Welcome paladintodd.

I see you are new here. What at you hoping to get from this game?

Do you have any past experience: with this game system, PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) games in general, other RPG systems, or with PbP (Play by Post)? It is fine of you don't, we can teach you as we go along.

Take a look at the Help! thread for guidance. Feel free to ask any question here or in the General Chat depending on where they seem relevant.

I'm looking for some entertainment while my regular game is on hiatus and hoping to see the different narrative storytelling style of PbtA.

I'm a many decades gamer. Lots of 3.5/Pathfinder, fair amount of Savage Worlds and FATE, and one short campaign of Dungeon World.

Read through the stuff. Is there a synopsis of the current situation I'm not finding? A quick What's Happening and These Are the Characters?

Is your regular group a PbP group or is PbP also one of the 'different' things you are hoping to see?

Did you read through the Dungeon World book? It is not necessary, I am just calibrating, so we know how to explain anything that comes up.

Arg, no. It is a bit of a mess, I am sure the existing players could benefit from a summary as well. :)
Given the nature of this game, we have had a few players pop in, do a bit and then vanish, so there is a lot there that is not very relevant anymore.

Reading through it will not be the best use of your time, but you are welcome to do so. If you do: Feel free to ask questions, about anything that happened, how things were ruled and how else they could have gone, so you can get a feel for what to expect.
I may read through what we have and create a better summary, but for now:

Following their desire to see the world, Meht and Rook signed on as caravan guards, wandered off and reported late for duty (making themselves a little less popular with the administration than they could have been).
Their places had been filled by NPCs, one of which (Calum) is a criminal who has beef with Rook (but does not recognise Rook quite yet).

This Calum was espied sneaking back into camp last night, and this morning the caravan was ambushed by bandits who appear to have heard about the recent plan to take a different route.

The PCs and their fellow guards fought off the bandits, but sustained injuries.

Meht has made some discoveries about the bandits. There is a map and a tattoo. We (the players) don't know yet what these mean.

That is where we stand.

Regular group is Pathfinder for Savage Worlds via Foundry VTT. The "different" thing I'm hoping to see is the narrative ways of DW versus the simulant aspect of 3.5/SW/5e/etc.

Yes, I've read DW book.

Have you done any Play by Post before?

On a few occassions I've done some PbP. Not a lot.
