The Necromancer and The Summoner (Dungeon World Playbooks)

Two playbooks for Adam Koebel and Sage LaTorra's game, Dungeon World. Designed by me (Ben Rosenbloom) and Trevor Murray for our collection, Incomplete Adventurer.

The Necromancer commands an undead cohort which they can continually replenish with new reanimated corpses. The cohort uses tags to represent its size and qualities. As the Necromancer progresses, they can raise more powerful kinds of undead, and expand their necromantic powers.

The Summoner can conjure entities from other planes to do their bidding. The summoned creature is treated as a temporary character, distinguishing the Summoner from other pet-classes, like the Ranger.  The Summoner also has a variety of other planar abilities to round out its kit and progression.

NOTE: these playbooks have since been slightly revised - the most up to date versions can be found in the collection, Incomplete Adventurer!
