I’ve often had problems using the Seduce & Manipulate move in Apocalypse World and the Parley move in Dungeon World…

I’ve often had problems using the Seduce & Manipulate move in Apocalypse World and the Parley move in Dungeon World , but until now I never tried to express them in a communicable form.

In the linked post I try to explain my gripes, and to offer a possible alternative solution. One that is now part of my personal DW reimagining, jokingly called #AdvancedDungeonWorldNext2 (or just #ADWN2 for short) (just a funny placeholder name for the project).

Am I the only one experiencing those problems?

What are YOUR problems with that move?

How do you like my alternative move?

BASIC MOVES

This is the third thread in the series where I present my latest work to the public, explain it’s design goals, and then discuss and analyse the final result on the Story-Games forum.

Enjoy.

This is the second post in the series analysing my very personal spin on a fantasy PbtA game.

As usual, here is the link to the full content posted on the Story-Games forum, for ease of exposition and discussion 🙂

MAN! is it difficult to avoid the walking band aid!

Does anyone know of alternative playbooks for the Cleric class?

FICTIONAL HARM SYSTEM

FICTIONAL HARM SYSTEM

I’ve posted on the Story-Games forum a piece of a larger PbtA fantasy project I would like to have feedback about.

Here:

In this post I offer a heavily fiction first harm system meant to completely substitute DW health points and even AW harm segments, for both PCs and NPCs.

It’s supposed to make damage feel threatening and meaningful without necessarily making the PCs die like flies, while still allowing the GM to make other characters as fragile or resilient as needed.

The rest of the game system leveraging this core mechanic (moves, classes, etc) will come in future posts 🙂

Hey 🙂

Debt related question. Possibly a very stupid doubt, but still, I’m curious to hear what is the general consensus.

In character generation some relationships are represented by “big” Debts.

Like: once I saved your life, so now you owe me not 1, but 2 whole debts.

But then it is not clear if it is possible to Do Someone a Favor agreeing that the favor is worth 2 debts, or if 1 favor always equals 1 debt.

Hi :)

I’m not sure what to make of the Fae move Scales of Justice.

At first glance it looks like a great way to earn debts, like: you owe me a debt and I put my magic at your service.

But instead it requires the Fae to cash in (to spend) a debt she already has on the recipient of the magic.

Is this meant to be only used as a punitive action?

If you cross me remember that I can magically burn you because you owe me?

Or am I misreading something?
