Minimal GM Companion Pack (PBtA)
This is my ongoing attempt to make the average GMs life a lot easier! This consolidates the most common info into one convenient booklet¸ with some handy minimal handouts to give to players. Please provide feedback¸ suggestions¸ and reviews here or on the Dungeon World Discord server ( discord.me/page/dungeonworld) (@Sentinel Greg)
included -
- GM Companion booklet: an 8 page minimal booklet containing GM principles¸ moves¸ damage info¸ basic moves¸ special moves¸ tags¸ weapon & gear info¸ hireling info¸ and NPC creation tools (names¸ knacks¸ and instincts)
- Player Handouts: Answer their questions before they need to ask them! Tags¸ gear & weapon info¸ basic and special moves!
- Minimal Mapping: B&W map printouts with both Hexgrid and dot matrix layouts.
- GM Workbook: A foldable minimal notebook with space for - Player notes¸ World and Location notes¸ NPC & Monster notes¸ 2 Fronts with 2 Dangers apiece¸ space for 7 monsters / NPCs and stats / moves¸ 1 page of dot-matrix grid¸ which can be used for many purposes (one favorite of mine: outline squares equal to a monsters HP. Damage gets colored in¸ giving a quick visual reference and keeping it quantifiable) I plan to heavily update this in the future based on your feedback! Please let me know how you use it / don't use it.
- Character Creation Handouts: These are meant to be printed¸ double sided¸ then cut in half and passed around. I scoured the DW & RPG community for Name¸ Look¸ Drive¸ Flag¸ Bond¸ and Background suggestions¸ then consolidated them into these handouts! This is somewhat of an experiment¸ so if you use these¸ please please report back to me on the pros¸ cons¸ and any other observations!
I plan to keep updating this with tweaks and new content! Here are some potential ideas (let me know if any strike you! Note that some of these may get a seperate release¸ so no promises that they will be included in this pack)
- Perilous Wilds: Travel¸ Steading¸ Discovery¸ and Follower minimal Cheatsheet
- Revamped Monster Creation
- Adding Steading rules and creation to workbook
- Popular community made Custom moves
- Booklet of GM FAQs and Advice
- Alternate Rulesets for Damage¸ HP¸ etc.
- Revamped Loot Tables (I'm probably going to replace the one here¸ cuz it's a little boring)

(My general philosophy is to provide content Pay What you want¸ as long as it is simply re-formatting others work! I do think these are helpful improvements¸ and they take time to do well¸ so I appreciate payment for whatever you feel that these are worth! The Minimal Core and Alternate Playbooks are based heavily off of others work¸ so I match their price point to not undercut their sales :)
