Dungeon World / Re: No more highlighted stats?

Thanks for pointing me at that.  I think the game works perfectly fine the way you have it, without highlighting stats, don't get me wrong.  Just a personal taste thing.  Thanks for the insight, i'll be trying both ways as I continue running DW and see which one works best for my group.

I do see the benefit to helping level out the XP gain among all the players. 

But, by doing strange things in the fiction do you mean like a Fighter doing parley because CHA is highlighted?  And a Wizard doing hack and slash because STR is highlighted?  Cause if that is what you mean than I don't think that is weird, I think that is fun and interesting.  One of the cool things to do IMO with highlighted stats was to use them to force players to break out of stereotypes and ruts.

Dungeon World / No more highlighted stats?
« on: February 29, 2012, 03:42:49 AM »
I just finished reading the newest version of the Dungeon World rules.  I'm loving everything I read, with one exception.  I really liked the highlighted stat mechanic from Apocalypse World and from the earlier versions of DW. 

I was wondering if Sage or Adam could comment on the idea/thought process behind removing that mechanic in the newest version.  I am considering house ruling it back in, but I'm wary of making any changes to the rules without a full understanding.

Apocalypse World / Re: new character playbook: quarantine
« on: February 08, 2011, 01:51:26 AM »
I just found Apocalypse World and I'm a huge fan.  Found out about it from the Walking Eye podcast.  Very much looking forward to playing it soon.  But a couple of people in my group have also listened to the podcast, found out about the Quarantine character playbook and are really really interested in that.  It seem Vincent is fine if someone who has the PDF passed it along.  Could anyone help me out on that?
