comment Is there the equivalent of a “Skill Check” in Dungeon World?
That's not how I play. Anyone can try to bash open a door. Anyone can try to cast a spell. They describe it, we figure it out. But only those who have a move, have a move -- for others it's handled through other means which likely means other moves, custom or basic.

comment What should I do as a first time indie/story game GM?
I'm curious about the first two bullet points under number one. Won't all games put some players off due to the mechanics or subject?

comment What should I do as a first time indie/story game GM?
Matt, I've only run for two to four players. Three and four work better than two. I certainly wouldn't turn a fifth away, but I'm sure that (like most games) it gets hard to manage things and give everyone appropriate levels of attention with too many.

comment What are the differences between Holmes, Moldvay, and Mentzer D&D?
As a forty-year-old I certainly can't credit the dice as a "major difference." But when I was twelve it seemed like the most important thing...
