Excited to see this group.
Excited to see this group.
I was introduced to 2nd edition Whitehack and love it. I've only played once - my high school D&D buddies get together for a long weekend every year and this summer we made the switch from S&W to Whitehack. We're playing my version of Keep on the Borderlands based in an alternate late dark ages Earth setting.
A few things that I should write more about:
* Spells! Oh my goodness, so much fun. One character is a Wise type from the Arabian peninsula. We came up with some great sand- and fire-themed spells on the fly.
* Hacking Whitehack #1: Players roll all the dice. Active, not passive defense when monsters are attacking; spell rolls instead of having monsters make saves; etc.
* Hacking Whitehack #2: Partial success. Incorporating lessons from Dungeon World about degrees of success and making failure interesting.

Matthew G. you need to write some more indeed! It's great to hear how other Whitehackers run their games, thanks. :)
