Yeah! I think so too. He seemed to have fun with everything else, it was just the rolling he was hung up on.
I'm hoping that the next session we have (mid-Jan, curse you holidays D: ) will be better for him and he can enjoy it more.
@GiantKumquat
I wasn't trying to punish them all that much, tbh. He was the only one to fail a discern realities, and I just had him find a set of notes that contained part of a ritual for a huge, big bad flesh golem (to imply what was going on in the dungeon they found themselves kn).
Other than that, what I think he was upset about was when you get a mixed success in hack n slash you take damage, and if you fail even a normal, non-combat roll I get to make a move.
He's willing to give it more time, and we have at least 2 or 3 more sessions to go in this adventure. - 4/4
Which is technically true, but you have an equal chance of succeeding, when you take into account the mixed success. Honestly, I just think he's having a hard time reconciling dnd and dw. In dnd it doesn't seem punitive when you fail, but you miss opportunities easily and failing a roll can mean life or death, and most of the time you have an over 50% chance of failing outright.
Other than that though, people seem optimistic about the change - 3/4
Our wizard was upset by the way the rolls work, it seems. He thought it was too negative/punitive because even on a simple non-combat roll, I get to make a "hard" move when they fail (which in the case that set him off, I just revealed a hard truth during a discern realities check). He was saying you have a higher chance of being punished than not in the system - 2/4
So Saturday we had our first #pbta game with my friends. Everyone's first time with the system, which seemed to be a little bit of a tricky switch over for us after playing dnd for like 3 years. Character creation went really well, just had to clarify a few things here and there. Gameplay did as well, though people didnt seem to like the no initiative part (easily fixed for next time, as we're adding a house rule for it) - 1/4
My #pbta dungeon world game is tonight and I havent written down anything for my prep yet 😬

aw hell, sorry! D:
Oooh, why the change? (Sorry, just curious  )
Everytime I post anything on this site I can't help but say "Toot!" out loud when I hit the button.
@artisticfennec
That's relatable as hell. Has he ever shown anyone his face in the past?
