When we play combat scenarios in our game, the scenes often fall on a spectrum. On one side, we have the sporty style of play, where encounters are balanced and the PC's can think on their feet and improvise. On the other side, we have a more war-minded approach, in which victory is earned by meticulous planning and through unflinching, ruthless tactics. Today, Eamon and Arthur discuss some of the ways this spectrum appears in Dungeon World, and the simple ways to embrace both ends.
