Since Delta will be away until Wednesday I am making the executive decision that you all can vote where to go without him, or elect a leader in their place. If the deciding voter or temporary leader decides to Backtrack, they shall then roll Backtrack on Delta's behalf, 2d6+nothing. Backtrack When you travel through hostile, previously explored territory, the Human rolls+nothing. ✴On a 7-9 the same amount of renewable and non-renewable healing items are spent when you reach your destination, and all monsters killed last time are killed again, and traps, disarmed. On a 10+ choose one: Hindsight: You spend 1 fewer Healing item or Spell use getting to the area this time. Mad Dash: You can choose run through as many rooms as you want, traps and monsters alike, to avoid paying what was spent there before. If you must travel through the room again the hostiles will still be there, triggering this move again. 6-: something goes different from before. Work with the GM to determine what and start from there.

Sorry I've been off the radar; Easter weekend was a bit crazy for me. I'm back now, though and I'll be contributing regularly again. As for feedback on your GMing style, it's been awesome so far! The atmosphere, pacing, and flavor are all well done and interesting. One thing, though: at times the atmospheric descriptions can make it a bit unclear what mechanical action is required or ideal next. I don't have a lot of experience playing Dungeon World in general, let alone play by post, so it could totally be my bad.

No problem about getting sporadic, life finds a way. As for moves, I don't like to make it too near to a "press X to pay your respects" type action prescription of players' actions per se, but if it's a question of whether those actions triggers mechanical moves I'm absolutely supposed to nudge you all toward that. If you're unsure about what move has been triggered or how to put the action over and trigger it, just let us know in the irc channel or post in this OOC thread. Never be ashamed to do that.

So what I propose given the info we got, have someone agile lay down to attract a beetle and then Dom and Agerios can knock it over more easily, and the flies will go after the upturned beetles. Let's just assume Dom kind of gave everyone the info that the GM post contained.

Would, hypothetically of course, the impact of a spear thrown by a fit and honorable hoplite have enough force to knock a beetle on its back?

StringofLetters: what's the damage on that hack and slash?

Deltasquid, StringofLetters: the air around Ysolde is clouded with frass, thick as a dust storm. Taking a deep breath there would send your characters into a coughing fit like Ysolde that would make it difficult to fight the Dire Gadflies it would also draw to you. You can still hack and slash in there but there is danger to defy. Add how you would deal with it.

I suppose that answers my question -- will I have to DD to do anything? And I presume DD Con is suitable for "get your breath back to actually do stuff?"

I didn't realize there was a cloud, but I suppose I'll try shouting, holding in my breath and then moving into the cloud.

Giving Dominik the possibility to manifst cauldron bubbles gave me an idea. Would it be possible to spend a few souls to manifest clean air around us? If only my face? I'm not sure if letting us manifest anything we can think of or have learned in our travels is what you were going for but it might be cool and fun.

This is not the kind of game, I am not the right GM. "Anything we can think of or have learned in our travels" is far broader than would work to keep the atmosphere what it is, having to pillage souls from the slain to broaden what one can manifest is crucial. Also in my own experience DW or any PBTA games that I know of have not worked when characters have free-form anything-is-possible magic powers. Players have asked for playbooks with that stuff, it just hasn't ever come together. I always think I suck at GMing, but I know I suck at GMing that kind of game.

Hey, no problem. Pillaging abilities off slain enemies is cool as well. I realize letting us do whatever we can think of right off the bat wouldn't mesh well with the tone of the game, hence me asking to be sure. To the other players: do we continue in this world or are you guys aching for some change of scenery? I'm okay with bailing out of grimdark Greece and exploring something else, but I'm also okay with finishing what we started here.

Some prompts are always good. Sorry for not being active, I had some rough thesis-related deadlines this month. But I have a long weekend starting today, so all's well.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about inactivity; work's been tough/draining and I haven't been thinking about roleplaying very much. I'll try to be caught up and post tonight or tomorrow.

Take all the time you need. I know running a PbP is basically like running a PUG, so I run with whoever posts pretty much. As long as you guys show signs of life though I'll give you prompts every once in a while too.
