Dungeon World / Re: Question on "Within the Devil's Reach" Encounters
« on: August 24, 2012, 10:26:29 PM »
Great, thanks!

I knew as soon as I hit "post" that some of the language I used was problematic. I should clarify that I'm really just trying to internalize what you can throw at a Dungeon World party. I've never seen one in action, so I'm still rather hazy on whether, say, the party's number in lizardmen is a speedbump or a serious threat, that sort of thing. "Encounters" should arise from the fiction, but I should still be trying to keep the content of the fiction appropriate, shouldn't I? If I threw a horde of gnolls at my players' level one PCs as a requirement to even get to the adventure proper in The Madness in Hamish Mine I'd expect to be chastised for it, for example.

Dungeon World / Question on "Within the Devil's Reach" Encounters
« on: August 24, 2012, 09:53:52 PM »
I'm preparing to run my first Dungeon World one-shot tomorrow using the Kickstarter module Within the Devil's Reach, and I'm wondering about the encounters it lists. Are they meant to be scaled to the party in any way or presented as written? For example - and spoiler alert for The Silent Tomb Speaks - is the "stat block" for the wolves meant to represent a small pack thrown against the party, or are those stats for a single wolf and it's up to the GM to decide how many to employ?

If it's the latter, any advice for a new GM on how to scale a Dungeon World encounter?

Apocalypse World / Re: Question about Apocalypse World LE Playbooks
« on: December 06, 2011, 01:20:31 AM »
I have the usual LE Playbooks:
- The Touchstone
- The Quarantine
- The Maestro D'
- The Faceless
- The Marmot
- The Hoarder

Plus these supplements:
- The Fallen
- The Valkyrie

I'm particularly interested in Horseman, Living God and The Kid as those will be useful for a pitch to a potential group ("here's what these existing PCs would look like in Apocalypse World"), but I'm interested in just about everything.

I'll happily trade, but if you've got a fun challenge in mind then I'm game.
