Yeah for sure. I’ve only run Dungeon World once and I had a real hard time figuring out how it was supposed to work, even after reading a good bit of extra supplementary explanation material. I think they’re hard games to teach yourself (but also maybe skill issue on my part 🤔

Oh shit we had duckpin bowling where I grew up in Connecticut and people always look at me like I’m making it up when I tell them about it.

I think they’re games with a lot of procedures that have a lot of room for improvisation and interpretation.

But I agree with the war of styles part; it’s people bringing their gaming baggage and assuming they know how something works based on the other games they play. Which I think is a hard thing to overcome; I’ve been playing Dragonbane and CoC and pretty regularly mix rules up (or port in DnD-isms).

I think it’s kind of a misnomer that pbta games are rules light. Apocalypse World is a thick little book! And there’s a lot of moving pieces, but it gets boiled down to one mechanic thats not super representative of the actual game (I’ve been super guilty of this). ⬇️

I’m guessing it’s because people try to run them like DnD or whatever but it’s interesting nonetheless.

I don’t think there’s ever been a type of game where you see, “No no no, you’re doing it wrong, it’s supposed to work like…” more than PbtA games.

FAR is the current RPG rule book i use in my games. It's another rules light, pseudo osr thing. I just added to dungeon zines to it. I will keep adding more content as I work on it but the price will go up as it grows. It's $10 right now. Available on itch and dtrpg. natetreme.itch.io/far

My 9; no particular order. WoW and Skyrim should probably be on here, given the amount of time I’ve played them. And probably Binding of Isaac! And probably Fallout 2 bc that’s my real fave, but the first one was what got me e hooked (also came at a real formative/hard part of my childhood).
Covers of video games: Fallout, Final Fantasy 3 (really 6 but the SNES one was the formative one for me), Chrono Trigger, Dark Souls (though I should have used the remaster because that’s the one I played), Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Legend of Zelda a Link the Past, Super Metroid, and Super Mario World.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I would love to know 1. How many of these sold and 2. Who was buying them bc I have a suspicion a lot of people bought them ironically and/or to be, “Hey check this weird shit?”

Yeah I can't see them flying off the shelves anywhere else! Also, even in the US (and in a very conservative state especially at that time) it was still somewhat of a rarity. I saw it once at a big convention, but never encountered it at local game store or anything.

If I recall (and it’s been a long time) I think they had like a whole line of ‘war on terror’ d20 slop. Like I’m pretty sure you can find Saddam Hussein DnD 3.5 combatible stats. Bleak shit! And yeah 100% cringe-horny d20 over war-horny d20 🤮

I remember seeing this at a DragonCon around that time and even early 20s me that it was in bad taste. And just like generally confusing? Who wants this??

It's no longer enough to give APs a tut-tut about continuing to play DnD. There are plenty of things that disqualify the Hasbro Ampersand but it's simply unacceptable to claim you support queer and marginalized people while still boosting the Brand.

I allow it if the target is unaware of the attacker; generally means the attacker needs to make a roll to sneak up on the target.

I don’t know anything about the rest of dimension 20, but I know Brennen only uses dnd. Even when he gm’d for CR, right when Daggerfall was out and making waves, he used DnD.

Ok cool that’s good to know! I find the idea kind of inherently stressful (it’s one of the reasons I never tried a Persona game) so I wanted to do a little more research before getting it. Thanks for the info!
