We welcomed Yoshi Creelman’s Fae and this session was soooo good.

I thought our ‘homework’ (we wrote a few things in between sessions about what our characters wanted) was used to fantastic effect by J.D. Lichauco 

I mean, it’s basically a love letter to the MC: “you should probably burn these things down!” 😉

For me, the final big scene where my Infernal brings someone to the Dark Power was so powerful. I felt terrible! Such a dramatic high

Episode 2 of Qelong (World of Dungeons) was great fun.

Episode 2 of Qelong (World of Dungeons) was great fun. Four heroes set out upriver, only two returned from their successful mission. But don’t worry, the other two are only probably-dead, which is the same as maybe-alive. They fought some naga-kin, impressed a shaman, tangled with the gaja-simha (AKA the “elephant-lion-thing”) and undid a magical poisoning.

Overall, a very good session. A few things didn’t really work but were still OK, and there was some excellent reincorporation and character portrayal business by my far-flung (NZ and Moscow) players. I may do a post later of the video with “GM commentary” — not because I think I’m a great GM* but because some interesting things happened that would be worth another look.

My main regret is that I didn’t get a chance to unleash the naga (pictured)… this time.

*Yeah, I do.

What a fun session we had today.

Lonnie Spangler  You were missed. Sorry your computer revolted. I had the best barbarian question for you…

Just singing the player’s praises and also reminding the community that the campaign is open for anyone to join or leave on any of the given dates on the calendar. Next Session is… September 10th! Still one spot left ATM…

Looking it over, seems like if you wanted to run an anime/final fantasy style campaign, this would be a good candidate. I’m not a fan of the multi-playbook style, but I can see what it’s going for.

Thanks to SomethingAwful Poster Nifara, who apparently created this as part of a birthday gift to a friend!

I am planning my Sci-Fantasy campaign of DW for my local group and had an idea to give everyone a ship role move at the start to signify their role aboard the party’s ship. Here are the ones I have so far (Ignore the mentions of custom moves). I was wondering if you all had any other suggestions on roles that would be on a space ship.

Captain

Take Command – When your ship comes under attack, Roll+CHA; 10+ crew gets +1 forward, 7-9 the same, but you hesitate and the enemy makes a move before you get your commands out.

Pilot

Leaf on the Wind – When you Defy Danger while piloting a ship, on a 12+ you completely transcend the danger in some way, GM tells you how.

Mechanic

Mr. Fix-It – When you Jury Rig something, on a 12+ the repair will hold as if it had been repaired, but take -1 ongoing to Jury Rig until your can perform Maintenance.

Gunner

Bullseye – When you Fire At Will on a 12+ the target loses something. One of their systems shuts down, they lose an engine, a weapon, control, etc.

Medic

Angel of Mercy – Your allies treat you as a skilled healer for the purposes of the Recover move when they rest in your Medbay.

Cook

Best Food in the Galaxy – When you Make Camp and are in charge of the food, your allies gain an additional 1d6 hit points.

Navigator

Steady the Course – When you Set a Course, you always succeed on the Starblazer role as if you rolled 10+.

Security

Not On My Ship – When you Defend an area of your ship, on a 12+ you gain an advantage over your enemies. The GM will tell you what.

Scientist

When you study something closely in your lab, take +1 to Spout Lore about it.

Communications Expert

When your ship is docked at a spaceport or some other bastion of civilization, you can tell the GM about a useful NPC that can be found there.
