![]() ![]() Your friends may carry blades of forged steel but, fighter, you are steel. You do this for the guts and the glory, for the scream of battle and the hot, hot blood of it. No flock of angels will sing of the time you dragged them, still screaming, from the edge of the Pits of Madness, no. They won’t be playing golden horns for the time you took that knife to the ribs for them in the bar in Bucksberg. It’s a thankless job-living day to day by your armor and the skill of your arm, diving heedlessly into danger. You’ll take your share of the treasure, but will you ever walk as one of them? Only time will tell. You walk the old ways, you wear the pelts of the earth itself. Their gods are children, their steel is false protection. They speak of the glory they’ll find back in that festering town you left behind. Listen to your allies pray to their carved stone gods and polish their silver shells. ![]() You may have had a life before, maybe you were a city dweller like them, but not now. You are of the sacred spaces you are born of soil and wear the marks of her spirits on your skin. Whatever your inspiration, they would certainly fail without your sharp senses and sharper claws. What has brought you to these people, stinking of the dust and sweat of the city? Perhaps it is a kindness-do you protect them as the mother bear watches over her cubs? Are they your pack, now? Strange brothers and sisters you have. Show the world who is lord.Ĭast your eyes around the fire. Some say that it’s best to keep the gods close to your heart. It falls to you to proselytize with sword and mace and spell, to cleave deep into the witless heart of the wilds and plant the seed of divinity there. Bringing the glory of your god to the heathens isn’t just in your nature-it’s your calling. They’re lousy with the walking dead, beasts of all sorts, and the vast unnatural spaces between safe and temple-blessed civilizations. The lands of Dungeon World are a gods-forsaken mess. Who better than you to write the tale of your own heroism? Nobody. Someone’s got to be there, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the goons and the thugs and the soon-to-be-heroes. Sharpen that hidden dagger and take up the call. A mere minstrel can retell a thing, but it takes a true bard to live it. You, with your smooth tongue and quick wit. The tales told in every farmhand-filled inn have to have some ring of truth to them, don’t they? The songs to inspire peasantry and royals alike-to soothe the savage beast or drive men to a frenzy-have to come from somewhere. The poems say an adventurer’s life is all open roads and the glory of coin and combat. These brutal warriors might rise from all walks of life, both civilized and savage, though whole societies embracing such philosophies roam the wild places of the world. Known as barbarians, these warmongers know little of training, preparation, or the rules of warfare for them, only the moment exists, with the foes that stand before them and the knowledge that the next moment might hold their death. Savages, hired muscle, masters of vicious martial techniques, they are not soldiers or professional warriors-they are the battle possessed, creatures of slaughter and spirits of war. Official Classes ClassĬonflict is all these brutal souls know. Suggestions on improving this are welcomed. I have not played / read all of these playbooks, so it’s entirely possible that I may have gotten some wrong as it is. The Bard contains some more social playbooks, even though they may not have anything to do with music. For instance, the “Shaman” grouping contains anything involving Spirits, Auras, or Fortune-telling. It also does not contain anything that was posted exclusively to the Something Awful forums.įinally, I have tried to group things together in a reasonable way while still keeping the groups from sprawling.Currently this list does not contain any Compendium classes.If you have better links for those too, that would be lovely. When possible, I have tried to link thread that announced the project for ease of getting in touch with the author for any feedback.If I’ve made an error, please do let me know. I have tried not to link any unintentional / unsanctioned releases of paid work.My hope is that this will function better, with all of us able to keep up on it. It was inspired by The Nerdwerd's post about Dungeon World Resources and the Big List of Dungeon World Classes, both of which tend to be out of date. This is a complete listing of Third Party classes for Dungeon World. Playbooks based on Race / Creature / ProfessionĪfter a few months of work, I think this is complete enough to post the initial draft.
