So, I’ve been working on a sort of “Syllabus” for new Dungeon World GMs (like myself) – all the “best of” documents I’ve found from around the interwebs – with or without Google Drive links. I’ve also created two semi-useful docs, one around “Opening Scenes” for the first session, and another with a list of useful questions to ask during worldbuilding. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts, as well as contributions!

When Can You Aid? As in the Aid/Interfere move. How do you all actually do it at your tables?
Gregory Daily and others (who I cant tag because their names don’t come up on the stupid list even though I type it in exactly: Chris Stone-Bush, Peter J, Andrea Serafini):
This is something I worked up with several of the idea that were being talked about. A deck would be separated into 3 stacks: STR/DEX, CON/INT, and WIS/CHA. Each player would be dealt 1 card from each stack and can choose 1 card to discard, drawing a new card from the same stack.
The card has a damage die modifier (default is d6, and the die symbol on the card will have an up or down arrow, or a dash meaning no change).
Also, an HP modifier is included. Maybe base 16 or something, then each card modifies that total.
Move name and move appropriate to the category it’s drawn from.
The bottom of the card has your modifiers (in this case STR + 2 and DEX + 0, but Called Shot would probably have STR + 0 and DEX + 2).
There’s also a bond on each card, and you get to pick one bond and one player to apply that too.
This setup gives you 3 moves, all six stats, 1 bond, your damage die and HP. Additional thoughts include text along a side edge giving your starting equipment.

Tendril (d6 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
Special Qualities: Sprays Yellow Musk Zombie Pollen
The yellow musk creeper is a hideous plant that grows in haunted graveyards, grisly battlefields, and other places where death hangs heavy in the air and thick in the soil. The yellow musk creeper’s method of procreation is singularly frightful—it slays the living, infests them with its seeds and pollen, then animates them as zombies. These zombies serve the plant as a guardian, but when new zombies are created, older ones wander off, collapsing and breaking apart to give seed to a new yellow musk creeper.
Custom Move: When you inhale yellow musk pollen, ROLL+WIS.
On a 10+, you keep control.
On a 7-9, choose 1:
You’re not dizzy for hours.(1 on all rolls until you next make camp)
You don’t have to Defy danger vs. WIS to attack the musk.
You don’t take your friends for musk zombies.

Inspired by this blog post (http://blog.trilemma.com/2014/10/non-mechanical-difficulty-levels-for.html?m=0), I’ve been thinking of tags that can be applied to dangers to reflect their disposition. These tags can be used to paint a picture of what an engagement against that danger would be like: how quickly the PCs get noticed, how the danger reacts, etc. here’s what I have so far, what others could be added?
• Slow: They are relatively easy to run away from.
• Fast: They can outrun an average human, making escape difficult.
• Unorganized: They do not work well together or communicate poorly, and could be dealt with piecemeal.
• Factional: There are factions within the group that don’t always get along, creating opportunities to make alliances or divide and conquer.
• Militaristic: They are disciplined and trained to quickly and aggressively respond to threats.
• Gestalt: They operate as one mind. If one knows something, they all know, and they can coordinate with frightening efficiency.
• Defensive: They act to drive others away from their immediate homes, but not any further.
• Territorial: They pursue threats to their territory, which may be as large as an entire region, and won’t stop until the threat has left the area.
• Vengeful: If you mess with them, they’ll make sure you won’t do it again.
• Proactive: They are actively searching for threats, and will bring the fight to them.
• Vigilant: They have scouts, keen senses, or magical scrying to warn them of approaching danger.
• Stationary: They cannot move from their position.
• Site-Bound: They don’t leave the site where they are found.
• Ranging: Their reach is far and wide, able to cross entire regions.
• Horde: There are hundreds of them, or maybe even thousands.
• Stealthy: They remain hidden from sight until it’s too late. Expect ambushes.
