Dungeon World Narrative Game System

About two years ago Dungeon World wrapped up their successful Kickstarter, and Sage Kobold Productions entered the forefront of tabletop roleplaying games. The game quickly found favor with countless dungeon masters, and players around the world. The modern rules mixed with old-school style seemed to be just what the gaming community wanted.

Since that time many blog and video reviews have continued to support the game systems bold claims.  Simple Rules, Dynamic Play, Classic Adventuring, and Highly Customizeable being the key features touted. Many actual play recordings, from some of the highest rated podcasts on iTunes, have also showcased Dungeon World.

One of my favorite examples od Dungeon World at work so far is from The Esoteric Order of Roleplayers. They took a break from Deadlands for one session to try the indie RPG Dungeon World. And in moments their featured players Des, Jen, Jade, Dave, and Brendan - all new to Dungeon World - picked up the rules and exhibited some excellent gameplay.

And get this! Dungeon World - while a highly successful Kickstarter from a commercial firm - is still shared openly and freely online! Dungeon World's entire text is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. That means you are free to make anything based on Dungeon World for fun and profit so long as you credit Dungeon World. That spirit of openness has led to all kinds of player and game master created supplements.

I am beginning to explore the Dungeon World system for possible improvements to Realms of Adventures going forward. There are many ways to use Realms of Adventures right now - to explore different themes. However, the focus on narrative story advancement with every round is what piqued my interest in Dungeon World!

Adventure Begins: April 1, 2014 - Create Your Character Now!

The very first adventure released by Realms of Adventures has just been announced. What began as a short play-by-email expedition for a single solo-adventurer to enjoy, has grown into a full fledged adventure. The encounters serve as the perfect entry into the Realms of Adventures for new players.

'The Secret Vaults of Kas the Betrayer'
is a quest into forgotten halls built by a rouge Dwarf and his band of engineers and stone cutters. The story is forgotten legend now, merely an insignificant footnote of the Third Age. However, if the stories are true then the Vault must be explored extensively - at once.

Create your character now
and join the adventure with a group of players from around the world. Explore the Realms of Adventures Races List, and Class List to decide how you will venture forth into the Realms.

Touch base with all the friends you know would enjoy a new adventure, and invite them to come along. Success in the darkened corridors of Kas the Betrayer's Secret Vaults will require a variety of skills, and many sharp minds.

You didn't think Kas the Betrayer would simply let you waltz in and take his hard won treasure - did you?
