Dungeon World / Fighting multiple opponents
« on: September 10, 2012, 06:54:34 PM »
I'm in my second week of running the game. A question occurred to me as I thought back about the session, which is: What do you do about fighting multiple opponents?

The flow of the fighting was fine at the time, but on a couple of occasions, either deliberately or by opponent actions, single characters ended up fighting groups of opponents. In original DND, this would have been dangerous, with those characters being attacked by each opponent; in DW, when the character rolled a 7-9, I was dealing the damage of a single monster, regardless of how many were being fought. As I look back, it doesn't seem quite right, with a group being no worse than a queue. But contrawise, it's not like the players were ignoring the extras, so I couldn't just assume the rest got free hits.

Perhaps I'm over thinking it. In one case, the surrounded player was dragged down by the mob - the move following the fiction, right? Any other ideas?
