Our game was AWESOME. I got to be a spider crab and pinch toes. AND incite enormous iguana mounts into a rebellion. Best game EVER.

That certainly was an ignominious defeat for the Ice Witch; distracted by the constant pinching of a giant spider-crab until she got caught in the blast of sunlight from the open doors. I can honestly say I did not expect that at all. LOL.
I would totally be up for running more games of Dungeon World. The game is decent for one-shots (which is all I've run so far) but like other Apocalypse World-based games, I imagine it really starts shining when the characters are able to see the results/consequences of their actions on the world. Now that Eisathora has been defeated (and both groups beat her) what happens to the village of Nordmark? Now that the party has the Annulus, the legendary helm of telepathy/preservation, what are they going to do with it? You can't answer questions like that in single session games.
Alternatively, I've also got Monsterhearts and Monster of the Week if people are interested in trying those. I've got Apocalypse World too, if people want to play the game that started this whole "Powered by the Apocalypse" boom.
We'd most likely be looking at monthly sessions around the same times (Sunday mornings Osaka time).

We ain't got no hat. I've got Iceathora's staff and I'm currently being crabcrushed under the corpse of a giant yeti. I'm so gonna whack people with it. A lot. And completely disregard any magicky goofiness it might have. That's my awesome spidercrab plan.

Hyvemynd, thank you for running that. I will be adding dungeon world to the slots along with the other games for an alternate one shot so they can try it.
thank you scubasteve and forresst for making our game surreal and entertaining. I could not have had a finer bunch than Team Wilderness.
LONG LIVE THE IGUANA REBELLION!

I had a lot of fun playing with you guys as well. I have a bi-weekly Pathfinder game I'm gonna be running, but if I can work a game around that, I'd love to play with you guys again too. We just need to watch out for that horrible monster that left a giant blood stain/pool on that door. That thing must be scary.

I really enjoyed our game as well, despite it being devoid of spider crabs ;-)
Unfortunately, due to "real life" (whatever that means) picking back up again, it would be difficult for me to engage in another game commitment. I would, however, really enjoying listening to any APs that would come out of this.
Thanks for running DW for us, hyvemynd! After our game, I actually attempted to run a dungeon for some other friends, but I'm not really sure they were feeling it. Often, I struggled to come up with hard choices to offer on a 7-9. Another issue that we encountered, which is probably covered in the book and I've just missed it, is that our wizard decided to continue to take penalties to his spellcasting rolls in order to fail them more consistently and earn boatloads of XP. Since this was a one shot, it didn't really matter that much, but it would be an issue in a longer game. Did we miss something that would prevent this from occurring?

It would seem to me that eventually, your failures would eventually make for extreme consequences. Like character death.

Hoarding XP in a ONE SHOT? Why the hell would you do that??

A one shot is all I could commit to, though I am very grateful to have been a part of it.
I will be slotting up Dungeon World as part of my substitute games.
