Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 12hYeah 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 🤔 020
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 12hOh 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. 010
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 15hI think they’re games with a lot of procedures that have a lot of room for improvisation and interpretation. 010
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 17hBut 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). 130
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 17hI 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). ⬇️ 330
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 18hI’m guessing it’s because people try to run them like DnD or whatever but it’s interesting nonetheless. 020
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 18hI 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. 320

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 2357

Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My 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). 050

Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I 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?” 010
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yeah 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. 020
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026If 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 🤮 120
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I 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?? 140

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. 9240113

Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I 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. 010

Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Ok 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! 101
Scott @scarvis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026How was the time limit? I was gonna pick it up but saw it had that and ended up getting Mortal Shell 2 instead (which I’m enjoying a lot!). 100
