Sean Gomes​ would you be willing to share the images for the factions that you have previewed? I’d like to paste them into a GM sheet or on other documents featuring those factions. If you want to wait until Carta Galaxia that’s cool.

So I have a quick question regarding negotiating in a world without real currency. How would you handle, say, cutting someone in on a deal? If I’m making a deal to trade some illicit cargo to a guy, and want to hire some muscle for 20% of the take, how do you translate this into UW? Should it be phrased differently?

Now that folks have been running games for a while, has anyone created, imported from other PbtA systems, or otherwise scrounged up alternate advancement goals?

Our players are starting to amass quite a lot of skills, and some of them are standing out as the more frequently useful ones; Toughness and Tactics come to mind. Yes, I do know a good GM can make the others relevant, but that’s a separate topic. 🙂

I know in Dungeon World you typically are encouraged to retire characters at level 10. I’d just like to get creative about alternate rewards to be bought with XP if some sort of skill cap is enacted. Some ideas we’ve bounced around are: data points, reroll credits, skill trades, equipment, currency, political favors. I’d love to come up with something system-related so people still feel like their characters are earning something fun and powerful, but we don’t end up with everyone being good at everything.

Time to start that Epic Level Handbook! 😉

Last Sunday’s game went pretty smoothly for this rookie PbtA/UW GM. A few stumbling points and the PbtA guru had to bite his tongue in a few places.  But, it was all good and well.  The goal was to let everyone run around in their character’s skins and get a feel for the mechanics and setting we’re building.  Our guru said that the feel of the session was one long foreshadowing move, in that case, I’ll call that a win in my book.  🙂

I’m working on a session report, but not sure if that will be a published thing since we’re also an actual play podcast.  Hey guys, can we spoil our own show or should I hold the report for use as show notes?  

When a character chooses their advancement, do they choose one for each career or just one single advancement?

When a character chooses their advancement, do they choose one for each career or just one single advancement? On page 162, it’s kind of unclear to me.

I have a question about the “stun” upgrade on weapons.

I have a question about the “stun” upgrade on weapons.

I have a question about the “stun” upgrade on weapons. It’s always seemed to me like its somewhat punishing to have it cost an upgrade, since its more like a sidegrade to me, as stunning an enemy can be better than killing them, but isn’t always. As well, some weapons make sense to have the stun tag and another tag (namely how they stun), like Chemical, Concussive, or Shock. But a taser doesn’t really strike me as a class 2 weapon, even though it would be Stun/Shock. Any opinions that can help me wrap my mind around this?

One more thing just for fun, to add “flavor” to your sessions, consider this: Most spacers will be vegetarians not by nature or ethics, but by pocketbook. Real meat is expensive, both in cost to raise and in retail cost. 

“But sir! We’ll have vat grown meat!”

Yeah, about that. Growing meat in a dish is one thing, large scale commercial production is another. And unless they go the extra mile, what you get is a dry mushy compound that doesn’t taste of anything.  No fat content, that’s different set of cells, and because it’s grown in a vat, the meat doesn’t align into muscles, providing definition and texture. 

To get something that looks like a steak, they literally would have to sculpt the meat around fake bones, adding fat cells for marbling, and then exercise it with electrical shocks as it grows in a nutrient medium.

When you price it out, you’ll either pay a hundred credits for a 22 gram piece of sculpted vat meat, or that same hundred credits will get you kilos of vegetables and Phood. 

“Phood?” you ask?

Yes, Phood™ from the Phood Corporation. They produce all sorts of ersatz meat products from their ever popular Beeph™ to their line of Pharm Fresh Feggs™. Phood Corp products look and taste like the real thing. 

They are made from mycoprotein harvested from vast mats of fungus grown in sterile conditions, they can mimic the texture and flavor of what ever you desire. 

Feel like Chikhen™? Or some Mheet™ balls with your pasta? They got it. 

Dig in and enjoy!
