IMO, the Child-Thing is very much a creature of the maelstrom. It's fundamental scarcity/impulse stems from its desire to understand the human condition. To blend in. To belong. But it is so alien that that understanding and belonging may be unattainable.

If you want to keep the Child-Thing connected to the other PCs, lean into the idea that "the maelstroms's wolves are hunting you" by making the maelstrom's wolves just really not good for anyone. In some sense, having the Child-Thing in your game is a perfect excuse to add as much of a supernatural element to the setting as you like.

Looks fun. It's hard to comment more.

There might be bits in Cyber Peripherals you can mine, but I admit it ended up with too many moving parts for my taste - regrounding favours in barter the way you have seems neater.

Sure thing!

Somewhere in the document, if you would, please say something like "the threat map from Apocalypse World is ?2016 by Meguey Baker & D. Vincent Baker, used with permission."

Thanks!

I'm not quite finished yet, but I'm getting there. Thanks so much, I'll definitely shoot you an email when I'm ready!

Looking forward to seeing it. Let me know if you need a playtester

Goblin World (and Number Appearing) was written to question the assumption that ?monstrous races? were always evil or unplayable.

I want to continue to encourage players to put aside their assumptions and limits of what character they can play and to explore new horizons.

However, the language I used in writing Goblin World perpetuates racial stereotypes in a way that does not reflect my core beliefs.

I apologise if my work has offended anyone, or contributed in any way to creating or spreading prejudice.

As the author I have decided to remove this title until I have the time and capability to revise and make it what it needs to be. I may also remove the threads containing rules from this forum in future.

I am proud of the artists who contributed to this work. My decision is not intended to reflect on their artwork, or on the Dungeon World game.

If you have concerns, questions or comments, please reach out to me here or at @ Wightbred on Twitter.
