During group character creation, GMs should first provide a copy of each available playbook. In a classic DW, only one character of each class exists in the world. If you are the bard, you are the only bard in the known world, though there are minstrels and other types of musicians. Therefore, each player must select a different class from everyone else.

In a Dungeon world campaign, players narratively create details about people, places, and things as the game proceeds. Specific details about the character races (size, skin color, cultural stereotypes) don't need to rely onestablished fantasy world tropes. The "who", "what", "where", "how", and "why" of each DW game thereby becomes its own fiction. Below are the class/race combinations in classic Dungeon World, which link to their unique starting move. .
The most functional part of the NPC sheet is the "damage" label; it is in fact a button, which rolls whatever is in the field directly to its left. This can be any formula which could be placed within double brackets, though generally it will be a simple roll like "1d10" or "1d12." Sometimes, the description for a Monster in dungeon world will have the following notation: b[2d12]. This means the best out of two d12 rolls, and can be expressed in Roll20 with the following: 2d12kh1. Conversely, w[2d12] is the lower of two d12's, so you'd input 2d12kl1 instead. For more information, see the Dice Reference.
Having XP when you fail? I thought that was a really good move too. How they handle death and so on all fitting on one sheet, no complaints from me (the special moves) but now we get to where dungeon world is a bit lacking and I would agree with you probably.
Setting plays an important part in character creation. Vampire squids might not belong in a serious courtroom drama set during WWII. The setting of a game always determines its characters by setting parameters about the game world. Beyond this, standard level, some games use setting even more actively.
Overall it ran smoothly and the procedures seemed easy for the new players to understand. The collaborative world building and bonds could easily be overlaid on D&D for a referee that did not want to spend time in more detailed prep and seems lighter than many other procedural alternatives such as running a game of Microscope. It might be difficult to calibrate hazard clues and difficulty by improv, though I think it would be doable with practice (I have certainly improvised fair but deadly traps in OD&D before). An exploration game could possibly be done by roughly outlining some key spatial and structural relationships and then determining the interstices during play. This would allow a sense of impartiality beyond collaborative interchange (though that is a form of discovery as well). By default, the content included in Dungeon World seems to shift the tone and atmosphere toward D&D style fantasy. Resisting that would require extensive preparation (new classes, new moves, etc), though perhaps still not more than required for building settings and dungeons for traditional D&D. 2ff7e9595c
