Dungeon World 2 released another version for public playtesting a few days ago: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hp3f8laeI1bf-pRrwD9nXqkRxZAbB_PNWhat do you think of it?I am personally somewhat disappointed. The original playtest was actually trying to do something new with its subsystem for Defiances, its abstracted armor, and its lack of traditional damage and HP. The new version instead brings back Defy Danger (albeit locked into Constitution, despite being a catch-all move), concretely defined armor, and rolled damage and HP. I think that the new version is making too many concessions towards familiarity and D&D-ness.
is there a better resource out there, to learn how to run PbtA than Dungeon World Guide?tried reading the original Apocalypse World but been off put by how many times sex gets mentioned
>>96582367I am personally not interested in it, not even enough to look at the link you posted. It's good of you to actually provide the source and give your own thoughts, though. This board needs more people expressing their own thoughts on the topics they have to post.I have my ways I like to make my games, and I think I'm at the stage where I'm not going to get anything out of looking at other people's systems.
bump >>96590991?watched like 4 sessions with Jason Cordova, and they haven rolled like even once. how am i supposed to learn that shit
>>96590991I've seen people who swear the AW is good and that PBTA shit is bad because it's not good in the way AW is... but AW is bad. It's a shitty game. Always has been. Monster of the Week and MASKS are some of the only working implementations of the PBTA framework.

Hey folks, so got a bit of an announcement.Yoro's been working on their Light of Terra Part 2 document on and off, but their work's been so rancid that they haven't had a lot of time to interact with communities at all. And so as a result, they've asked me to post the google doc for the jump here and make the following request:If you have any critiques, questions, or concerns regarding the document itself specifically, leave notes. They're not really able to interact with the boards at large, but they can get to notes in the document. They also apologize for taking so long on this; they still need to fill out Chaos Undivided and Dark Mechanicus and the overall fluffing. But it's close.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UEp5J_F3CQG3MAcqX7YEz8qUTHTH-Mlk3KihBScTgw8/edit?tab=t.0They also hope you're all doing well.
>>96602414Yay Yoro's alive. Thanks for updating us Red. I'll give my feedback here or in the bunker once I go over the doc.
>>96601772Richie Rich and Batman - Dark Knight Trilogy are quite good for those.

I put this together quickly from a lot of different files, most of which had been butchered through multiple revisions, so its a mess, but it might give you some ideas as to where to go with campaigns. It contains the Settling the Deep campaign (which is generic, there's nothing to it beside a structure), the Titanium Wars one, and the never finished Race for the Temple. Its all unfinished but I'll try to focus on it in the next few days and give it further shape. Its added on the Mediafire, I'll add it soon to the TTS mod, once its a bit more playable.

I think I'll replace the image. >>96598435Its probably greedy of me to ask, but if anyone gets a game down with the TTS mod, a batrep or even just a picture of the forces involved and quick description of how it went down would be awesome. My schedule is starting to come back to normal as well, if someone wants to throw down Friday Evening, Saturday & Sunday all day, let me know!

are there any books that go into detail about the dark cast? like how they operate, how they interact with the IS and clans, and what they're like? they seem like a good place to use some of the homeworld stuff while still having a reason to fight with the people anyone actually gives a shit about.>also I saw this goofy isopod fuck has 6 heavy lasers and an ultra AC/20, and was made to placate Burrock worrior autism since they wanted to still show off as clan burrock, despite being absorbed by cloud cobra, so they made them a token totem mech to get them to shut up.
Almost forgot an important detail from turn 7. The Catapult did take enough damage to require a PSR, and Duncan "Slypig" Cunningham, with his piloting skill of 6, failed it and took a fall.The Axman also took 84 damage in total on turn 7.---Now, on to turn 8 and the FWL has won the initiative. It's now 7 on 3, but they fight on.Some mechs move around. Some stay still to shoot better. 2 mechs are currently on the ground and will have to try and standup.For the Lyrans, the Axman is going to declare a run and attempt to stand up. He fails his roll, and as he falls, he crits the Upper Arm Actuator on his RA and hits his head. He stays conscious through his 2nd wound, but he also failed his seatbelt check and so took a 3rd wound, which he knock him unconscious. This would actually turn out to be for the best for the Axman, because I rolled all 3 of his stand up attempts in a row and they all failed. It was after this that I remember I need to do wounds and consciousness checks, so him getting knocked out on the first fall, kept him from falling back over a 2nd and 3rd time. This once again, really showed how bad a piloting skill of 6 is. You get knocked down and you tend to stay down.For the FWL however, the Catapult was also trying to stand. Having already used a Rifelman quirk, I recalled the Catapult would have the no-arms quirk and so also got a +2 to its PSRs to stand. Slypig also had a 6 piloting skill, so this didn't bode well for him, but he was confident he could stand up in 2 tries, so he declared a walk, so it wouldn't affect his shooting too much this turn. On his first attempt, he failed, fell over and hit his head, taking a wound, but staying conscious. On his second attempt to stand, he failed again, but at least this time his seatbelt worked. The Catapult was now laying on the ground however, and pig season would soon commence.

>>96602614>only Khorne & Pestilens get bespoke prayersThis is one point where I very much would have liked to see them invent some stuff that's not clearly grounded in the wargame's army rules. It's easy enough to homebrew simply using the create-a-spell rules, but it would have been nice to have a little something there.
>>96602287Yes, but also the book presents them as a subfaction, both culturally and potentially as an army in the game.Don't be dumb now.
>>96602695Yeah it's weird considering the Harbinger of Decay is basically a Nurglite Priest.
>>96602750>>96602695It's totally possible that they'll let the HoD dip into the prayers of contagion. It's not like Pestilens prayers have anything exclusive about them beyond the names. They'd just have to name them something other than "Filth-Filth", "Rabid-Rabid" etc in the book.

>>96602223I'm with skeleton guy. He absolutely has to die after all that.
>>96602331>>96602610Die and come back as a skeleton or die die with no chance of revival? Player has to make a new character?
>>96602648sounds like they had plenty of warning so I reckon just kill them outright. They can always be revived later if the party are dedicated enough. Maybe if the player starts crying or something when you tell them then bring them back as a skeleton but it sounds like the PC needs to die in order for the world to stay 'real'.
Why is half the internet crying about wizards making AI DMs?

>>96598338No joke. People didn't know how good they had it.
>>96599710Counterpoint: When people say "Tolkien-esque fantasy," they don't actually mean Tolkienesque. What they mean is something closer to Dragonlance.
>>96602652This, Tolkien's subtle magic actually sets it quite apart from what is considered generic fantasy.
This is now a music inspired by traditional games thread:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Vlr03i-18Have a ball banger to start with.
>low-fantasy primitive setting where characters can acquire technology vastly above the setting's general tech level (but not above the tech level IRL)based or cringe?
A few scenarios:1. high-tech colonists blockaded by the natives. you can trade with them but you (or they) have to get past the blockade somehow. if you're caught with their tech you risk being executed. you can also try to steal from the colonists but that's very dangerous too2. stuff left behind by ancient civ. sort of like primitive STALKER. vaults full of preserved knowledge and technology that are hard to find, hard to breach and very dangerous. Booby traps that can be dismantled for parts by a knowledgeable character (e.g. you defuse a mine and use the TNT filler to make weapons)
>I want GW to bring back Mordheim/BFG/WarmasterWhat is fucking WRONG with these people?Why do they WANT to be sold something they can download a 40-90 page PDF of, and have it turned into a neverending spiral of £40 expansion books, deliberate obsolescence and tinkering from underpaid soimale design staff who can't hold a candle to the OGs?
>>96601567AOS has lots of factions too. More than WHFB, in fact, since they broke the original armies up in tons of hyperspecific forces.
>>96600073NuNecromunda is good. Also I don't care about the WFB setting at all and would prefer a game using the wacky AoS setting.
>>96600116Mordheim is unbalanced as well, a large part of the fun is the campaign and the shit that happens to your dudes on the way.However if GW remade Mordheim today all that would change in that respect is that the imbalance would be much more deliberate and planned, to get you to buy the newest broken shit.
>>96601567AoS has the most factions of all GW games, and that's with retarded amalgam tomes keeping barely related forces together, so a true number is even greater
>>96601477And water is wet.
