  103. \begin{basicmove}{Last Breath}
  104. When you’re \condition{dying}, you catch a glimpse of what lies

  107. tough or cool you are). \onSuccess, you’ve cheated death—you’re in a
  108. bad spot but you’re still alive. \onPartial, Death will offer you a
  109. bargain. Take it and stabilize or refuse and pass beyond the Black

  121. \end{basicmove}
  122. \begin{basicmove}{Level Up}
  123. When you have downtime (hours or days) and XP equal to (or greater
  124. than) your current level + 7, subtract your current level +7 from
  125. your XP, increase your level by 1, and choose a new advanced move
  126. from your class. If you are the wizard, you also get to add a new
  127. spell to your spellbook. Choose one of your stats and increase it
  128. by 1 (this may change your modifier). Changing your Constitution
  129. increases your maximum and current HP. Ability scores can’t go
  130. higher than 18.
  131. \end{basicmove}
  132. \begin{basicmove}{Carouse}

  148. available here, or non-mundane, roll +CHA. \onSuccess, you find what
  149. you’re looking for at a fair price. \onPartial, you’ll have to pay
  150. more or settle for something similar.
  151. \end{basicmove}
  152. \begin{basicmove}{Recover}
  153. When you \condition{do nothing but rest in comfort and safety},
  154. after a day of rest you recover all your HP. After three days of
  155. rest you remove one debility of your choice. If you’re under the
  156. care of a healer (magical or otherwise) you heal a debility for
  157. every two days of rest instead.
  158. \end{basicmove}
  159. \begin{basicmove}{Recruit}

  172. declares they’d like to come along (a foolhardy youth, a
  173. loose-cannon, or a veiled enemy, for example), bring them and take
  174. the consequences or turn them away. If you turn away applicants you
  175. take -1 forward to Recruit.
  176. \end{basicmove}
  177. \columnbreak
  178. \begin{basicmove}{Outstanding Warrants}
  179. When you \condition{return to a civilized place in which you’ve
  180. caused trouble before}, roll +CHA. \onHit, word has spread of your
  181. deeds and everyone recognizes you. \onPartial, that, and, the GM
  182. chooses a complication:
  183. \begin{itemize}
  184. \item The local constabulary has a warrant out for your arrest
  185. \item Someone has put a price on your head
  186. \item Someone important to you has been put in a bad spot as a result of your actions

  191. practice}, you gain preparation. If you prepare for a week or two, 1
  192. preparation. If you prepare for a month or longer, 3
  193. preparation. When your preparation pays off spend 1 preparation for

  195. \end{basicmove}
  196. \begin{basicmove}{End of Session}
  197. When you reach the end of a session, choose one your bonds that
  198. you feel is resolved (completely explored, no longer relevant, or
  199. otherwise). Ask the player of the character you have the bond with
  200. if they agree. If they do, mark XP and write a new bond with
  201. whomever you wish.
  202. Once bonds have been updated look at your alignment or drive. If
  203. you fulfilled that alignment at least once this session, mark XP.
  204. Then answer these three questions as a group:
  205. \begin{itemize}
  206. \item Did we discover a new place to put on the map?
  207. \item Did we learn something new or interesting about the world or
  208. its inhabitants?
  209. \item Did we overcome a difficult or interesting situation?
  210. \end{itemize}
  211. For each ``yes'' answer everyone marks XP.
  212. Finally, choose two actions from the following list. The same
  213. action can be chosen twice as long as it targets different hexes.
  214. \begin{itemize}
  215. \item The Guild of Explorers sends a scout to a particular
  216. location on the map: reveal the content of one hex.
  217. \item The Guild of Engineers constructs roads, facilitating safe
  218. travel in one hex. Treat travel on this hex as taking a
  219. \move{Safe Journey}.
  220. \item The Guild of Engineers builds an Outpost, facilitating safe
  221. stay in one hex. You do not need to \move{Make Camp} on this
  222. hex, but you still consume rations as usual.
  223. \item The Guild of Engineers builds a Keep on top of an Outpost,
  224. leading way to a town in that hex. The Explorer's Guild in this
  225. town will house and feed you, so you do not need to either
  226. \move{Make Camp} or \move{Manage Provisions} while staying
  227. in this hex.
  228. \end{itemize}
  229. If the players pool together 500 coin, they can also choose a
  230. third action from the above list.

  241. % \textbf{Undertake a Perilous Journey}, \textbf{Forage},

  246. % \textit{escape check}. The \textbf{Botanicals} referenced here are
  247. % borrowed from the role-playing game \textit{Ryuutama}.
  248. \begin{basicmove}{Undertake a Safe Journey}
  249. When you \condition{travel by a safe route} through safe or dangerous
  250. lands, indicate your path and destination on the map. You can
  251. reliably travel \hexes{4} per day during good weather, and \hexes{3} in poor

  253. Provisions}.
  254. \end{basicmove}
  255. \begin{basicmove}{Undertake a Perilous Journey}
  256. When you \condition{travel through dangerous land} and not on a
  257. safe route, indicate the course you want to take on the map and
  258. the destination you'd like to reach. Then, choose one party member

  262. \begin{basicmove}{Forage}
  263. When you \condition{spend a day seeking food in the wild}, roll
  264. +WIS. \onSuccess, collect 1d4 rations and choose 2 from the list

  267. \begin{itemize}
  268. \item You find an extra +1d4 rations.
  269. \item You find 1d4 supply of a useful botanical; ask the GM what

  277. \begin{basicmove}{Make Camp}
  278. When you \condition{settle in to rest}, choose one member of the
  279. party to \move{Manage Provisions}. If you're somewhere dangerous,
  280. then choose someone to \move{Take Watch}. If you have enough XP
  281. you may level up. When you wake from at least a few uninterrupted
  282. hours of sleep heal damage equal to half your max HP.
  283. You usually make camp so that you can do other things, like
  284. prepare spells or commune with your god. Or, you know, sleep
  285. soundly at night. Whenever you stop to catch your breath for more
  286. than an hour or so, you've probably made camp.
  287. Staying a night in an inn or house is making camp, too. Regain
  288. your hit points as usual, but only mark off a ration if you're
  289. eating from the food you carry, not paying for a meal or receiving
  290. hospitality.
  291. \end{basicmove}
  292. \begin{basicmove}{Take Watch}

  296. forward. \onPartial, you react just a moment too late; your
  297. companions in the camp are awake but haven't had time to
  298. prepare. They have weapons and armor but little else. \onMiss,

  308. tactical advantage. Describe it.
  309. \item You make a useful discovery; ask the GM what.

  322. decide where you ended up, and you'll need to \move{Survey} to
  323. get your bearings.

  378. \topbanner{Downtime Rules}
  379. \begin{multicols}{2}
  380. \textbf{Important note: the rules in this section are speculative
  381. and are subject to change as they are tested!}
  382. This campaign is designed around the idea that your character won't
  383. be present at every game, and that's okay! However, just because
  384. your character wasn't involved in an active expedition, that doesn't
  385. mean your character was static. To find out what your character has
  386. been up while other expeditions happened---that is, when other
  387. sessions happened that you weren't present for---you can use these
  388. \textbf{Downtime Moves}.
  389. If you were present at the last session, then don't use any of these
  390. moves: your character is still fresh off their last adventure, and
  391. hasn't had time to spend doing the activities that constitute
  392. downtime.
  393. The rules given here will often tell you to roll +absence, which is
  394. a modifier based on how long since your character took part in an
  395. expedition.
  396. \begin{itemize}
  397. \item If you last played \textbf{two sessions ago}, then +0.
  398. \item If you last played \textbf{more than two sessions ago but in
  399. the past month}, then +1.
  400. \item If you last played \textbf{more than a month ago}, then +2.
  401. \item If you last played \textbf{more than two months ago}, then +3.
  402. \end{itemize}
  403. Note also that the rolls described here are Dungeon World rolls,
  404. which means that it's possible to fail them! You should still mark
  405. XP on failure, and the GM will still introduce a negative
  406. consequence of your roll. If you don't want to risk it, you can
  407. always \move{Attend to Home}, which carries no risk but only a
  408. modest reward, or \move{Cultivate Saplings}, which has benefits
  409. going forward.
  410. \begin{basicmove}{Attend to Home}
  411. If you \condition{spent time quietly, managing your affairs and
  412. working around the explorer's guild}, then take 5 gold per
  413. session since you last played.
  414. \end{basicmove}
  415. \begin{basicmove}{Get That Bread}
  416. When you \condition{spend time doing odd jobs in the city between
  417. expeditions}, roll +absence and select from the following
  418. list. \onSuccess, choose 3. \onPartial, choose 2. \onMiss, choose
  419. 1, but the GM will likely give you another complication: maybe you
  420. agreed to an ill-considered bet, are on the hook for a job, or
  421. simply have attracted some attention that will make things hard
  422. for you in the future.
  423. \begin{itemize}
  424. \item You had a memorable experience: take 1 XP, and explain
  425. what happened to you in the intervening weeks.
  426. \item You did a lucrative job: take 10 gold per session missed,
  427. and explain what job you did and who you did it for.
  428. \item You found an interesting object: the GM will tell you what
  429. object you found, and you'll have to explain how you came
  430. across it.
  431. \item You heard an interesting rumor about some place in the
  432. wilderness: the GM will tell you the rumor, and you'll have to
  433. explain where and how you heard it.
  434. \item You met a potential travelling-partner: treat this as an
  435. automatic 10+ on a \move{Recruit} roll, with the first
  436. session's cost paid. Explain how you met this hireling and why
  437. their first cost is paid. If you want to travel with them
  438. after this session, regardless of whether you take them now,
  439. you'll have to pay their cost as normal.

  444. \begin{basicmove}{Crafting}
  445. When you \condition{spend time in the city creating an object}, seek
  446. the GM's approval that this is feasible, spend an amount of gold
  447. equal to one-quarter the market price of the object in order to
  448. acquire the raw materials and roll +DEX. \onSuccess, you
  449. create the object you wanted. \onPartial, choose 1:
  450. \begin{itemize}
  451. \item The object was costlier than expected: spend an extra 10
  452. gold.
  453. \item The object is of a mediocre quality: add the tag
  454. \itag{shoddy} to the item.
  455. \item The object isn't going to last: add the tag \itag{fragile}
  456. to the item. If you created something that has uses, like a
  457. bottle of poison, then give it one fewer use.
  458. \item The object required a favor: the GM will tell you who you
  459. had to call on and what they expect in return.
  460. \end{itemize}
  461. \onMiss, you fail to create the object, but you can
  462. learn from the attempt: take +1 forward the next time you try to
  463. create the object in question.
  464. \end{basicmove}
  465. \begin{basicmove}{Nose In A Book}
  466. When you \condition{spend time in research on a topic}, roll
  467. +INT. \onSuccess, take 3 hold when dealing with that
  468. topic. \onPartial, take 1 hold instead. You can spend 1 hold to
  469. ask one of the following questions; take +1 forward whenever
  470. asking on the answers
  471. \begin{itemize}
  472. \item What is valuable to me about this thing?
  473. \item What is dangerous to me about this thing?
  474. \item What do I know about the origin of this thing?

  480. \begin{basicmove}{Cultivate Saplings}
  481. When you \condition{spend time growing and cultivating a plant}, tell
  482. the GM what you'd like to grow. You can grow food crops, in which
  483. case you can start all subsequent expeditions with access to 2d4
  484. dungeon rations without charge. Alternately, you can choose to
  485. grow a \textbf{botanical} discovered on a previous expedition, in
  486. which case you can start all subsequent expeditions with access to
  487. 1d4 of that botanical without charge. Tell the GM what you're
  488. growing, and mark on your sheet what your garden contains.

  493. \topbanner{Tags}
  494. \begin{multicols}{2}
  495. \begin{basicmove}{General Equipment Tags}
  496. These are general tags that can apply to just about any piece of
  497. gear. You’ll see them on armor, weapons or general adventuring
  498. tools.
  499. \itag{applied}: It’s only useful when carefully applied to a person
  500. or to something they eat or drink.
  501. \itag{awkward}: It’s unwieldy and tough to use.
  502. \itag{+bonus}: It modifies your effectiveness in a specified
  503. situation. It might be ``+1 forward to spout lore'' or ``-1 ongoing
  504. to \move{Hack and Slash}.''
  505. \ntag{n}{coins}: How much it costs to buy, normally. If the cost
  506. includes ``-Charisma'', a little negotiation subtracts the haggler’s
  507. Charisma score (not modifier) from the price.
  508. \itag{dangerous}: It’s easy to get in trouble with it. If you
  509. interact with it without proper precautions the GM may freely invoke
  510. the consequences of your foolish actions.
  511. \itag{ration}: It’s edible, more or less.
  512. \itag{requires}: It’s only useful to certain people. If you don’t
  513. meet the requirements it works poorly, if at all.
  514. \itag{slow}: It takes minutes or more to use.
  515. \itag{touch}: It’s used by touching it to the target’s skin.
  516. \itag{two-handed}: It takes two hands to use it effectively.
  517. \weight{n}: Count the listed amount against your
  518. Load. Something with no listed weight isn’t designed to be
  519. carried. 100 coins in standard denominations is 1 weight. The same
  520. value in gems or fine art may be lighter or heavier.
  521. \itag{worn}: To use it, you have to be wearing it.
  522. \uses{n}: It can only be used n times.
  523. \end{basicmove}
  524. \begin{basicmove}{Weapon Tags}
  525. Weapons may have tags that are primarily there to help you describe
  526. them (like \itag{rusty} or \itag{glowing}) but these tags have a
  527. specific, mechanical effect.
  528. \ammo{n}: It counts as ammunition for appropriate ranged
  529. weapons. The number indicated does not represent individual arrows
  530. or sling stones, but represents what you have left on hand.
  531. \itag{forceful}: It can knock someone back a pace, maybe even off
  532. their feet.
  533. \ntag{+n}{damage}: It is particularly harmful to your enemies. When
  534. you deal damage, you add n to it.
  535. \ntag{ignores armor}: Don’t subtract armor from the damage taken.
  536. \itag{messy}: It does damage in a particularly destructive way,
  537. ripping people and things apart.
  538. \itag{mystical}: It requires strange knowledge to use properly. When
  539. you \move{Hack and Slack} or \move{Volley} with a weapon with this
  540. tag, use INT instead of STR or DEX.
  541. \ntag{n}{piercing}: It goes right through armor. When you deal
  542. damage with n piercing, you subtract n from the enemy’s armor for
  543. that attack.
  544. \itag{precise}: It rewards careful strikes. When you \move{Hack and
  545. Slash} with this weapon, use DEX instead of INT.
  546. \itag{reload}: After you attack with it, it takes more than a moment
  547. to reset for another attack.
  548. \itag{stun}: When you attack with it, it does stun damage instead of
  549. normal damage.
  550. \itag{thrown}: Throw it at someone to hurt them. If you
  551. \move{Volley} with this weapon, you can’t choose to mark off ammo on
  552. a 7–9; once you throw it, it’s gone until you can recover it.
  553. \end{basicmove}
  554. \columnbreak
  555. \begin{basicmove}{Range Tags}
  556. Weapons have tags to indicate the range at which they are useful.
  557. Dungeon World doesn’t inflict penalties or grant bonuses for
  558. “optimal range” or the like, but if your weapon says \itag{hand} and
  559. an enemy is ten yards away, a player would have a hard time
  560. justifying using that weapon against him.
  561. \itag{hand}: It’s useful for attacking something within your reach,
  562. no further.
  563. \itag{close}: It’s useful for attacking something at arm’s reach
  564. plus a foot or two.
  565. \itag{reach}: It’s useful for attacking something that’s several
  566. feet away— maybe as far as ten.
  567. \itag{near}: It’s useful for attacking if you can see the whites of
  568. their eyes.
  569. \itag{far}: It’s useful for attacking something in shouting
  570. distance.
  571. \end{basicmove}
  572. \begin{basicmove}{Gadget and Spell Tags}
  573. Some playbooks (including the Witch, the Mage, and the Artificer)
  574. will allow you to select tags to associate with a spell you cast
  575. (for the Witch and the Mage) or the gadgets you create (for the
  576. Artificer). These sometimes include the other tags above, like
  577. \itag{forceful} or \ntag{2}{piercing}, but some tags are specific to
  578. spells and gadgets.
  579. \itag{+2 armor vs \blank}: It gives you armor when you're being
  580. damaged by something specific, and not against all kinds of
  581. damage. For example, \itag{+2 armor fire} will protect you against
  582. magical and non-magical fire, \itag{+2 armor vs. ammo} will protect
  583. you from ranged weapons, or \itag{+2 armor vs. environment} will
  584. protect you from sudden falls or rubble.
  585. \itag{elemental (\blank)}: It deals damage associated with a
  586. particular element. For example, \itag{elemental (fire)},
  587. \itag{elemental (ice)}, or \itag{elemental (electric)}.
  588. \itag{alternate movement(\blank)}: It allows you to move from place
  589. to place using the listed method, which might affect the places you
  590. can get to, or how easy or fast it is to get to those places . For
  591. example, \itag{alternate movement(hover)}, \itag{alternate
  592. movement(jumping)}, \itag{alternate movement(climbing)},
  593. \itag{alternate movement (swimming)}, or \itag{alternate
  594. movement(ethereal)}.
  595. \itag{debilitating (n damage)}: It will stun, slow, or weaken an
  596. enemy hit by it, in a method you describe, but it will do less
  597. damage as specified by the modifier (such as \itag{debilitating
  598. (half damage)} or \itag{debilitating (-1 damage)}).
  599. \itag{n targets (n damage)}: It will apply to more enemies than
  600. usual, but it will do less damage as specified by the modifier (such
  601. as \itag{2 targets (half damage)} or \itag{2 targets (-1
  602. damage)}).
