

Sorry, that’s what I meant. He’s finished, I doubt I’ll finish it until December at this rate.

How about in a couple weeks, if you feel you’ve got a good handle on the nuances, we can talk. If love to see something like 3 or 4 hard and simple tips for running it.
