Dungeon World - Reverse Dungeon RP

Do you want us to talk in first or third person?

Third person. vagueGM explained it well in another of our group threads why it's better to post in third person, but dialogue will be in first person.

Link if anyone is interested.
This is your game though, OkumHart, you are free to dictate whatever style you prefer. Experimenting to see if I was right is very valid.

If the others want to give it a try I am game. As I'll be GMing posting in first person won't be something I'd do anyway, and there won't be a lot of NPC's in this dungeon.

I am trying to trigger Discern Realities

Oops, in my enthusiasm I forgot how unwise Edwyn is - triggering this move was probably itself incredibly unwise!

Should I be translating these move questions into third person too? Also, whew: I'm glad that wasn't a miss!

The questions are asked by the player, out of character, so Edwyn is not asking them and might not even be aware of them.

However, how you describe your character learning the information will heavily impact the types of answers your GM will give you.
A common question the GM will ask is "How do you learn that answer?" (or sometimes "How could you possibly learn that?") and if the player can not show, in the fiction, how it is possible, the question is not valid. The GM is on your side, though, so they should do their best to help you realise in the fiction what you are trying to do, they may know more about the scene and can suggest ways to learn answers.
For instance there is currently nothing in the fiction that could possibly answer 'What is about to happen?', so that question may not be viable at this time. But, if asked, the GM could always introduce a ticking clock (maybe a sound from outside) to suggest impending doom or something. Or they might say: "Nothing. You have a moment to catch your breath. It should be safe for a while."
Answers like "There is nothing more you can learn on that subject" are not a waste of time, they are very valuable. They tell the players, in unambiguous terms, that they should move on. 'What should I be on the lookout for?' or 'What here is useful or valuable to me?' answered with "Nothing" is awesome, we know to stop looking.

Sometimes we get to ask more questions than we actually can, given the fiction, then we just ask however many make sense. If a Move option does not make sense, don't pick it. :)

Edited italics.
Also working on descriptions so still working on getting the wording and language to feel right.
And I think we should wait until we get another poster in to interact with.

How do we want to handle helping (is it called Aid in this game?).
By RAW we need to declare before the roll, but that can really slow down PbP since we have to wait --on each roll-- for everyone to say if they are, or are not, helping.
I usually find it better to allow people to offer to Help after the roll, and only if we see it will make a difference (if they got a 4 there is nothing we can do to either Aid or Interfere with them, so no need to bother waiting). They still need to show in the fiction how they are helping, either by stepping in (if that is the only way) or by a flashback to them being involved all along.
Honestly I usually play this way live as well. The little bit of extra tension we get from being mixed up in any negative consequences is less than the disappointment of declaring Help, rolling it, getting a 10+ and then having the prime-roller roll a 4, or a 14 and it meant nothing.

I forgot to write anything after quoting and editing :/

I think that was an answer, but I did mean for there to be another question mark at the end of the first sentence. It was meant as a question. :)

Do we assume this sort of information is relayed to the other characters?
I sometimes have players be explicit about what they don't tell the rest.

I would say up to the individual. I like your emphasis on don't, gives more choice to the player.

Hmm...
Was that an answer to 'what should I be on the lookout for?'? It does not seem so. Unless it was a 'there is nothing to be on the lookout for', which is valid given Jon's non-technical nature.

A Note from the book (emphasis is mine):

---

Footnotes:
* Always here means without needing a DR roll

Still working on my answers. Let's see if this is better.

Is that better?

Hey to work out my next post I need to clarify two things re my last one
1. Verrain, did you miss the post, or is Gareth ignoring Edwyn's question? It might change what Edwyn does next
2. OkumHart, did you also miss it, or did you not respond because Gareth didn't?

I'm new at this, so still working out what these interactions mean.

You asked what I found and if I thought it was safe to pick up and I told you that the pedestal would rise if disturbed and that it could be turned. If you are asking about the third part, I guess my choice to fiddle with the pedestal is my answer to the lore sharing suggestion.

Oh I misread that sorry! I thought the whole post was addressing Jon. Sorry for misunderstanding, cheers for the clarification!

theatreofcomets I did miss your question. No as I am learning I do not think you need to spout lore about the Dungeon Deep. What you do know is that the Dungeon Deep is known to very magical and changes each time it is entered. No maps that have made it out are the same, and it has been home to many different objects of importance.

I too am working on how much of the system works and how to write well in PbP.

"Give me a hand here Jon. Let's twist the pedestal and see what happens." He plans to move it until the dark line on the base points at the fake door. That action was in a post of mine on page 2. I have been waiting for you to tell me what happens when I try to twist the pedestal.

My bad.

Go for it!

Not sure if this works as a combo of Aid and DR

Feel free to ask questions about the scene. Might give me inspiration and make your view clearer.

Gareth, before you changed shape you had been looking down the goblin tunnel. How far into it did you go? Just peek your head beyond the threshold, fully step inside(5fy) or walk in a short distance(10ft)?

Since I moved on so quickly, just a peek inside. Also, can you specify what Stat I roll for the new moves?

*Strike from Above would use Dex, *Reveal Nature's Wisdom will use Wis(shocker), and *Your Hunger Drives You to Hunt will use Cha as it is your will against your instinct.
