Even Less Complete

To begin: Dungeon World, just like Dungeons & Dragons, and the scores of other "foundational" fantasy, is racist and colonialist. Because of my privilege, I was able to make excuses about it and my own writing instead of facing up to that fact. (and as though that weren't enough, I want to also condemn Adam Koebel's behavior & non-apology for simulating sexual assault on stream without even passing it by his players, let alone the live audience. Eeugh.)

So in light of all that, I have some pretty mixed feelings about this update. Incomplete Adventurer is my first major design project, and it holds a special place in my heart, as does Dungeon World to a point (and interestingly although not particularly compelling to me is the fact that it's far and away the best selling of the things that I've written). I've been making edits semi continuously since release and it finally feels like there are enough of them and of sufficient quality to push the update. But I think that this will be essentially my last (and, well, first) update to Incomplete Adventurer.

I do have one other Dungeon World thing before I move on to more personal and less problematic projects (by which I mean, not just the absence of objectionable ideas but also the presence of radical & ethical ideas). That is to say that I think what I'm doing with it is aligned with my principles of justice, especially around anti-racism and anti-colonialism. I'll be looking to hire a sensitivity reader, so let me know if you're interested! But with everything going on, it's looking like that's going to be a little bit further down the line than I'd originally thought. In any event, look forward to Plane Escape, coming "soon".
