Dungeon World Variants (lemmy.ca)

I like Dungeon World, but there are some things I don't like. I don't like the damage dice especially. It makes it more like D&D than I want to be.

I have seen mention of some variants, and I checked out the free version of Chasing Adventure which seemed more like what I was looking for.

What are the other Variants people have played, and what are they like?

Yes! If I want some kind of mage/spellcaster in my game, I go for Unlimited Dungeons variant. Bot DW and HbW mage variants are disappointedly limited

If you want spellcasting to be even more freeform, Mixed Adventure follows more the logic of most other moves, were the player describes what the character does and their intention. Each "school/domain", doesn't have their own move. It just determines how the fiction can be shaped by the character.

Edit: Updated the link

~~Can you share mage playbook?~~ Never mind, I've taken it from cached reddit page)))

Oh dear o_O ! I pasted in the wrong link.. Here is the right link (i hope). There is a folder with the individual playbooks as well.

I am also working on making a "Proper" file like with the other hacks, explaining some of the changes.
