'storytelling medium' is a normative term that reduces any art form to a mere vector for implicit true art of writing a good plot

This is not how a person who understands the weight of the harm they have done behaves. These are not the actions of the thoughtful penitent. These are the actions of someone who has no interest at all in genuine accountability. That’s the actions speaking, not the words.

he did also find the time yesterday to edit his patreon's about page and make private the financial information on there. it seems like the main lesson he's learned from all this is that he needs to hide things better

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

First thing that jumps out at me? the hallway-to-room ratio. I’ve been narrowing my eyes at hallways in dungeon modules more and more lately. More specifically, I dislike a dungeon made room-by-room - that’s how you get hallways that just *connect rooms,* instead of *coherent places* like this one.

No one owes you forgiveness. Sometimes people will not want to be in community with you after they deem you unsafe or untrustworthy. You are not being victimized if you in fact did something unsafe and untrustworthy.

i do believe some men think women deserve it, but i don't think most of them even think that far. people in positions of power think others are beneath them and it doesn't matter if we deserve terrible treatment or not. it's just our place in society and to be expected. i think "deserve" is moot.

The Geller news is heartbreaking. Learning of these crimes always is. Rather than listen to a perpetrator, I recommend reading Nathalie Lawhead‘s important account of outing a rapist and games media‘s subsequent betrayal of her bravery. It must have been so heavy to write. Justice for survivors.

Slugblaster is a fun example, because it sort of just relies on the idea that characters will be doing more or less the same kind of thing - slugblasting - with more or less the same amount of risk - lots, but also rarely existential risk - every time. Plus you can Nope your way out of a lot!

All I'll say is that the people saying that Geller should have disclosed to his collaborators are not thinking about the survivor at all. You don't think that at least one of his potential collaborators would have told their networks in the spirit of protecting their communities?

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

PbtA fans, here's my challenge to you. For the next 12 months, when somebody asks how PbtA works, tell them that normally a 10+ is a critical hit, a 7-9 is a hit, and a 6- is a compromise, but that unusually challenging or dangerous situations can bump itdown.

It should come as no surprise that when a patriarch becomes subsumed into the position of cultural and institutional privilege that defines whiteness, such as in joining a white institution like an ivy league fraternity, one simply becomes able to access their withheld patriarchal role

010

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This is because whiteness and race, as a concept and a construct, is derived from the structures and patterns of patriarchy. The harms of whiteness do not belong inherently to whiteness; racism was created so that patriarchy could be applied to othered men and doubly applied to othered women.

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

That said, I think that an in-depth analysis of "gm-driven" and "player-driven" might be doomed? Or a poor way to understand games? Like, everyone's a player at the table, everyone's driving it in one way or another. Might be more useful to figure out who's driving what, rather than who's got "more"

120

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Mmmmm. I don't know exactly how true this is! Like, I think Apocalypse World is really powerfully player-driven. The MC only threatens things when the moves and principles demand it. I think players have a lot more agency to chase down the things their characters want on a personal level

110

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also, consequences are much harder but I think they happen less often! Blades games can be downright nice a lot of the time in my experience, largely bc it's based around the fantasy of being competent scoundrels as opposed to AW's fantasy of being dirty grubby fuckups in the dust

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The MC's role in a PBTA game is pretty much just to set the scene and follow through on what gets established, right? I think in FITD games, they have a much higher responsibility to think about what's happening from a mechanical perspective as well as a fictional one and make good mechanical calls.

230

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I disagree! They're equally player-driven, especially when the MC follows the rules and "allows" you to describe the things you're supposed to be able to describe in Apocalypse World. The GM setting up position and effect in FITD games is a huge amount of control that they don't have in PBTA.

120

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Whereas in fitd games, the action-stats are separate from the Kind of Guy you are. You can have all kinds of personalities with the same set of action-stats, because we're more interested in your role *as a scoundrel* than we are your social role or the way your heart expresses itself on the world.

050

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Not quite the same, but that's mostly a matter of complexity and relationship to character. In PBTA games, you're good at those moves because you're the *kind of character that we want to see succeed at those moves and fail at other ones.* It's about your narrative role, right?

150

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I think it's not an exaggeration to say that in PBTA, almost the ONLY thing stats do is link you to moves. And that means that your stats are actually your moves. You have a +3 in Go Aggro. You also have a +3 in whatever other Aggro moves there are, right? This is a LOT like fitd action-stats.

140

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Trad games give you generic tools to apply to various situations, FITD games give you *verbs* to apply to various situations, and PBTA games give you *sets of situations* that your adjectives interact with, right? In PBTA, your stats are specifically about *linking you to certain moves.*

120

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Hmm I think I might say, like. Trad games use nouns, fitd games use verbs (Wreck, Attune, etc), and pbta games use adjectives (Hot, Sharp, etc). But the other thing is what they're using the words for, right? Trad: "I *use* strength." FITD: "I *wreck* something." PBTA: "I *am* hot."

230

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Apocalypse World presumes that everyone at the table is equally interested in seeing their characters fail as they are in seeing them succeed. Fitd games don't share that presumption, so they have overall kinder engines and ways to cleverly squirrel out of problems, because that's enjoyable too.

170

Authenticity Trip | 200-Proof Games @200proofgames.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

When leaning even further into it, like in the statless slugblaster, I think that works because it's very clear that the *game itself* is on the side of the characters, the *shape of the fiction* implies that they should be supported, and the stakes for "failure" or mixed success aren't as high.
