The Legacy Weapon A Dungeon World Artifact and One-on-One Play One-Shot Adventure
No one knows where the Legacy Weapon came from. Some speak of a cabal of powerful wizards¸ others say it was a relic from a past age¸ the holy say the gods sent it from the heavens¸ and the superstitious think that it rose from the depths of the hells. Regardless of its mysterious origins¸ the weapon is now in our world¸ waiting to find a worthy champion to bestow its gifts upon.
Designed for One on One play¸ The Legacy Weapon is a companion Playbook for Dungeon World. The GM provides the player the Legacy Weapon playbook¸ works with the player to create the weapon¸ and then plays out their adventure with the artifact in their hands. The Legacy Weapon is designed to supplement the moves of a single character¸ allowing them to have heroic adventures of their own.
Inspired by Jason from the Discern Realities Podcast and the skill sharing from Mark Richardson's Headspace¸ the Legacy weapon is a great way to create a night of fun with a single player or a campaign about the string of wielders who encounter this power weapon.
Mentions"I was moving through the areas¸ it felt like a dungeon crawl¸ but it was just me¸ it wasn't like there was a whole party¸ and I felt like I had the necessary tools to do the dungeon crawl¸ but I was also kind of getting this other story about the weapon which was fun…"
- Jason Cordova¸ Discern Realities¸ Episode 41
"The Living Weapon is a fascinating approach to running Dungeon World with two players. It's a tool that I can see driving one-on-one play both mechanically and thematically. Very cool."
-- Jeff Stromer¸ Party of One Podcast
