I've run Dungeon World about a dozen times since, plus a play by post game that ran for about a year or so. It is always a blast. I ran, I think, 5 games at Dragon Con several years ago and they all went over extremely well. That includes character creation, and I went in with (much) less prep...

Thanks! Wow, it's been almost 5 years since I wrote this. Dungeon World is perhaps still my favorite system to run. Good luck!

I don't know. You're more likely to remember big important things than the small stuff. I'd be more likely to ask for an Int check on "what did I eat for breakfast yesterday" than "when the cultist said we would die, was it by fire or disease?" Seems like the latter I would be waaaay more likely...

The moment is over, and the deed is done. Going forward, I'd have a talk with them about game expectations and how they would like you to handle fudging. If they would rather have let the dice fall where they may in this encounter, then in the future I would say continue what appears to be a...

FYI Emphasis added. I'm not implying that the DM should get on his hands and knees begging forgiveness here... He should swallow his pride, say "Sorry about that. It's my fault, you should have obviously known that the guantlets and ring were at least there since you were appraising the...

The PC even made a very high Int check to appraise the items he was selling, and the DM didn't inform him that there were two extra things in the pile. This was 100% a gotcha. I don't see how it isn't a gotcha when the PC made a very high roll to determine the value of what he was selling, and...

It was described as being stuck on the gauntlet. Whether the players interpreted that as not being able to get it off, not being able to get it off easily, or whatever, they didn't realize that in selling the armor they would also be selling the ring. The situation, thus, wasn't framed in such a...

The ring and suit of armor aren't completely unrelated items?

I think it is incredibly important at this juncture to point out that as soon as the player sold the armor, the way they discovered that the other two items were gone was that they went "Now we're going to sell the gauntlet and ring." The players didn't "forget" that they bundled them together...

This wasn't supposed to be fun, so much as informative. You're joining something people were taking seriously and laughing it up at their expense.

I'm colorblind and it's harder to tell the green/red apart. But, I did think I hit lime green or didn't I? That and yellow look very similar to me in any case so I might have made a mistake.

I do think you're making the (rather dangerous) assumption that the giants won't follow out of the cave, or that they won't just lob rocks at you once in the open. What led you to believe that? If I were running this, trying to run would be a death sentence. I think it would turn this into a...

I would actually say it's the opposite is true. A non-optimized group that uses superior tactics will out-perform an optimized group that uses sub-par tactics in my experience. I don't think it was ever the intention to say that character optimization was the only important thing.

People disagree. This is a test to see why they disagree or see if some consensus can be made between those of differing opinions. Consensus does not seem probable at this point.

This isn't a game. This is a test to see if an optimized party will have trouble with Medium-Hard encounters as outlined in the core rules. And, it is going very poorly right now. I'm with Celtavian on this one. I want to see a truly tactical party. This test proves absolutely nothing if the...
