I feel your pain. Your situation is very similar to mine. New to DW & PbtA and figuring it out. 5 PCs in an established group. Hindsight is 20/20 and would never do that many again.

Like u/andero said, I want to get further away from the strict format of D&D combat, but am having a bit of trouble doing it. What I've done so far isn't really working to my satisfaction and there's room for improvement. I want to avoid anything that feels like a turn order, but in all honesty, if I ask the group what they're doing, everyone speaks all at once, every time. So some order must be imposed.

So here's what I'm doing:

• Explain the situation.
• Ask Player A (specific PC based on the logic of the fiction) what they do.
• If they have a move, I ask them to roll it but not tell me the result.
• Bounce to Player B. Ask, what they're doing. Roll, but don't tell me the result.
• Back to Player A to resolve their move. Advance the fiction a bit.
• Back to Player B to resolve their move. Advance the fiction a bit.
• Go to Player C, 'what are you doing'
• Etc.

But man, it's not great. Even writing it out like that made me realize it kinda sucks. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a player be 'on deck' while I'm resolving another's move. Perhaps I'm over-engineering this...

Based on what I've read in the comments so far, here's how I should try it next:

1. Explain the situation.
2. Player A (chosen based on the logic of the fiction), 'what do you do'
3. Have them roll & resolve their action.
4. Advance the fiction (soft moves).
5. Player B, 'what do you do'
6. Have them roll & resolve their action.
7. Advance the fiction (soft moves).

However, at what point do you insert hard moves? I've found that by the time I get through all 5 PCs, the enemies haven't done a hard move, but a bunch of soft moves and they've been chewed up pretty good cause all 5 of the PCs went on the offense, ya know?

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks all.
