Dis is the greatest city in the multiverse. Dis is the gateway between worlds. Dis is a city of wonder and beauty and terror. Dis is a slavering beast, feasting on the scraps and carrion of the dead and the dying. Dis is your home.
Do you want to see the multiverse? Do you want to meet exotic people, take their valuables, and then run away hoping they can’t catch you? Well then welcome to Dis and my campaign using the World of Dungeons ruleset.
World of Dungeons: World of Dungeons (WoDu)is a lightweight and free hack for the Dungeon World rule system (which is also freely available here). Knowledge of Dungeon World is helpful to understand WoDu but not necessary. We’ll be using a modified form of WoDu for usage with The Planarch Codex (available for 5$, but not necessary to buy to play).
The city of Dis: The city of Dis is heavily inspired by the city of Sigil in the Planescape setting and serves a similar purpose as the urban crossroads of somewhere between hundreds and infinity different planes in a fantasy setting. Other inspirations I am using include Morrowind, Kill six billion demons, Tekumel, and Everway. Dis connects to a multitude of different worlds which range from your standard fantasy to planes with different laws of physics or populated by dashing, vainglorious ant-people. Dis creeps into all of these planes and connects them together, you can enter a tavern from the front door and then walk out onto another plane. Dis is the place where a giant talking spider can own a grocery store, where the soul of a paladin bound into a golem can sit back and play cards with a genie and a devil. Dis is a living organism though, it reaches into the forgotten places of other cities, establishing a foothold and begins to absorb the new plane. Some worlds die from this, and the refugees from many such worlds can be found here in Dis. Dis is divided up into Parishes, distinct neighborhoods built from the remnants of cities that Dis has absorbed, an industry, or some leading figure or figures.
The Characters: The characters will be an established group of freebooters. Thugs for hire on a bad day, bodyguards and explorers on a good one. You are on your back to Dis from your latest contract.
Dis is a city of diversity, characters can be natives, refugees, or immigrants. Residents of Dis can be humans, elves, dwarves, talking spiders, aboleths, devils, angels, or any combination (For example a Dwarf-Spider hybrid who is one eight devil on her mother’s side.)
Character Creation: Character sheets are available here. You have the option of rolling for your characters starting stats using our good friend Geth, or you may assign +2, +1, +1, +0, +0, -1, to your stats. Pick two special abilities and two skills from the list, or create your own subject to approval. Then pick 2 or 3 heritage moves to reflect your abilities. Everyone is weird to someone else so even humans get these! For ideas you can look at the monster moves but you can come up with your own. Next you have 25 silver to spend on equipment. Finally describe your character, what they look like, how they came to be here, etc.
Experience and leveling up! We’ll be using the WoDu sheet for gaining new abilities, to hit bonuses, etc. Experience will be given on a semi-ad hoc basis. 7 + your current level will let you level up at your next rest. You’ll get one experience for completing a contract, an experience for completing a countdown, and additional experience for appropriate things.
Adventure!: The final part will be deciding how your last contract went. This will occur as people create their characters.
Have any questions? Confusion? Or just want to start playing? I'm looking for around 4 players maybe 1 more or less. Just !signup and create a character, if you have any questions just @ me and I'll answer them in the thread so everyone can see.
