So tonight will be my first game with MotW. My players (daughter and brother both 9-years old) have been playing Dungeon World so they are already familiar with the system. I recently discovered this game and thought they would enjoy it. I will be using my parent’s house as the location of the events. A Giant Plant monster growing out of the pool in the backyard that is beginning to spread throughout the house and neighborhood. There are some humanoid type plant minions that the monster has turned the residents of the home (my family) into. I really want to put them in the position of, “now honey, do you really want to cut your grandmother’s head off? Or would you like to see if maybe there’s a ‘cure’ for this?” Just have to make a small adjustment to the playbooks and moves by changing ass to butt so the kids aren’t yelling, “I want to kick some ass!” Ha. I just know my brother is probably going to go with the Monstrous while my daughter will probably pick the Spooky. So we will just have to see how this plays out later.

So the game was pretty successful. My daughter ended up playing as the Monstrous. She said she wanted to be a vampire princess so that’s what we did. And she stayed as a 9-year old girl/vampire. My brother was the Initiate. He said he wanted to use a 2-handed sword and some magic. My daughter was all about the investigation so she was doing a lot of investigate a mystery and read a bad situation moves. While my brother was the one causing some serious problems by just caring about kicking some (butt) and not wanting to ask questions. Also he failed his beginning move and so his Sect told him he had to kill all survivors (if any) so they couldn’t tell people what happened. At first he didn’t care but when they killed the first minion and discovered that it was his (real life) dad taken over by the plants that’s when he started freaking out a bit. It was fun. Especially, cause my daughter was already thinking that these minions were probably the people in the house but my brother just wasn’t listening and went all crazy on the first minion. They ended up saving one of the members of the house (which was actually my brother). Also my daughter wrote like a half a page of notes as we were playing and was putting some pieces together but my brother just wouldn’t allow for time to investigate. In the end they killed the giant plant monster that was in the pool and was able to save someone, though we will have to see how that will workout in the end with his Sect.
