Hackable and FREE PbtA Fantasy RPG | World of Dungeons

[@QuestingBeast]

Oh man, I played a lot of World of Dungeons. Just using that core system always worked much better than using a full suite of "moves". So light and elegant, although the magic was too freeform for me.

[@JocularJunction]

Nice!

[@shawnmurphy6670]

I agree. I bought Dungeon World but this is what I opted to play.

[@MatthewBoyce]

It's worth knowing that World of Dungeons was created as a stretch goal on the Kickstarter for Dungeon World, quoting from the Kickstarter:

Really happy to see your channel grow into a bunch of indie/osr stuff.

"Loayal and EFECTIVE (not effectionate) animal companion." I love this game and it has become a staple of our group. WoDu, like so many PbtA games has been adapted and expanded upon by others. And indeed, I have expanded my own version of this to suit my game world. Glad to see it getting noticed.

This is my one of my all time favorites. It’s not only my go to one shot engine, but I’ve used it for year long campaigns as well. I read game systems for fun sometimes, and I run other systems every once in a while, but I always come back to this either vanilla or Ben and Jerry’s modified.

I don’t normally agree that progression requires more powerful abilities. Games that develop characters horizontally vs. vertically are great for long-term play. More tools, not more powerful tools. You hit on the real plus of this game in the end. Lite rules make it easier to tinker or use lots of cool things from other games or blogs as needed.

[@renansoares272]

Hi! Do you have good examples of rpgs that do horizontal progress? I know some, but they are allways so "freeform"... i feel unsuported as a New GM.

[@JuddKarlman]

Name table also has place names if you'd like to flesh out the world. We're using this as a municipal dungeon crawling game. A fun starting point...

[@midnightgreen8319]

Thanks again for putting a spotlight on other games. Your Dungeon Crawl Classics videos are amazing

[@JocularJunction]

Thanks! Working on another DCC video right now!

[@oKingLexx]

I love Wodu, i play it exclusively and hack for everything i need. Superheroes, wastelands, space games. Its the perfect cinematic play.

[@Nerdarchy]

Good stuff! Didn't realize you had these other channels. -Nerdarchist Dave

[@JocularJunction]

Thanks! Branched out, I wanted to make some indie RPG content felt a new channel was the best option. :)

[@actortimmah42]

You didn't cover "Make your own class". Want that Cleric to use more magic? Take Summon and Cure. Bam. A "celestial" spirit summoning healer.

[@jasoncferrer]

Agreed, a lot of hidden workability in the game.

[@cybermerlyn2]

If you search "world of dungeons hacks" you will find out there are hacks of this one for Shadowrun, Western, Star Wars, Gamma world. I am sure I am just scratching the surface. I do like the simplicity of the system. I love the retro look. If I were to teach someone how to play D&D this might be a good primer before you let them loose with d20s.

7:50 Original PbtA XP system is still used by Dungeon World, just FYI 👍

[@Noobirus]

I just wanted to say, that after watching your older videos I finally decided to buy a DCC set and start a campaign. Thanks for promoting non D&D games.

[@midnightgreen8319]

It's a fantastic system! It's completely replaced D&D for me for good!

[@JocularJunction]

Awesome! I'm running a longer game of DCC right now and loving it

[@midnightgreen8319]

@@JocularJunction it's become my favorite game system ever.

[@midnightgreen8319]

@@go_outside yeah I want to start running at my local game store as well. It's a great game that sadly gets overshadowed by 5E

[@midnightgreen8319]

@@go_outside I agree. The OAR series is the only 5e adventures I own, but wow are they great. They material Goodman adds absolutely fits like it was meant to go there.

[@ryderma1]

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the preview.

[@B00Radl33]

The magic system is really awesome. I've played with a wizard who chose fire and earth, and I've played with shadow and whispers. I'm not 100% sold on the quick silver rule but the name magic is simple and creative. I love it.

[@actortimmah42]

Also, "PET VOLLY"! So much yes!

[@JocularJunction]

I'm on board for pet volley

[@stevesmith5963]

Haha! I read the special abilities the same way! Cure Vision sounds good and who wouldn't want a Hardy Slay? LOL

[@BryanMullins]

Hey, I LOVE this little game and I’m glad you covered it! Maybe you’d consider looking at ‘Freebooters on the Frontier’ or ‘Funnel World’ ? Maybe? ❤️‍🔥🤘

[@gran9968]

You should check out 6e by Jared Sinclair! Another awesome, OSR + PBTA type game!

[@GoblinLord]

do you have a link? I'm curious
