Dungeon World
I'm going to run my first DW game soon. I've never GM'd a TTRPG before, but I've played a few. Most players haven't played TTRPGs, so I like DW for it's simplicity to learn. I'm very comfortable improvising, but I have a bit of prep and would like some feedback on it. My current idea is to start where all the characters are in a large jail cell. I'll ask the following to set up the world. - Where is this jail cell? What's the city name, vibe, etc? - Why have each of you been arrested? - Who else is in the cell with you? Then we'll set up bonds and then the adventure will begin. Based on how things go, they'll either have to do a prison break, or fight in a gladiator style arena. I'll have some enemies prepared for those scenarios. For anything else, I will just wing it. Does this feel like good prep for the session?
I created a GPT to answer DW questions. In my testing it's pretty good about not getting confused with DnD rules (which regular ChatGPT does). I'm organizing my first DW game as a GM and I'm planning to use it to help me out. Some good prompts for it: - How much XP does a character need to level up? - How do I resolve damage from multiple NPCs attacking the character? - Suggest 3 monsters the party might encounter in an evil wizard's castle - Create some stats for a Giant Chihuahua monster You do need ChatGPT Plus to use it though

I like Dungeon World, but there are some things I don't like. I don't like the damage dice especially. It makes it more like D&D than I want to be. I have seen mention of some variants, and I checked out the free version of Chasing Adventure which seemed more like what I was looking for. What are the other Variants people have played, and what are they like?
It's much better, no? upd: edited title for clarity
Dungeon World has a lot of playbooks, official and unofficial. What has your favorite one been to use, and what made it so great?
> I went back through the Dungeon World subreddit posts to come up with the top 10 things that people should know when making the switch from D&D 5e
Hi Everyone, I've copied over the Dungeon World wiki to be accessible completely off of reddit, using Google Drive instead. [Here is the Wiki Front Page](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gGftIS8YRsyK8mG6sVR3qcCT58N1N1YBtjFCbZJrNuU/edit?usp=sharing) [Here is the folder in general](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tm38ZVAgfJIrvJUi3fg_s3u35650cWjG?usp=drive_link) Most of the links on the wiki are external links to other website, so those didn't need to be changed, but any links to a reddit comment or post has had that content copied onto a google doc in that folder, so it should be accessible without visiting Reddit. When any changes are suggested I'll get a notification and can easily manage it. **Please let me know if anything here needs updating or improving.** The intent is to make the significant resources available for Dungeon World easily available outside of reddit. Thanks!
Hey, I know these kind of things are corny and of an old era of forums and such but I still think it's important to have a good old "welcome" thread at this moment in time :)
I’m looking for something that works well with a new group. What is a [dungeon starter](https://a-dungeon-world.fandom.com/wiki/Dungeon_Starters)? > Dungeon Starters are for those times when you want to just sit down and start a game right right away. Just a couple pages long, Dungeon Starters provide a unified flavor. Among other things, they include some simple details, questions, impressions, custom moves, items and services, spells and monsters. Sometimes there is even a map or visual image or two.
