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:

I've been doing actual game design so here's some theoryslop to try and explain the basics of ttrpg play cultures to my girlfriend to balance it out
A venn diagram with Play to Find Out, Strict Player/GM divide, and OOC player control over the story

OSR is play to find out and strict player/GM divide

Neotrad is strict player/GM divide and OOC player control over the story

Pbta design legacy is OOC player control over the story and play to find out

No space is safe. Inside one, everything cannot affect you. Your existence is undetectable within no space. Not even time can affect you there. Its imaginary nature only permits mathematical information to pass at FTL without breaking causality. There is no safer space than no space.

By learning ignarics, one can deny parts of reality. Suppose someone mastered fire ignarics. They can no longer perceive any fire with their senses, nor can fire harm them. But they also forget that fire exists. Nobody can even talk about fire with them. Ignarics is virtually irreversible.

New fleeing rules for Vaults of Vaarn 2E. I used a simple DEX check for years but I've been liking this rule way more as it frontloads encumbrance as make or break in dicey situations. Allowing PCs to shed their equipment like loot pinatas to escape is a good tradeoff

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 29/08/2026
Bluntly: The Second Coming of Jesus, gentle soul that He is, was confused on arrival and black bagged by a monstrous evangelical mega-church. Lucifer recruited *you* to free Him. And fuck shit up. Check the full thread. Then support the #TTRPG you didn't know you needed: ko-fi.com/revcasey/shop
Black background, black and white + low color image of Jesus on the cross against a stone wall, money in the shape of the cross transparent overlaid on the crucified Jesus, blood red letters in an arc around and above it ("BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL"), white stamped letters in black area at bottom ("Written by Rev Casey" + "Published by Thought Punks") The Gist
Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices. 
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge, They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night  to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans  available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer. 
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.) 
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations. 
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

1.- (Whisper.)" Is GMing bourgeois?" 2.- Oh god, that's bad. Surely I can think of something better.
