For those few who might show up on Thursday, in spite of not being part of the Tourney action, I might offer a little one-shot I’ve prepared.
It’s another of my Viking World scenarios, so be prepared for big axes, strong mead and horny helmets
It’s (just like Dungeon World) a “hack” of Apocalypse World. So you could say they are “sibling games” (with AW being the mother game).
Viking World sticks much closer to AW than DW does, however. it uses the same stats and many of the same basic moves, for example.
DW replaced the AW stats (Cool, Hard, Hot, Sharp and Weird) with classical D&D stats (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, etc.), and also adopted character classes mapped on those from D&D.
Viking World (like AW) has character classes also, but they are not the classical D&D ones. So you get to play the Explorer, the Raidleader, the Craftyhead or the Godskin instead of the Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Ranger, Cleric etc.
But I like all of those systems. In fact, I’ve run DW before on these Thursday meetings occassionally. So if you’re interested, there may be some Dungeon Crawl or other upcoming one of these weeks…

Ah ok cool, that does sound pretty good. I can’t really do Thursdays though, so it was more of an academic query though.
That’s a shame then. If ever that changes, be sure to let us know - we’ll be glad to spread the *World goodness and run something or other for you
Hans Solson, captain of the Falkr? I’m looking forward to that Those not-Gimli and not-Legolas guys could sure need a ride, from what we last saw of them
…all that said, change of plans for today, sadly: something came up and I won’t make it today unfortunately! We’ll have to catch up on the Nordic goodness some other week, sorry!
Nothing too horrible, hopefully? In any case, it should work out so that everyone showing up tonight can play in the tournament, so we won’t be short a game.
Here’s to less stress and better health for those who had to cancel tonight, and see all of you next week!
