Luke Crane bought Dungeon World and is going to make a 2nd Edition - eviltoast

Saw this on Reddit. Wondering what people think about it here.

I was surprised there was no mention of it here. This announcement comes from the Dungeon World+ Discord.

For some context, Luke Crane is most well known as the designer of the Burning Wheel rpg, and used to work at Kickstarter as VP of Community (and some controversies with it).

He also bought it alongside someone else, who seems to be a friend of Luke and coworker at kickstarter.

There’s now a 2e channel/thread in the Dungeon World+ Discord where he’s answering questions.

Any people familiar with Dungeon World here?

    Haha, thanks. I just meant that sentence at first blush, I know it’s a reasonable position after that. :P

    I’m not sure I’d like it, because I “got” Blades in the Dark, but realized it wasn’t for me. It does what it does well, but my group and I didn’t like so much the “one session, one job” paradigm, and it seemed too abstract at times. I read a comment that said narrative games are like writing with the other players, and it seemed to click. I might just not like that kind of approach, as a matter of personal preference.

    But I might like DW2 more, as it incorporates more of a traditional style. That and, to be honest, I might love Blades and other FitD games with some light tweaking. I need to explore!
