War on the Skaven in Dungeon World (Inactive)

Game Master DM Mooshybooshy, "the Foolish"

Famous last words..

I can't speak for the others, but I *want* bad s!$+ to happen. It's more fun that way.

If Archepex dies, do I get to bring in my old character? ;)
I'm getting fond of the elf though. He won't die easily.

Taking a 3 day weekend from posting today guys, I'm released early from work and it's too bright outside to sit at my computer for now. Might update tonight, otherwise have a good weekend and will update Monday!

Does anyone else feel that a string of 6- rolls, followed by a Pit Fiend being unleashed, followed by YET ANOTHER string of 6- rolls, could be bad?

Can't wait!

This is just lead up to mooshy actually posting, "Rocks fall. Everyone dies."

Site was down during the only time of day that I had free to write updates yesterday, which is why I didn't post anything. Too busy at work today to post a full update now, but I will be taking care of that when I get home from work tonight. Update coming in the evening! Cheers folks

So I only have one bond that I think could be resolved:

Archepex: Archepex is a natural leader. I should trust his instincts.

Dhice was not too keen on Archepex's plan to attack the Pit Lord the way that he did, but he chipped in and helped with that attack while ignoring the danger his friends faced against the ooze goblins. It worked, and Archepex was proven right.

I'd like to upgrade the bond to: "Archepex is a leader worth following. He will lead us to our own betterment."

Bonds
Could everyone read theirs and give me a yes or nay?

Hjalmar's weapon lacks finesse, though its killing power is undeniable. Time will tell who is the better marksman
Resolved +1

Bathilda: she is a frightened little girl at the deepest self, but that is a secret for me to keep, not share. I will help her become who she pretends to be.
Reaolved +1

Emma: Exactly what brand of crazy did we just pick up?
Resolved: The craziest kind.
Proposed: I will watch Emma until she proves that she can work with the group.

Grigor: Nails look to Grigor for toughness lessons.
Resolved: And so do rocks, aparently
Proposed: Grigor is a mighty friend and ally, but something of a mystery. I will learn more about his history.

Dhice: that boy wields great power, but it isn't as predictable as I'd like.
Resolved: He can be relied upon, even when his power does go on the fritz.
Proposed: He could use some lessons in subtelty. I will instruct him.

Lyntel: She is a precious reminder of my people. I will protect her until she proves conclusively that she can protect herself.
Resolved: She stood her ground against the goblins well enough.
Proposed: I am wary of this song she proposes. I will do my best to like it. No promises.

If all resolve I come to 8 xp and will level with the making camp move xp which I will post in a bit.

Agreed, though he may not agree with your perception of him as later.

Good by me.

Archepex your bonds are great. I really like what you've done there.

And yes, I totally agree with resolving Dhice's bond in that way.

Finally, I'm glad the player approves of my new bond, and fully expect the character not to be quite as sure!

BTW, I may be able to resolve a bond with Emma, depending on how the fluff piece goes in the main thread. I am thinking of the 2nd of these two:

Emma: I must show Emma that she has more to offer than curses.
Emma: Emma's matter-of-fact approach to a friend's life threatening problem is disturbing. I should lead by example and try to show her what compassion can do.

I have leveled up. I have resolved most of my Bonds and set new ones. If anybody objects to any of them, please let me know.

Exams have happened! Or rather, are in the process of happening. In exactly one week this set will be done. I will get around to doing end of session as soon as I return. Feel free to bot as neccessary. I will return in 7 days, but will probably keep an eye on proceedings on all three games I'm in.

Update coming tomorrow

Bond looks good to me Grigor.

Good by me.

Looks good, grigor

re: Lyntel's dream sequence: I'm willing to give it a shot, but can't really commit to something that doubles the posting effort if it's going to run in parallel. I guess my answer is "I'm game to try but may have to drop if it ends up being time-intensive."

It really shouldn't be time intensive, just for me. No non-Lyntel post in the dream sequence should be longer than a sentence.

Here is an example game.

Looks fun! When you get down to sleep, go ahead and start it up, and we can help you move through your dream. Looks very low-commitment since anyone can contribute and answer your questions.

That's not bad. Specialty since any of us could answer. Would you and I both be on the narrative side, Lyntel?

We could try with two narrators but I think it might make more sense to have us be separated almost immediately (in my scene setting post) and move forward with just one.

Where do you want to run it Lyntel? A throwaway subreddit? A new tab on this campaign maybe? (is that possible?)

We could run in this discussion tab, or maybe just in the gameplay tab with

DREAM:

Before each relevant post.

No need to go to a separate thread. If you want virtual separation just spoiler it.

I post from mobile a lot. I'd rather not wrap stuff in spoilers all the time, if possible.

I think just writing Dream at the top would be enough.

I do 90% of my posting from my phone, formatting and all. :P [/overachiever]

Same here. All about those custom keypad shortcuts! [B] [i] [ooc] [dice=

You have custom shortcuts!? How(if your on an android)? I type everything out.

Check this out Archepex

I'm back! I'm done! Where should I jump back in? Something about an end of session roll?

There was an end of session roll, yes. Go ahead and do that I guess. :)

As for this riddle... I had to look it up. Both my wife and I couldn't get it.

I love riddles, but I have such a hard time putting them in my games, because I have a hard time finding the balance between "too hard" and "trivial". If nobody can get it, the golem will just go aggro and you guys can deal with it "more traditionally." ;)

Or try and find a way around.

Nah. If none gets it I'll just answer it in character. ;)

*Pouts*

I like my answer better.

Yours is a good answer. If the golem says no I'll try my answer I found on the intrawebz.

MCKhaos on reddit mentioned there might be room for another player in this game. Is that true? I'll play any open class!

Yours is a good answer. If the golem says no I'll try my answer I found on the intrawebz.

What did you find, anyway?

A snowflake. :)

Hi Everyone! I'm the new player (human thief). I can't wait to get in there and play. Should I make bonds?

We'll do the same thing we did for Lyntel when that character joined the party - you'll be making bonds as you go.

Sounds good to me! In that case, I think my CS is ready to roll and I'm ready to get into the game.

Did Milo become Cornwall?

Sorry! Posted from the wrong alias!

Really sorry that my posting has slowed down this past week guys. Between DOOM and Overwatch, I've been really distracted! I'm still in this though, and a big update post is coming later today, I guarantee it.

How is Doom? I have such fond memories of the original, but the prior remake left me cold and disappointed.

It's great. I got it for $40 from here. Worth every penny.
