brainstorming & development / Holy Shit, Let's Be Dinosaurs
« on: January 06, 2015, 11:23:12 AM »
Aka Prehistoric/ Jurassic/ Mesozoic World.

Google Drive Link: Alpha Working Document

Aims:
Play as a fucking dinosaur
Play fast and simple
Hunt and eat herbivores

The Four Stats:
(-2 to +2)
Sharp: claws and teeth
Bulk: fat and muscle
Lithe: legs and wings
Cunning: eyes and brain

Injury and Death
Harmed? Pick a stat, or the GM will. Mark it as hurt. Pick that stat again? Mark its debility: -1 ongoing. Pick it a third time? Final debility: -2 ongoing. Pick it a fourth time? Your dinosaur is dead. Serious dangers can do 2, 3, or even 4 harm, sometimes to a specific stat.

The Moves:
Slash: roll + Sharp. 7+ deal damage. 7-9 also take Harm.
Crush: roll + Bulk. 7+ shove into a bad spot, deal damage or choose a tag and remove it. 7-9 choose: also deal Harm to yourself, or left in a bad spot.
Dash: roll + Lithe. 10+ get there. Fast. 7-9: hard bargain, attract attention or destroy scenery en route.
Lurk: roll + Cunning. 7+ ask/tell one. 10+ ask/tell three. Questions: [edit in later!]
Defy Danger: roll + Stat. 10+ avoid. 7-9 one Harm to rolled stat
Devour: roll + chunks of flesh eaten. 10+ move two steps from death. 7-9, move one.

The Playbooks:

Tyrant Lizard: Tyrannosaurus Rex Roar, Jaws of Death

Haha, yeah, the terrifying sea monsters that want to eat your mind are one of my favourite bit about the setting, and writing a class that summons them was so much fun!

There's just one day left to back the project, currently at 500% funded!

We reached £3000 in a week! We are powering through the stretch goals:



£3000 Goal: Location Guide
The Pirate World location guide will be in all copies! It includes a ton of location types, each with suggested traps, creatures, inhabitants, treasure and focused Fronts.

Here are some examples of location types: mysterious islands, underwater cities, volcanoes, leviathan corpses used as ships, the black galleons of Enoch's empire. I can't wait to show you guys!

Dungeon World / Pirate World Kickstarter! Nov 1st - Dec 3rd

I've written a Dungeon World supplement all about pirates, ships and sea monsters!



The Kickstarter will go from November the 1st - December 3rd, 2013, and it gives people the chance to grab the 150+ page full colour book as a PDF (£9, approx $15) or as a hardcover book (£33, approx $50 including postage in US). All backer levels give instant access to the playbooks. I'm so excited! It has:

7+ playbooks
BACKGROUNDS (20+); a new, simple way of customising your character from level 1 onwards
HIRELINGS: a total overhaul to DW's hireling system, making each hireling unique with their own personality and custom moves
LUNCHEON WORLD: a guide to playing DW adventures in 30 or so minutes, plus a guide to streamlining DW to play online
MECHANICS: Simple rules for stealing/ commandeering a ship and sailing it around, raiding/ blowing things up/ sinking it
BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS from two awesome artists
AN AWESOME SETTING: a vast, unexplored ocean filled to the brim with unique (playable) races (festering amphibians, terrifying arachs) and crazy takes on traditional races (e.g. a Soviet-style dwarf race who sail in giant ironclads, or an industrial empire fuelled by demonic sacrifices)

I can't wait! I'll be running Pirate World games on the google+ group as of next week after the kickstarter begins!
