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.

If you've played or designed RPGs you are doubtless familiar with skill systems. You have a list of different things that you can learn to do, and if you practice them (with "experience points" or w/e), you can get better at them. Yeah, my character took gymnastics in college, I can do that. +

Sorry, what? The US didn’t just demand the right to restrict us from making trade deals with other countries - they demanded that they be able to force Canada to impose new tariffs on other countries and set the rates of those tariffs. That’s just agreeing to let the US control our economic policy.

Podcast album art that is a drawing of a VHS tape coming out of a sleeve. The labels read Some Place to Be, one shot collection, mobile frame zero firebrands. The sleeve has a silhouette drawing of a rough skyline with rubble in shades of blueish purple. The background of the image is dark blue with yellow and pink gradient lines, reminiscent of a "coming soon to own on video and DVD" preview screen.
