First for no games.

Why did this die?

It used to have notable following a dacade ago and now there’s an abortion of third edition for hardcore fans and even the hardcore fans play it using Apocalypse World.

So, does anyone have the latests overpriced NPCs and/or writeups from the leaked core to an share?

Thank you for your generosity. You are the broest of bros Anon.

Look at some of the dungeon starters they published.

My big recommendation is to use the third party classes over the published ones... at least for Wizard and Cleric.

>How big should the 'blanks' be in Dungeon World?
If you're playing by the book, pretty big. This is the thing most DW GMs get very, very wrong.

By RAW, you're supposed to start Dungeon World with the only preplanned aspect of the map being the very first dungeon the players enter, then you fill the rest of the map and the world out by asking the players leading questions about their characters: why are you looking for the artifact in this dungeon? Who sent you? Thief, did you hear of anything else that might be in this dungeon? Cleric, what does your order say will happen if you don't find the artifact in this dungeon?

Eventually, the players will be put on the spot and will introduce aspects of the world: the cleric will mention his order's temple. Ask him how far he travelled from the temple to get here. Put it on them map. Ask the elf about his forest, and the creatures in it. Put it on the map.

Once the first session is over, you take the things the players talked about and use those to create the game's fronts. When you asked the Paladin why he needed the artifact, he might have said it's the only way to stem the tide of apaocalypse. Maybe the wizard said that he's competing with a rival to steal ancient knowledge. You ONLY start the game with a dungeon pre-planned, and even that has significant gaps for you to have the PLAYERS congextualize WHY they're in that dungeon and some of WHAT is in that dungeon. Everything else, INCLUDING the "plot" of the campaign, is generated based on the player responses to your leading questions during the first session.

You do NOT worldbuild before the first session of Dungeon World. You can guide the way the players create the first fronts with leading questions: e.g., if you ask the elf "What will happen to your people when the sap of the great tree runs dry" then there is clearly some crisis involving tree sap that needs to be resolved, but you start the game with nothing more than your dungeon and your questions.

that seems like a pretty miserable way to run a campaign desu famalam

You know, I was just thinking about posting a Discworld thread. About Death and wizards.
In the early books, we find out that wizards gleefully kill each other in order to get promotions. The tradition dies down when Ridicully shows up and proves to be unkillable, but before it, wizards kill each other in droves.
The problem is, wizards also know exact time of their deaths. Isn't it a little inconsistent? Like, if you know that your rival is not going to kill you, why even bother to prepare to fight back (like we see in Light Fantastic, or how Ridicully handles things)? You know it's not your time, he's not gonna do shit.
You don't just die in Discworld, your lifespan must end first.

World in Flames has organizational limits to action that must be rationed and planned around, and trying to decide what to build is often enormously impacted by what you're actually capable of efficiently commanding.

Track swapping from Legend. This is how you do multiclassing, not stupid level by level bullshit.

The Star Wars thread got me thinking about it, but let me add a second game.

Pic related was an attempt to cash in off of the original trilogy star wars craze. You don't have it set in the Star Wars universe, but the idea of a bunch of plucky rebels trying to overthrow an evil Galactic Empire should be patently familiar. But the mechanics are just neat overall.
You have a divide between "characters" and military units. Characters are the "heroes" of the galactic saga, and they're the ones who go adventuring around and doing cool shit. You use them to incite planets to rebellion (or shore them up against it if you're the Empire), spy on each other, try to raise money, sabotage facilities, etc. The Rebels start with 12 characters to the Empire's 10, and can recruit up to 20 to the Empire's 12. In addition, the Rebel characters are generally better, although the Imperials have a number of very good generals. This means that in the long game, the Rebels almost always win.... eventually, and the game centers around how quickly can they do so.

But characters, for all their abilities, can't physically take and hold planets. To do that you need troops. The Empire can raise them by levying taxes and spending that money to build more units, but the rebels have to incite planets into rebellion to get military units, and at one point in the game will come out of their secret base with a big push of troops.

But the mechanic I was really thinking of when I started this post was the one called the "Domino effect". If the Rebels go along with a big gang of characters, and put one world into rebellion, leave it, move on to the next, etc., the Imperials will be following them with their massive fleet and crush all these forces one by one.

nope, that's strictly for space marines, sisters of battle, tech priests , Inquisition, custodes, etc.

Basically everyone but Imperial Guard and Storm Troopers really.

Hey imperial assault players, are there any high quality scans of the cardboard tokens the game comes with? Any scans of the ones in the expansions?
