there is something kind of utopian to me about sports teams with a heavily international roster... not in terms of the like, actual sports of it all, just like... the world i want to live in is one where everyone's closest friends come from all around the world yknow

YES This is THE question. It's because different arenas of conflict have different risks and stakes, and Apocalypse World's moves are designed to bring its different arenas of conflict materially into play.

As a game thinker, personally, I'm not interested in distinguishing games clearly from other kinds of behaviors and activities. I'm interested in finding and learning from the games that are hiding, unidentified, unrecognized, unacknowledged in the other things we do.

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:

more sports stories should be about losing. most people watching any sporting event are fans of one of the teams that loses. most people love a team that loses. why is so much sports media about the winners?

the combination of the prevalence of this 'rule zero' and the fact that 5e is badly designed mean that it basically teaches a lot of people entering the hobby that rules are pointless bullshit you should ignore--which i don't think is a great starting point

also, i hate how it's standard language for games to differentiate betwen 'the gm' and 'the players'. the gm is playing the game too! it's a small linguistic quirk but it feels microcosmic of a larger more prevalent attitude towards facilitator roles

a rulebook should never give players 'permission' to change or break the rules -- the 'permission' is inherent in the fact that it's an inanimate object that can't do anything to stop you. it's at once condescending to the players and denigrating to your own design work

The irony of the perennial "[insert indie darling here] is bad because it tries to dictate to you now it should be played" thing from the D&D crowd is that D&D also spills a tremendous amount of ink explaining how it ought to be played; they just don't know that because they never read the books.

I understand that most people using the word "vizier" as a fantasy trope aren't actually aware of its etymological origin, and I'm not claiming I've never done it myself, but "we say the word 'advisor' in Arabic when we want to denote that the advisor in question is evil" still isn't a great look.

Your father was… 
A Shire-reeve of the Kingright, given a prestigious post fending off barbarous reivers at the Northcollies (+1 Authority)
The Pennet of a small clan, hired by an erl of the Caff to map the glades of the Coddeon your family has known for generations (+1 Learning)

Your forester’s lodge is… 
A grand old house, with hides on every wall and a shelf of well-kept bestiaries (+1 Learning)
A humble shack, fit only to come home and sleep in once the day is done (+1 Quickness)

You consider a Forester to be…
A natural philosopher, as learned as any other—as a scholar studies History through the examination of chronicles, you study Nature through the examination of Beasts (+1 Learning)
A simple man—a woodcutter and hunter, and to claim more than that would be a sordid pretension (+1 Strength)

When you drink, you tell others of the night you came across…
A barrow, three chains long. From the sealed stone doors you heard emanate a lively chorus in a tongue you have never heard since  (+1 Learning)
A famed reiver, hands caked in raid-blood. He had suffered some great loss, and leaped at you without care for his life. You were richly rewarded for his head (+1 Strength)
The Deyle’s own black hound, thundering through the wood. Its cry was not a dog’s cry, but the shriek of a man damned. You ran from it then and are running from it now (+1 Quickness)

You greatly esteem the King of Beasts…
The Dragon, for his grand majesty (+1 Authority) 
The Basilisk, for his low cunning (+1 Learning) 
The Hydra, for his endless perseverance (+1 Strength)
The Water-Horse, who is as swift on land as water (+1 Quickness)

RASCAL NEWSLETTER: The "Genocide Is Bad" organization has determined that this owners of this golf course actively support genocide. They have asked people not to play golf here, so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it. Now watch this drive
A screenshot from Rascal's newsletter which reads:

[Blizzard Entertainment is owned by Microsoft, which has been named a "priority target" by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement over its complicity in Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. That boycott explicitly extends to Xbox and Microsoft's gaming products. I am about to spend a few paragraphs writing about a game I love (warts and all), so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it.]

World of Warcraft has once again activated the siren call, luring me back to shores I've explored for the majority of my life at this point. This latest temptation is the strongest and most devious, nostalgia mixed with big promises in the form of Wow: Forever. (The essay goes on.)

Transphobic attacks on the Welsh Gender Service, supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru, have now bourne fruit: Our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.
Over the past few weeks an attack has been launched on the Welsh Gender Service, spearheaded by right wing politicians but supported by supposedly reputable media outlets like Nation Cymru.

Now our sources in the trans community tell us that the Cardiff GIC has begun cancelling scheduled surgeries for trans patients.

As far as we know no news outlet has picked up this story yet so we feel a duty to inform our followers.We welcome the organic response already forming in the trans community, but its clear that the current methods of marches, lobbying and so on are no longer sufficient.

Trans people and our cis allies need to organise to directly take on the transphobic apparatus denying us healthcare, and keep working to build strong DIY networks in the meantime.

If there's a trans person in your community struggling today, lend them your strength. Remember, the only antidote to despair is action.
