In Real Life, I'm A Dragonborn Paladin

In a campaign DM'ed by my good friend, A, I play a dragonborn paladin named Rhasgar Blackscale.

Thanks, DnDLore Wikia, for the shameless image theft.

The min/max being strong in my group, and with point-buy as the de facto method, my optimal character emerged slow-witted yet oddly charismatic.  His stats after level 4:

Str: 11
Con: 16
Dex: 10
Int: 8
Wis: 16
Cha: 19

Born from a one-shot turned ongoing game (my group has a lot of those, don't we?), I took my cues straight from the stats; I decided to play Rhasgar with the mind of a mostly-man-child, save for when in the heat of combat or in courtly etiquette.  I also left him with a backstory of a disgraced knight questing to redeem his faith - quite standard.

I expected him to be a throw-away.

A one-shot with Dungeon World

Am I wrong for feeling a little self-conscious whenever I search for "Dungeon World"?  I always expect the worst - curse you, Internet!

Last week, the DM of my regular D&D (4e) session bowed out due to work.  Unwilling to give up my regular night of nerd bro-hood, I volunteered to run a one-shot game with a new game I'd bought: Dungeon World.
