DW: Minimal GM Companion
A downloadable game
This is my ongoing attempt to make the average GMs life a lot easier! This consolidates the most common info into one convenient booklet, with some handy minimal handouts to give to players. Please provide feedback, suggestions, and reviews here or on the Dungeon World Discord server (discord.me/page/dungeonworld) (@Sentinel Greg)
included -
- GM Companion booklet: an 8 page minimal booklet containing GM principles, moves, damage info, basic moves, special moves, tags, weapon & gear info, hireling info, and NPC creation tools (names, knacks, and instincts)
- Player Handouts: Answer their questions before they need to ask them! Tags, gear & weapon info, basic and special moves!
- Minimal Mapping: B&W map printouts with both Hexgrid and dot matrix layouts.
- GM Workbook: A foldable minimal notebook with space for - Player notes, World and Location notes, NPC & Monster notes, 2 Fronts with 2 Dangers apiece, space for 7 monsters / NPCs and stats / moves, 1 page of dot-matrix grid, which can be used for many purposes (one favorite of mine: outline squares equal to a monsters HP. Damage gets colored in, giving a quick visual reference and keeping it quantifiable) I plan to heavily update this in the future based on your feedback! Please let me know how you use it / don't use it.
- Character Creation Handouts: These are meant to be printed, double sided, then cut in half and passed around. I scoured the DW & RPG community for Name, Look, Drive, Flag, Bond, and Background suggestions, then consolidated them into these handouts! This is somewhat of an experiment, so if you use these, please please report back to me on the pros, cons, and any other observations!
I plan to keep updating this with tweaks and new content! Here are some potential ideas (let me know if any strike you! Note that some of these may get a seperate release, so no promises that they will be included in this pack)
- Perilous Wilds: Travel, Steading, Discovery, and Follower minimal Cheatsheet
- Revamped Monster Creation
- Adding Steading rules and creation to workbook
- Popular community made Custom moves
- Booklet of GM FAQs and Advice
- Alternate Rulesets for Damage, HP, etc.
- Revamped Loot Tables (I’m probably going to replace the one here, cuz it’s a little boring)
(My general philosophy is to provide content Pay What you want, as long as it is simply re-formatting others work! I do think these are helpful improvements, and they take time to do well, so I appreciate payment for whatever you feel that these are worth! The Minimal Core and Alternate Playbooks are based heavily off of others work, so I match their price point to not undercut their sales :)
