This might sound stupid but does anyone have a picture of assembled trifolds or instructions on how to print and fold them? I’m guessing you print the relevant info for a trifold on both sides of one piece of paper then fold it in thirds somehow?

Inside your gaming group, how do you people refer to your AW-powered campaigns?

Inside your gaming group, how do you people refer to your AW-powered campaigns? Do you say “tomorrow night we’re playing Dungeon World” or do you use some other title, derived from play or maybe chosen by the MC at the beginning?

In my experience, not all RPG campaigns grow a separate identity. People just play “Shadowrun” or even “Forgotten Realms”. I was wondering if this rebranding of sorts was more frequent in games that encourage worldbuilding and strong narrative. 

Or maybe I’m just stating the obvious?

We played the season final of our “London Calling” Apocalypse World campaign this week.

We played the season final of our “London Calling” Apocalypse World campaign this week. Having taken a Holding, we’re taking a break for a bit. Also, had some issues regarding one player not really jibing with his playbook or some of the rules; I expect it’s due to a lack of familiarity with the system and the playbooks on both his and my part. Comments from more experienced Apocalypters welcome!

If someone could develop a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney hack for Apocalypse World, that would be awesome. Kthxbye

Come on over and find out, then stay and play.  We’re helping people playing in the Asia-Pacific time zones find games of all kinds and each other, and who knows – maybe you can make some jam of your own!

So, I am going to assume that quite a few of us have stories such as mine tonight. Last June, I came back from a 4 year hiatus after feeling absolute low in the gaming industry.

Just moving to FL from VA and having a hard time finding a gaming group, I was able to start one with one of the new Virtual Table Tops just created in this last year where I assumed gaming mechanics that I knew and loved from before I left …. d20. 5 months things went well, until i learned about Dungeon World in which in this last 2 months have become absolutely everything World related as it really is the kind of narrative system I love to play and run. Well, tonight a line was drawn in the sand in my group for those that want a narrative experience and those that want no RPing in an RPG and would rather it be larger scale board game.

Even explaining the rules, they didn’t like that somethings were left narrative or that some items were subjective ….. I actually think one of my player’s head popped as he was instantly quiet. Should have seen this coming miles away when these people hated when I referred to them by their character’s name. Well, off to make new friends to run more fun games!
