Dungeon Worlds Without Master (d12)

The simplest way to replace the GM in Dungeon World

Always imagine the most likely situation to follow the outcome of your moves. If that's not enough for you today, here is a custom move:

When you would normally look to the GM, and there isn't one, roll on (or choose from) the table below for inspiration, discarding and rerolling if you can't imagine how it fits your story.

This is pretty much what a Dungeon World GM does, anyway, without the random aspect. You don't need them to keep you honest and fair to your world and your characters.
