I know y’all play a lot of Dungeon World, generally in short runs, so this might be of interest and use to the Gauntlet community.
It’s a revision of the DW basic moves, special moves, playbooks, and equipment optimized for one-shot or short-term play, plus revisions made to personal taste. Aside from obvious stuff like dropping “big” numbers on stats and just having modifiers, the significant changes include:
● Advantage/disadvantage instead of most +1/-1 mods
● Expendable gear boiled down into a single resource
● A total rewrite of the Parley, Aid, and Interfere moves
● Some pretty sweet (IMHO) backgrounds instead of races for each class
Please use, share, ask questions, and provide feedback freely.
Also, let me know if there’s interest in a version of that has Flags embedded. It’d be a pretty easy variation to include.

Everyone else was doing it, so I thought I would, too.
But seriously: inspired by Yochai Gal’s One Shot World and Peter J’s DW Quick Sheets, I’ve put together my own set of playbooks and rules tweaks that:
● Are optimized for one-shots and short-run play
● Introduce a lot of tweaks and changes that I’ve been using in Stonetop and my own home games of DW
If I was going to be in charge of DW2.0, it’d probably look an awful lot like this.
I’m all sorts of interested in any feedback y’all might have, and more than happy to answer questions.
(Oh, also: it’s probably riddled with typos and little gotchas that I missed, so if you see something, please say something!)
