Dungeon World By Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel What Is This? Dungeon World is a roleplaying game that uses sweet modern roleplaying techniques to create an old school adventure game feel.

The cool modern ideas are mostly from Apocalypse World, D Vincent Baker’s game of a post-apoctalyptic wasteland. The rollicking adventure feel is taken from editions of Dungeons and Dragons from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons through 4th Edition.

The first Apocalypse World/Dungeons and Dragons hybrid was Tony Dowler’s Apocalypse D&D. This is a continuation of Tony’s great ideas to a bigger game. Dungeon World isn’t a good choice for a first roleplaying game unless you have someone else to guide you. Don’t let that scare you, it’s easy to play and run, it’s just built on ideas from a lot of other games.

We’ve tried to make Dungeon World as self-contained as possible, but you’ll probably need to have at least read Apocalypse World. No Dungeons and Dragons experience is necessary, you just need a strong idea of the dungeon delving feel.

What Do I Need To Play? Some stuff to write with and 2d6 for each person, plus some dice in other sizes for damage. You should also already be familiar with Apocalypse World and at least know the basic tropes of D&D. No AD&D experience necessary.

GMs and Players Dungeon World uses Game Master and player roles like many other games. Each player controls one character, the GM describes the world, monsters, and everything outside of the player characters.

Setting

Printing

The setting for Dungeon World is a fantasy world filled with monsters and adventures. That’s all we’re going to say, the rest is up to you. There’s no list of places, monsters, or deites, that’s all for everyone at the table to fill in together.

At some point you’ll probably want to print this game. The best way to get ready for a session is to print:

Characters The characters are all skilled but untested adventurers. At the start of the game they all know each other, but you don’t have to worry about that, the rules will make sure that happens. You can give as much more detail to their shared past as you want, but the rules will make sure the basics are there.

The Flow of Play The basic structure of Dungeon World is that the GM describes the world (including monsters, supporting characters, and locations) and the players say what they do.

The only time anyone picks up the dice is when the rules say you have to, and only the players will ever roll the dice. The things in the rules that make you roll are called moves, they’re the things you do that make you powerful adventurers. A move always says when it happens. For example you Discern Realities when you study a situation, area, or person. If a player says their character does something that isn’t a move, it just happens and the GM describes the result. If a player says their character does something that is a move, they have to roll the dice.

A move’s roll is always 2d6 + a stat. Roll 2d6, add your stat modifier: if the result is 10+ you’ve succeeded admirably, 7-9 you’ve succeeded, but with complications, and 2-6 the GM takes the opportunity to make something bad happen. Version 10.08.25

Thanks Dungeon World wouldn’t exist without Tony Dowler and John Harper. The original Apocalypse D&D playtesters were Brandon Amancio, Philip LaRose, and Gabe Shapiro. Some of the early Dungeon World players were Jenni Higgenbotham, Anna Kreider, Daniel Lofton, Isaac Milner, Paul Riddle, Shannon Riddle, and Daniel Solis.

Basic Moves

The basic rule of making a move is: to do it, do it. If you say you do something that’s a move, the move happens. That’s it. Some notes on terminology: ✦✦If a move tells you to take +1 forward, take +1 to your next roll. ✦✦A fight means both sides are going at each other. ✦✦Danger is whatever horrible thing you’re risking: traps, magic, attacks, whatever. ✦✦Enemies are monsters and people you want to beat.

GM Rules

GM, this is what you do. You’ll probably need to reference the Apocalypse World MC rules to get the details, but this sheet tells you how your rules are different in Dungeon World. You can also take advice from the various Dungeons and Dragons books, but everything here takes precedence over anything else in Apocalypse World or D&D.

Agenda

When you sit down at the table, these are the things you’re going to do. ✦✦Make the world fantastical ✦✦Make the players’ characters’ lives not boring ✦✦Play to find out what happens

Principles

The principles are ways that you achieve your agenda. These are things that you do all the time, you can’t give up on any of them.

✦✦Weave epic fantasy ✦✦Address the characters ✦✦Make your move but misdirect ✦✦Make your move but never speak its name ✦✦Name NPCs, Stereotype Monsters ✦✦Ask provocative questions ✦✦Respond with trickery and intermittent rewards ✦✦Think outside the dungeon too

Moves

Moves are what you do when the players fail a roll, or when they hand you an opportunity. Unlike the players, you don’t roll for your moves, you just say what happens. But be careful to never tell the players what the move is! Just describe something that fits the move.

✦✦Take away their stuff ✦✦Split them up ✦✦Introduce a monster or NPC ✦✦Roll on a random table ✦✦Make the monster’s special move or activate a trap ✦✦Put someone in a tight spot ✦✦Inflict harm as per the situation ✦✦Announce future trouble ✦✦Announce trouble off-screen ✦✦Negate their advantage ✦✦Give them a tough choice ✦✦Reveal an ugly truth ✦✦Use up resources (like torches, food, ongoing spells)

Character Creation

These are the steps you should guide the players through during character creation. The each step is addressed to the player.

Roll or Choose Stats

For each game of Dungeon World you can choose one type of stat generation. Neither is ‘the one way’ to do it, just choose whichever fits. Rolling stats means you roll 3d6 for each stat, in order. You can reroll if the total of your modifiers is 0 or less. This method is totally old school and brutal.

Choosing means you assign these scores to the stats of your choice: 17, 16, 15, 12, 10, 8. Characters with these scores will be more balanced and playable in the long run.

Figure Out Modifiers

Next you need to figure out the modifiers for your stats. From now on only the modifiers matter, you won’t actually use the raw scores much. Stat
