Is anyone interested or already familiar with games like Apocalypse World or derivations from it (Powered by the Apocalypse/PbtA)? I come from a background of more traditional TTRPGs but in the last few years I’ve shifted over to these sorts of systems and games, for various reasons. I also like what games like Fate were trying to do, although for my taste, the mechanics and systems of Fate feel like they still come first. Whereas “Story” or “Narrative-focused” games seem to emphasize the importance of the shared fiction and the characters over the “game” aspects of play. I think they’re a natural fit for groups who prefer more proactive campaigns, but I wondered how other people here feel? I mean, it seems like Forged in the Dark (a la Blades) was a big impetus for the epiphany toward more proactive campaign structures, and FitD games are often considered related if not in the same bucket as PbtA. OSR games are adjacent and related but these are kind of different.
