I got this in PDF format years ago, and a few days later, I discovered World of Dungeons. After that, I never needed playbooks again. 😅

The first RPG I published started as a Dungeon World hack, and it has 20 classes hehe It also has 45 races. And 40 especialization (kind of a mini class that you can add to your character, that is NOT related to the basic class). Basically "compendium classes" but with another name. Or for those familiar with D&D 3.5, prestige classes.

This and Grim World are the DW Must Haves

Having 2 options is fantastic for when you dont find a third that fits the characater. Nothing worse than "I guess I am FORCED to choose a third ..."

TABLETOP BRO HAS BLESSED US WITH HIS PRESENCE AGAIN!! I've missed this guy so much. Also, this is so stinking cool!!!

Yes! Finally got around to it! Great book!!

i got this book very quickly after getting dungeon world. i feel like its almost a necessity to have as a toolkit when planing a game. even just for the ideas it can inspire for adventures as well as the cool characters people can play with it.

"if there were" is correct. It's called the subjunctive mood.

Another fun video. Class Warfare changed the game for me. Lets everyone really play what they want so that the fun is maximized. Thanks for doing the doing.

Okay I'll be right back, gotta go buy this real quick.

You're back!!

How extensive does class building get? This sounds like just the thing to get my 5e group to try out Dungeon World. If I can translate their 5e characters with this, they might be intrigued. For instance, is it possible to build or re-flavor the options to make an artificer? That's the one that's holding me up the most.

I bought this a while ago, unfortunately my group get option paralysis very easily. It is a great book though, and an easy recommendation. Good video, though it seemed short.

I recently converted my two D&D campaigns to DW and despite the advice of the DW subreddit to keep stuff simple at first, I chose to ignore their advice and dive straight into class warfare head first. It has been a BLAST, best choice to not heed that advice. It let my characters build their characters akin to their D&D characters, and even let some of their characters shake things up to really capture the character they want to play. Would 100% recommend.

This looks fun! I'm too enamoured by FATE right now to crack open my DW book, but if and when I do, this would be a great add-on.

I'm not a boomer. I'm GenX. Anyway, one of my favorite things in Dragon magazine years ago was an article for BECMI, where race was class, and it was a whole thing about how to custom create your own class by picking all the different character traits you wanted basically a la carte. Remember, every class back then had its own xp progression, so each trait you chose had an xp cost which added to the overall. You could have a powerful or diverse character with a slow progression or a more specialized one with a faster progression. And you could choose some traits at certain levels, kind of like martials that gain spells. (Issue 109 btw) I always wished D&D or other games had something like this, but then games went in a different direction, which is fine with me. Like I said, I'm not a boomer. They're grouchy af about everything.

when I heard class warfare, i thought eat the rich

i see that age of mythology music in the middle, great pick

The corrected 'were' is correct; it's a subjunctive!

I love all of this and I personally would use it. My players won't touch anything unless it's in an online character builder so I guess I'm out of luck there

Hey! Have you tried Fabula Ultima yet?

Where did you get the physical book?!?

Do you know any hacks that make Dungeon world more deadly?

This definitely helped make that supplement make a lot more sense to me now! Also sorry, this video was at 69 comments and I just ruined it

Hi! You probably don't remember, but you helped me out with problematic Nova player in my Masks campaign, when i asked your advice (very thankful for that). I wanted to ask you, have you heard something or maybe even played Avatar Legends? Its PBA set in... well... Avatarverse. Just wanted to hear a few of your thoughts about it, becouse my players actually hipped about the world of the game, but not so much about learning a new system (was kind of a pain to make theam try out anything but dnd). I asking you because... well... you are the only one who makes Masks content and those two looks like they have a lot in common. Thanks! (P.s. My English still sucks)

how have I never heard of this before?

After i got that years ago (like 8 years maybe) and after lots of games and characters we got back to regular classes. we found it gave us too much options. Some combinations are just wtf.

Hey man, I know it's not on topic but you're kinda THE Masks guy on KZfaq, so... Could you do a video on ways/tips of playing as an older generation in Mask (Gold/Silver/Bronze)? I recently showed Masks to my friends and they were super on board on the game's idea and system... Untill I said they had to play teenagers... Like, modern teenagers. It was like a bucket of cold water on them. So, is it possible to hack the system to play as an older generation? Has the community done it (I could not find anything about it on my research)? I was thinking about maybe playing as one of the older generations (Bronze, for example), but as teenagers, since that would allow my group to roleplay as the generation closest to our own without having to change the playbooks. Maybe play into the "lost generation" theme the book imply. Has anyone tried it? Anyway, great video and great work!

Rogue is where it's at

this book has been out forever.

Dude, DW has like 400 playbooks made by the community xd exposit.github.io/dw-playbooks/

Hates Bard so much he doesn't count it as a core playbook.🤣

Did you just click stealth? 😮😉

Hmm, class warfare? I had expected more Marx, or strife between classes. End the reign of wizards! Down with the Nobles! such stuff is also missing. Real world issues like peasant or class revolts.

Nope. Due to one of the hypocrite authors of the game... I tossed that mess in the trash.
