Welcome all! I'm new to GMing, and if I'm not mistaken, you are all new to DW! This should work out well.

This will be our "process" as I see it:

Step 1- create a character.
Step 2- world building. This is where we fill in some details on people and places. Relationships are formed. This may take a few days as there's a lot of back and forth to ensure everyone contributes something meaningful to the world. This conversation is a huge part of DW and will continue once we begin playing.
Step 3- The set-up begins and we play!

For the record I am starting completely from scratch. I have nothing prepared as of this moment and look forward to seeing what you all will bring to the table! I ask for your patience as I try this format out.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Feb 11, 2016 4:29 pm
Don't worry, you'll do great. You picked some aggressively creative people I think. :)
Feb 11, 2016 9:57 pm
Creative? I'm, just slightly crazy. Haha! No problem, I am really excited to try this out, barely dipped into this system before, but I wish I have done that.

Long night tonight (good though, board gaming) so I'll get caught up on everything tomorrow. Thanks for running the show!!
Feb 13, 2016 5:01 am
Got the rules downloaded and will be creating some type of Ranger tomorrow (Elven? Probably...)
Feb 16, 2016 12:11 am
Since I'm calling this game a "One-Shot", I'll likely rip off the bandaid sooner rather than later. Any last questions or comments?
Feb 16, 2016 1:21 am
Aye, I have wandered far from my frozen home in the north, and I am ready for you to... rip thy aid from this band., as you have said.
OOC:
No other questions from me, I am excited to start this.
Feb 16, 2016 1:35 am
Yeah, what the tree-head said. Let's light this torch. I hear there's gold to be earned around here. Hopefully dishonestly.

Good to go!

I'm good.
Feb 16, 2016 1:12 pm
Let the chaos begin! Feel free to post/respond whenever you want. There is no such thing as "turn order". Everything that happens is going on simultaneously.
Feb 16, 2016 11:59 pm
Just a note to everyone. I generally can not post during the week days (Eastern US Time) as I'm at work and don't have access (although I occasionally sneak in a simple post from my phone).
Feb 17, 2016 12:35 am
No worries, most of my games are paused. There on-the-go weekend or I guess late night Rping... snickers.
Feb 22, 2016 3:10 am
I gotta say, I've been playing D&D so long that it's really hard to get out of that mindset! Arrgggh
Feb 22, 2016 3:19 am
Super glad to see this in action. I'm working on trying to get an IRL group to play this. Super excited to try it.
Feb 22, 2016 2:20 pm
So quick check does Rurgosh come off as a little creepy?
Feb 23, 2016 12:22 am
Remnant:
Yes. In the best of ways.

Szemely:
Reach just means your weapon can reach up to ten feet. It's mostly used to judge is an action you take with the weapon seems feasible in the narrative. Distances are space is loose in this system, but we have to at least try and do possible and feasible things.
Feb 23, 2016 4:18 am
Give my brain a day or two to recover from the weekend and I'll have another post up.
Feb 24, 2016 3:11 pm
So it sounds like we have three coming in from the door way we entered by and some more from another direction (possibly the owner in there). Plus Mouse trying to steal something without getting killed... this falls into the normal fantasy rpg troupe for me. FYI if Mouse gets stuck I have lose no sleep by tripping these long leggers so he has some quicker stepping stooges to get out of the danger zone. }=q
Mar 1, 2016 2:45 pm
*checks pulse* Also Happy March!
Mar 1, 2016 2:47 pm
Happy March. I think Moofs got busy. On the plus side I've gotten some people and have started running an IRL game of DW. So far lots of laughs
Mar 3, 2016 3:11 am
I'm not gonna lie- I got sucked into a game of Subterfuge on iOS. It is draining my brain and my life right now, but it will be over in a few days and I will swear off it so I can return to pbf and also not get fired.
Mar 3, 2016 3:17 am
Lol! If I wasn't playing I would offer to co-GM the game. Try not to get fired! We will be here when you get back. At least I will.
Mar 3, 2016 3:25 am
I'm gonna try to continue to post this week but guys, do not go down that rabbit hole. I've never been this stressed over a game.
Mar 3, 2016 3:48 am
I had the same problem with Fallout 4 during the Christmas break. :-)
Mar 3, 2016 4:02 am
My time suck is currently Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes on iOS.

Dumb question damage is just a d8 right?
Mar 4, 2016 2:30 pm
Your damage dice depends on your character. I think yours is a d8. I think mine is a d6.
Mar 4, 2016 4:55 pm
Well if I got it wrong I can reroll.
Mar 4, 2016 8:15 pm
Looked it up. I actually had it backwards. Yours is a d6, mine is a d8.
Mar 5, 2016 12:57 am
Thanks
Mar 9, 2016 1:32 pm
Well that went badly... *shakes PhantomNimbus hand* Nice knowing Mouse.

Also dumb question do we add our strength to a damage roll?
Last edited Mar 9, 2016 1:33 pm
Mar 9, 2016 2:24 pm
On the strength roll, no. It's just your damage dice and then you get pluses for certain weapons.

Mouse is about to have a bad day.

Well I was trying to help and give you a wicked awesome double jump 360 panning action scene... unfortunately I might have just hit you in the face...

Edit: Uh my bad.

On the plus side we both get an XP for our failures.
Mar 16, 2016 2:44 pm
Dumb question do I roll my Rotes the same way I do spells?
Mar 23, 2016 3:48 am
Will post an update Thursday!
Mar 23, 2016 6:54 am
Please don't kill poor mouse! Lol.
Mar 26, 2016 12:36 am
What does Reszket have to do to get to Mouse's position?
Mar 26, 2016 1:49 am
Fail miserably. You'll be where I am in no time!
Mar 26, 2016 2:15 am
Can do! :-)
Apr 3, 2016 2:44 am
You can try discerning realities to find a way down. Or there's the 'fall into the hole and see what happens' method.
Apr 3, 2016 5:01 pm
Jumping in!!
Apr 13, 2016 12:18 pm
I've come to the realization that I don't know how to run a One-Shot and have been wracking my brain on how to (eventually) wrap things up while still tying it back to the main plot(s) as established in the lay of the lands. Hmmmm.
Apr 13, 2016 12:46 pm
Take your time, we don't know the system that well and we have no idea for the most part what all you have to figure out on your side. Besides make Mouse cry...

No worries. Take your time I mean it's not like you'll end it like, you all die of plague the end lets go get pizza.

*grumbles about a Warhammer Fantasy RPG one shot*
Apr 14, 2016 4:52 am
Don't worry, my Gamma World One shot felt aimless until I just sort of made a few main points for the party to try and hit. You're doing just fine so far. :)
Apr 14, 2016 10:03 pm
Wait a second, there's pizza?
Apr 14, 2016 10:58 pm
Pizza falls from the sky. What do you do?
Apr 14, 2016 11:15 pm
Live happily ever after.
Apr 14, 2016 11:20 pm
The pizzas contains anchovies, burnt chicken, pineapple, and something resembling lettuce.
Apr 14, 2016 11:22 pm
You're just plain evil!

I got a nine D=
May 18, 2016 2:13 am
Sorry Moofs. I'm cleaning up my games, I'm going to drop out of this one. If you start up another one at some point I'll try and join in.
May 20, 2016 12:14 pm
Going to do the same. Thanks for the intro to the system, if you start this one (or another) up again, let me know.
May 20, 2016 12:38 pm
I'd like to know how it would have wrapped up.. in the meantime *lurks*
May 20, 2016 3:58 pm
I'm going to continue this one way or another. Stay tuned!
May 20, 2016 4:02 pm
Yay.. Pokes his one XP (I got into another game I learned so much from my death scene)
May 20, 2016 7:59 pm
Also- For Discern Realities- which question do you want to ask from the list below?

*What happened here recently?
*What is about to happen?
*What should I be on the lookout for?
*What here is useful or valuable to me?
*Who’s really in control here?
*What here is not what it appears to be?
May 23, 2016 11:34 pm
What here is not what it appears to be?
May 24, 2016 1:45 pm
That the game is isn't dead. XD

My bad autocorrect... maybe it's been in standby mode due to being energy saving compliant.
Jun 29, 2016 7:50 pm
fyi I'll be on 'vacation' out of state starting the 1st going through to the 10th of July. I'll likely have time if I have service to at least keep up on reading threads if they progress but I make no promises on daily postings.
Jun 29, 2016 9:27 pm
No worries, as I am clearly the world's slowest poster. I refuse to let this game die tho. I'm stubborn like that.
Jul 20, 2016 4:18 am
Rurgosh- pick 3 questions from the Discern Realities list.
Jul 20, 2016 3:02 pm
-What should I be on the lookout for?
-What here is useful or valuable to me?
-What here is not what it appears to be?
Jul 29, 2016 3:20 pm
Just a heads up, between a Biker festival in the area a Fleetwood mac cover band this weekend coming to town (No idea who Fleetwood Mac is really but I love my wife so I might end up taking her) and Gen Con next week I'm going to call it I'll be spotty or not posting until after August 9th. Yes this is a blanket statement for all the games I'm in.
Jul 29, 2016 4:27 pm
Ha- Fleetwood Mac is old school. My husband is a fan. Enjoy!
Aug 8, 2016 2:27 pm
We didn't end up going since the Mrs. Didn't feel good. Also back from Gen Con. -_- Tired AF.
