Why Choose Quest World for Your Next Tabletop Adventure?
Quest World stands out from traditional Dungeon World games with its simplified dice system and customized moves for each class, creating a unique feel for every character. This innovative tabletop RPG challenges players to think creatively and embrace diverse character builds.
The damage system:
Quest World uses d6s with a modifier for each class for it's damage system instead of the traditional range of d4-d10 from Dungeon World. This design philosophy aims to eliminate the unsatisfying results when martial classes roll 1s on their damage dice and fictionally fail at achieving their goal of harming their opponents. (An NPC 1 armor can technically survive and potentially negate a successful 10+ roll from a heroic and powerful barbarian).
The previous design goes against the philosophy of PBTA.
Updates and Future Plans:
Quest World is constantly evolving, with upcoming updates including expanded and streamlined downtime moves, a comprehensive GM guide, and a monster/NPC/location/adventure kit to enhance your gaming experience.

I love this hack. Is there any way I could get the template for the playbooks so I can make my own?
Hi there, thank you for your support and kind words! I'll work on it and upload a clean sheet. I made them using google slides. You might want to adjust them for a letter size if you are in the US. They are A4 by default.
I have decided to upload the wizard sheet since it holds the best format for editing including a spell sheet. A clean sheet would have messed up the format but this way you can edit as you like without losing the integrity or the organization of the playbook sheet.
Have fun!
Thank you so much!
