Quest World is getting a major update in response to the Dungeon World 2 announcement. It is designed to be a very close bridge with terminology that attracts players from other TTRPGs to  narative games.

I apologize for the late reply. Yes there has been some changes over the past year and I plan to give another release and work on a couple of extra playbooks. I am currently re-working Quest World to publish it as a full standalone document (my other game) for free so this project is taking most of my time currently.

No, this is a system inspired by Blades in the Dark / Savage Worlds

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!

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.

June 2023 updates:

Playbooks have been updated with more choices at level 1

Barbarian:
Now starts with Strength of Ten

The Upper Hand have been reworded and made more viable

The Upper Hand

You take +1 to your Last Breath rolls. When you roll a 7-9 on your Last Breath roll, Death’s offer has to be in line with one of your appetites.

New added move "Berserker's Rage":

Berserker’s Rage

When you fight an enemy that injured you or caused you a physical debility, your next damage against them is Brutal.

_________

Paladin

Now starts with either Smite Evile or Lay on Hands

I am the Law made more viable. It reads as follows:

I Am the Law

When you give an NPC an order according to your divine authority, roll +CHR. On a 7+ choose one of the options below, the GM cannot use that option:

    ●   They do what you say.

    ●   They attack you.

    ●   The attempt to flee.

On a 10+ you also take +1 Forward against them. On a miss, you find out that your divine powers does not affect them or have authority here.

___________
Wizard

Changed the Evocation speciality: 

Evocation : You can fire small, magical projectiles (1d6+2, near, magical, ammo 3); when you use them to Volley, roll +INT. You replenish your ammo when you prepare spells.

Added and changed some spells in the Wizard's spell list

Added another page (under development) for level 6+ spells
____________
Other smaller changes in Ranger, Fighter, Cleric

This is incredible work, I have been working on a similar hack but it turned into an entirely different game system.
I'd like to ask if there was any playtesting done with the system. On paper it looks solid but I am not sure how fantasy tropes would work using a structured BiTD score mechanic with downtime and so on.

This is incredible work and I do feel your pain. I have published a dark fantasy conversion "Symphony of Nightmares" since I did have the same idea a year ago. I'd love to get your feedback on it as a fellow designer.
