Welcome Abhilfe

Welcome @Abhilfe.

We did not hear from you in the recruitment thread or elsewhere, what at you hoping to get from this game?

Do you have any past experience: with this game system (World of Dungeons) or PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) games in general, or 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.

Hello, thank you for accepting me! I didn't know you had to go through the recruiting thread first, sorry.

To be honest, I have very little experience with Tabletop RPGs, I haven't had a lot of irl opportunities. I have no gamersplane experience, however I have a few years of roleplaying experience on various text games like Start wars combine (roleplaying was a big part of it).

I don't know the World of Dungeon game system either. My experience has been a lot with Anima beyond fantasy, Exalted third edition and DnD 3.5. I learn quickly but I haven't really found the rules of the game, so I'm starting from afar.What caught my attention is the lore of the thread you created and I would be happy to participate in this scenario, if however you accept beginners.

Welcome Abhilfe. Hope you'll have as much fun as the rest of us!

It is not required, just a place to tell us a little about yourself and see if our game fits you. But it is also fine to chat about that here.
That's OK, we can teach you what you need to know.
I am not familiar with those systems, and gave up on DnD after reading 3rd edition but never managing to get to the table with any groups. DnD is still a common system so we share a language. :)
All the rules are copied here for easy reference, and the PDFs are linked in the rules thread as well as on the game's Details page.

World of Dungeons is not a 'complete' game, it is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse game ruleset (same way that DnD 3e is based on the D20 system). World of Dungeons assumes you have access to more than what it gives, either in the form of a GM that will hold your hand as you learn, or one of the many full games that also use the rules. If you want to read through one of those, to get an idea of the way the mechanics work, that can help, but is not required.

Probably the closest full game to what World of Dungeons is like would be Dungeon World (World of Dungeons was part of that game's kickstarter rewards), the free SRD contains all the rules from the book, though the book's layout is possibly nicer to read. Apocalypse World is the game that started the whole thing, and is a good read if you like the tone, it contains a lot of good general play advice that can benefit people in all other games. Lots of people say they benefited from reading the Dungeon World Guide (available on the Dungeon World Downloads page), especially when coming from 'traditional' games like DnD.

Again, don't feel like you are required to read those games, they are not this game and you would need to unlearn some stuff, they are just there if that interests you, else you can ask here and we will guide you.
Any specific thread? Or are just talking about the whole game in general? We have had many players come through here, and each has contributed some part of that lore, I just set the overall tone.
Cool. My games are always rather collaborative, so the more you engage with the world and the system the more you will reap, the more you put in the more you get out.
This is explicitly a game for new players, so yes, we accept beginners. :)

Let us know what you need to get started.

Hi Abhilfe!
Welcome :)

I meant the games main page. Where there is the game description.

I will make some reading and get used with rules... and the forum codes as well. On top of my mind there is a question about abilities. Strength vs dex... does dex is used for hit rolls or str? Some game tend to use dex over str... some uses str over dex and some use both depending on the weapon... so I was wondering (started thinking on making my character)

Ah. I should go back and read that again to make sure that it still reflects where the games has gone...

That still looks broadly right, though we have tended slightly more towards the hopeful side.
Let us know if you have any questions that are not answered in your reading (let us know what additional reading you have done so we don't repeat stuff you have already read (you have to read it here anyway:)).
It is almost always fine to just type in normal text and forget about the bbCode. Rather focus on the words you are using and treat any 'formatting' as optional and don't assume anyone else can see it the same way you do (or at all (on a braille reader, maybe?)). We can teach you the forum codes as they come up, but consider them very low priority.
Think about the fiction first. Once you have described what your character is doing, it is usually obvious which Attribute should be used, if it is not clear then either there is not enough fiction to support a roll, or maybe two Attributes apply equally well and you can pick the one that is better for you (in real life, when given a choice of how to do a task, you would probably do the one that you are better at, after all).

Part of World of Dungeons design was the question: "What if every move was just Defy Danger", so you can take a look at the Defy Danger Move on the Dungeon World SRD as a starting point to see something of how it is envisaged. You can also look at the other Moves on there to see what is 'normally used for attacking' and so on, but remember that this is not actually Dungeon World, so treat those as 'examples of how it might be done in another game'.

Welcome, Abhilfe.

I'm very new to pretty much everything RP-ing and can attest to the fact that everyone here is friendly and super helpful. I'm probably testing everyone's patience with my slow wits too. You'll be fine here, I'm sure.

Welcome, Abhilfe.

Just make sure you enjoy yourself :)
