Dungeon World: Sea of Grass

Before I spend a bunch of time on the AI generator and forum creation, is there any interest here at Myth-Weavers for a game of Dungeon World (https://www.dungeonworldsrd.com/)? I was thinking about running a PbP version of a live game I have been running.

It will be Jumanji/D&D cartoon-style in that teens from our world have been pulled into mostly abandoned, post-apocalyptic-feeling fantasy world as their favorite fantasy characters. The PCs will be older teens (16-18) and the remaining NPCs in the group (~4) may be younger. I'm open to considering non-core playbooks so long as the playbook is publicly available for free and keeps the classic RPG character feel. Since this is PbP, the scenario will be a pretty short, linear adventure (lasting for 4-6 months of real time) of trying to do the thing to get home. Characters will level quickly.

My table-top version of this game is pretty brutal, like....really brutal, so we'll have to tone that back for Myth-Weavers. But Dungeon World is going for an old school feel, so death (at least of one of the NPCs) is always just a few bad rolls away.

So, anyone interested?

Are you going to do playbooks first come, first served? I'd love to play a Cleric.

Excellent. I have another week before exams, so I'll just be poking along at this, but hopefully will have an ad up by the end of next week.

Kinda. I'm going to have a short application process so players can declare what playbook they want to play, but I'm also going to have them declare a backup playbook in case two people want the same playbook. Hopefully, we can just talk it out.

"Rip" might not be the best choice of words . . . just sayin'.

Any time a weapon with the "messy" tag enters a scene in Dungeon World, crap is about to get real. :D

The image of Hannah holding Sam's arm like it was a beloved teddy bear as the ogre just stomped up behind her with that giant meat cleaver.... it was something, that's for sure.

But like I said, this game will be much more tame.

Promise.

Mostly.

I'll do my best.

sounds like somebody had a really bad case of the mondays.

this sounds fun. i'd be interested and should have the time for this. I think short format games work pretty well in pbp.
