Whoah! The next two stretch goals for DFaGE are being written by Kate Bullock and Richard Rogers! That is fucking awesome! Kate’s opens at $4500 CAD (nearly there!) and Rich’s opens at $5,000 CAD. Those are on top of mine and Thomas Novosel’s, which unlocked earlier this week.

Hey Ma, look: I’m a stretch goal!

I’m pleased to announce I’ll be writing the first stretch goal for Dust, Fog & Glowing Embers. When Slade Stolar hits his target ($3500 CAD), I’ll put together A Walking Tour of Stome, Vol. 1, which includes the following adventure locations:

Hestyr’s Mill. This small village in the Fens, and the farms surrounding it, used to provide the city with much of its grain. But then the work was turned over to the machines, iron devil-hulks heaving with wheels and belts and blades, and the people of Hestyr’s Mill were left with naught but their petty grievances to occupy their days. No one has heard from the village in years.

The Ruby Palace Exhibit. An exhibition of international renown, a veritable maze of wonders! See! The tarot card collection of the Empress of Bazhir! See! The Yak Men of the North and their new method for the reading of entrails! See! Three hitherto undiscovered colors of ectoplasm! Around every corner is something new to titillate, educate, and delight!

The Albion Pettigrew School for Boys and Snakes. One of the most prestigious boarding schools in the city, and a highly regarded institution for the study of vipers, snakes and serpents. Boys at the Pettigrew school receive a world-class education in discipline, etiquette, and the various serpentine mysteries, including the reading of scales and the translation of hisses. It is no mistake the city’s very best snake handlers are usually accompanied by rapturous cheers of “You can always tell a Pettigrew man!”

The Panoptica. This small neighborhood is filled with people whose humours are…somewhat out of balance. Less charitable citizens say the residents of the Panoptica are hopelessly mad, but this rather reductive view disregards the opportunity for serious scientific inquiry. What secrets can be learned from their wailing and raving? Are there mysteries to be unlocked from observing their bizarre, elliptical behavior? What can we learn from the fact they have taken to trading their own teeth as currency?

Let’s make this happen!

The Legacy Weapon is released into the world! I got a chance to playtest this with Phil Vecchione and Senda Linaugh at Dreamation 2017, and if you guys had been there, you would know how utterly delightful I think it is. Seriously, I had a huge grin on my face the whole time. I talked about it on the last episode of Discern Realities (Episode 41), but here’s the short version: it’s a supplement for Dungeon World that facilitates play between the GM and one player, and it does so in a really fun, elegant way.

To unpack it a little, you create a character as normal, but then follow a specific procedure to create the legacy weapon, which the character has just acquired. The legacy weapon has a history of its own, and its previous wielders give it certain powers and characteristics. As you play out the adventure, you don’t just learn the character’s story, but also the stories of the previous wielders of the weapon. It is very, very cool, and I can’t recommend it enough (and it even comes with a sample adventure!)

Here’s the Drivethru link. It’s a fucking steal at $2.95. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/207958/The-Legacy-Weapon–A-Dungeon-World-Artifact-and-One-Shot?
