There’s a gif on GitHub page, but it doesn’t make it obvious (for me) if this software can help with “regular” copy/paste. What if I’m logged into two tty sessions at once, can I copy text in nano in one tty and paste it in other editor, like micro, in the other tty? With some universal hotkey?
It’s interesting, as most players I know consider bonds mechanics as “least working” in DW. I prefer Homebrew World implementation, where people ask set of questions. For example, questions from “Fighter” playbook:
• Which of you have I sworn to protect?
• Which of you am I most worried about?
• Which of you has my back?
• Which of you has been flirting with me?
So, fighter player asks them one by one, and any other player can answer “it’s me” when he likes the question and want to establish that bond. Then they talk a little bit discussing details, and switch to next answer / next player.
What’s the point to have “Ideals” next to “Alignment”? Are they mechanically different?
Ok, as I’ve mostly play Dungeon World and hacks recently…
DW: Unlimited Edition: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pv6kVVJhbJi1vr8hVeWh1NqrDQJKgY1B/view
Homebrew World: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oLQ6QUT9LgOZuzoB_YqUaCjfPGYEOlud/view
Not the best example cause DW tries to mimic D&D to some extent, using words like “Alignment”, “Good”, “Lawful” etc but I’ll leave it here too, just for comparison…Dungeon World: https://dungeon-world.com/downloads/Dungeon_World_Play_Sheets.pdf
As you can see, this kind of alignment has two parts, (kinda) vague name and very specific description, which tells what character should do to gain XP. But sure you’ll gain XP for doing something that fits well with “vague” name.
It’s pretty standard thing in systems other than dnd, called “drives” or “motivation”. There are plenty of them, not only nine. And there’s no need for axis, and no need for names like “path or some shit” too.
Yes, it’s kinda sad. I’d totally love to have my rulebook with all the enhancements from best hacks but alas. As far as I know, creators of DW don’t plan to update it
Bard fucking your daughter better then demon fucking you kingdom (killing her beforehand)
DM should adapt… like, okay we’ll summon another demon, just less powerful
I’m still struggling to reach the level where I can consider myself a decent GM. My cognitive resources are limited and after splitting them between constant rebuilding behind-the-curtains threats and fronts, managing PC’s requests and generating good narrative - the latter part receives least attention. It leads to lack of narrative detail and, and PCs get rather poor foundation for making interesting choices and their narrative atop of it. Don’t get me wrong they are all happy and excited after session, that’s just me inherently know that I could do 10 times better. In theory)
As an adult with particular life circumstances, I don’t have a luxury to play with a same group of people with decent regularity. That’s why HbW is my way to go as a GM. Stonetop needs investment I couldn’t afford… but its well-written and explains core game loops much better than DW rulebook… that’s the result of 10(?) years evolution
Yes, that’s picture I saw when I’ve been subscribed. But now it works, suddenly)
Homebrew World, a Dungeon World hack by Jeremy Strandberg. It has less D&D legacy in terms of moves, which are more PbtA-style and less of “add this points of damage” or “add +1 to roll”. It’s made for oneshots or brief campaigns, playbooks are interesting and fun to actual use. I’ve run a game recently, took 8 hours and was really a blast!
I was trying to say just that - it shows zero posts after subscribing, and other ml communities behave the same way
I can’t subscribe for communities from lemmy.ml - !memmy@lemmy.ml for example. It just show zero posts. Why is that?
It’s much worse in Lemmy due its “federative” nature. For example, for “Dungeons&Dragons” - in reddit you have 9 subs in search, 2 of them are memes-related, 3 are “general” ones, 2 for DnD5e, 1 for DnD3.5 and 1 for UK people. They have clear distinction at least in their names, and sometimes have separate “theme”, like the one for 3.5 edition. In lemmy we already have 14, most of them have same name, literally letter to letter. And don’t forget that lemmy’s userbase is ~6000+ times less than reddit. People just continue to create new instances and same comminities, over and over.
I’m still to run my first game so no advice here, just wish you good game) This place here is a lil bit empty
You can create post here, dedicated to your hack. DW subreddit isn’t accessible now, I’ve managed to reach your old post there via cached search page but it’s kinda unrelialable :)
Can you share mage playbook? Never mind, I’ve taken it from cached reddit page)))
Yes! If I want some kind of mage/spellcaster in my game, I go for Unlimited Dungeons variant. Bot DW and HbW mage variants are disappointedly limited
Yes, that’s what I wanted to know. So alas, no out-of-the-box magic for me…I find it incredibly frustrating that in 2023 one can’t simply copy-paste text from one local console to another. It seems like a basic function for a terminal-based *nix systems which doesn’t exist. I know it’s complicated even at the first glance, with huge security implications (like copying text in the root terminal and pasting it to a user one) but I believe it’s all solvable
