Hey, love the game and I’m glad to see that the playbooks and move sheets are out. It makes it much easier to understand and run the game for me.
I haven’t played it yet but I am already thinking about hacks already to run a certain cyber-fantasy game.
I was thinking of adding the races as custom moves to add to the class playbooks along the lines of:
TROLL
You are a giant hunk of knobby meat. If you don’t have +1 armor, you have +1 natural armor.
You are scary as hell. Take +1 to PLAY HARDBALL against non-trolls.
You’re Fucking Huge. It’s hard to fix things that fit. You take -1 to all rolls to GO UNDER THE KNIFE and HIT THE STREET to acquire [gear]
Not sure what to do about the other races yet. Thinking dwarf might get a minus to harm rolls and elves would have a bonus to fast talk.
Mage and Shaman would obviously be playbooks. I’m thinking Mage might have spells aka dungeon world and Shaman might summon spirits. Not sure yet. Thoughts?
I playtested Touched a bit ago, the setting Steve Wallace is working on for The Sprawl. I think you’re going to be super excited. He’s basically doing all of that. 😀
Oh nice that does sound like what I’m looking for any idea when it will be released? Or is there a beta up?
Soon. The answer is soon. Getting the main game together came first. I got the impression a few months was the rough ETA though.
I think it’s exactly what you are looking for (including specifically Mage and Shaman playbooks)! I think it will be released with the Settings book that I think is coming out this summer. Not sure about beta testing. Let’s ping Hamish Cameron and Steve Wallace 🙂
Ben Blanding , here is some info about Touched:

Though if their is beta testing. I would gladly be in that group as well.
Look for Sixth World for Dungeon World. Both 2.0 and revised.
I’m planning on having the completed playtest docs over to Hamish sometime in the next couple of days.
Eduardo Henrique Schaeffer yeah, Sixth World is already an excellent PbtA take on Shadow run. The Sprawl is ideal for straight cyberpunk, but I’d just use Sixth World if I wanted a fantasy hybrid.
I think I will still wait for Sprawls variant only because it keeps the gritty level of damage that you have more often in shadowrun. Dungeon World the characters can take hits a lot easier and don’t quite have the level of pain linked with damage, which is part of what I like with Apoc World and is carried over in Sprawl.
Yeah reading about the Mage and shaman in touched it does sound like what I’m looking for.
Any comments on how I structured the troll template?
