Character Creation - Dungeon World

Character Creation
Make a character based off of DW rules. Start with Human and we'll see where we get from there. Do think about where you come from and what got your character adventuring in the first place.

As usual, I am happy to wait for others to choose Playbooks, then I can fill in any gaps in the party.
If anyone wants me to play something particular --maybe as a foil to your gem-- let me know, I can try accommodate you. This goes for the GM as well, if you guys even want to experiment with running for a particular Playbook, I am happy to play it.

It might also help to get a roll call for this 'game'. Who is wanting to take part?

vagueGM reporting for duty.

OkumHart: This is your show. You must let us know how much backseat GMing you want from us.
You can set a default at the start and then change your mind at any time. One-off changes are also a way to go "I know I said I wanted lots of input but let me try do this one on my own", or "I know I said I wanted to do this on my own, but what ruling do you all suggest I use here?"

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind as this moves forward.

Something to add to character creation. 1 truth your character knows is inherent to the world (within reason).

GM: Do you have anything to tell us about the world first? Without any guidance 'within reason' might be anything. :)

Oops. I was thinking your average fantasy world, but I'm remembering you posting elsewhere that there should be a world already in mind? So should I spend a little time on world building before hand?

Not necessary. 'average fantasy' is enough, but I did not want to assume.

I will play and I would like to be the Druid.

Great idea, I'll mock up a DW PC from a playbook (Paladin) tonight.

In this short game, your characters were tasked by Gladelf the wizard to find the McGuffin of Mysteries within the Dungeon Deep. Soon after entering the dungeon, your characters find themselves, without a clue as to how or why, at the end of the dungeon in the Cathedral of Containing. Resting before you is the McGuffin of Mysteries upon a raised dais, the very item you have come in search for. You go to make you way out when you realize you have been stripped of your possessions.

What do you do?

I'd like to play too, just tossing up between a Wizard or another Ranger

Is everyone cool with the idea that you start having to find your gear? Or should I nix that and we just do the dungeon backwards?

Fine by me.

Remind me --it has been a while since I read the book-- does DW allow duplicate playbooks?

Yeah Dungeon World has everyone start out as different playbooks. So if there conflicting ideas we can talk it out

Okay, I'll go along with that.

Does this mean ignore all the gear listed on the playbooks, or does it mean something else?

Also I think I will be a Bard, making one now

I was thinking that you pick out what you want, and while in the first few posts you might not have it all, you'll be coming across it as you go.
