Dungeon World Variants (lemmy.ca)

I like Dungeon World, but there are some things I don't like. I don't like the damage dice especially. It makes it more like D&D than I want to be.

I have seen mention of some variants, and I checked out the free version of Chasing Adventure which seemed more like what I was looking for.

What are the other Variants people have played, and what are they like?

It's not the hot points that bother me, it's using all the different d&d dice (D20, d8, etc). I like that other pbta games just use 2d6

I understand that. All that dice juggling and optimazation, wasn’t that fun.

But unlike dnd, the dice is specific to each class. So a fighter will always use a d10. No matter if it is a sword, dagger, whip, etc.

And I really like how a fighter will generally be much more deadly than a wizard. Like in some hacks the dage is a d6 +/-X. And for me, it makes the damage between the classes feel very samy.
