See my reply to Brennan's comment above.<br /><br />If the DM wants to use lots of maps, miniatures, and visual aid, that's his prerogative. If you ever run or play in a game like this, please let me know!<br />Venger Satanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447932700800930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127768838625625744.post-72892636884022636022013-04-04T11:46:51.865-05:002013-04-04T11:46:51.865-05:00I've been educating myself over the last 24 ho...<br />I've been educating myself over the last 24 hours. Yeah, some aspects are similar... like when players describe the history of their favorite weapon complete with Dwarves, Dragons, and Drow - then those things suddenly exist in the game world.<br /><br />However, I'm of the opinion that a lot of these emo/forge/storygames create pockets of meta-game artificiality in their attempt to make play more narrative. That bothers me a bit. <br /><br />And yet, I can see myself incorporating a couple elements of Dungeon World into my own campaign, even if I can't imagine myself ever running a DW game.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment, Brennan!<br /><br />Venger Satanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447932700800930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127768838625625744.post-65568997426986414282013-04-04T10:48:51.020-05:002013-04-04T10:48:51.020-05:00Sounds very much like a Apocalypse World/Dungeon W...Sounds very much like a Apocalypse World/Dungeon World environment with a free-form combat system and a less orchestrated Magical Sysytem. I like it and would be willing to play in a game based on a system like this.

...Great post! This kind of game is all to the good.<br /><br />I had some thoughts similar to this recently. I was considering a beach trip with some friends, and the thought came up, "what happens if it rains the whole time"? <br /><br />I think I could run a D&D/S&W type game with nothing but dice, paper, & pencils. Not even maps, let the players draw the maps as I describe whatever come to mind.<br /><br />Heck, a lot of the rolls in my S&W game are just "roll the dice and see what happens" high means good, low means bad, middle means both.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029689845011438878noreply@blogger.com
