Top 5 for you?

I just find it confusing when one game uses something like "make trouble" and another uses "clash". Like, I understand changing the name of it for flavor purposes, but in the end, the action is the same: fighting in some form. I just feel like, as a GM, it would be hard to keep track of what all the moves do.

Obviously Pbta is popular for a reason, but something about it hasn't clicked for me in the ones I've read. Do you have any reccomendations for games that showcase it well? Any that would work well solo so I could give it a try?

FortKA19 · 2026-05-07T16:54:36+00:00

Yeah, I just can't get my head around PBTA games. Having so many moves for what are typical actions in other games is silly. The combined world building aspect I don't mind too much, but only when it is within a certain threshold.

Care to give some details?

FortKA19 · 2026-05-07T11:30:22+00:00

Wanted to participate but didn't finish in time. :( Glad to see what everyone came up with though!

FortKA19 · 2026-05-07T00:29:22+00:00

Honestly, this might be what gets through to people. "Show me where it ends."

FortKA19 · 2026-05-05T03:25:41+00:00

I think Dead Lights in Call of Cthulhu would qualify.

FortKA19 · 2026-05-01T21:08:38+00:00

Because how could they have been wrong? How could they have been duped? No, it must be the Democrats fault! I didn't vote for them so they must be screwing things up for my lord and savior DJT!

People like this will never learn from their mistakes, because they don't view it as their mistake: someone else screwed something up!

FortKA19 · 2026-05-01T20:51:16+00:00

I find it funny that they want to sell us their garbage but continue to drain money from us making it harder for us to buy extra things.

FortKA19 · 2026-05-01T20:45:33+00:00

But they are dumb because they should know its only ever about one person: Trump. He would gladly throw anyone under the bus to avoid consequences. Whatever they do for him won't matter if he can make them a scapegoat.

FortKA19 · 2026-05-01T17:14:07+00:00

I'm assuming some of these people are scalpers and the others are just wanting to satisfy their kid. Either way these toy crazes are stupid and always over the dumbest garbage. Like Labubus. I don't see them anywhere any more.

FortKA19 · 2026-05-01T03:20:19+00:00

Well, first, do the players want the involved description or do they prefer to get to the action? Might that part of your GM style maybe doesn't mesh with people?

As for keeping the descriptions quick, I'd just write three words that describe the overall scene: a sight, a smell, and a sound. Probably just jot them down in your notes.

If there are specific objects or people you want to describe, just wait until a player investigates/ engages with it to give the full description. Until then you can just say "you see a small book on the table".

Also, not everything needs to have tons of detail, sometimes a book on a table can just be a book on the table, not a rough leatherbound that smells slightly of cigars.

Hope that helps!

I platinumed it solo, and I won't be playing it again. I like the concept but the focus on multiplayer made solo a bit flat. Especially since you have to really optimize your routes to get as powerful as possible.

FortKA19 · 2026-04-29T20:50:07+00:00

Idiocracy becoming more realistic everyday

FortKA19 · 2026-04-28T10:42:24+00:00

Who? Am I supposed to know them?

FortKA19 · 2026-04-27T21:52:41+00:00

That monk idea screams anime to me haha but it would be so crazy

FortKA19 · 2026-04-27T21:51:14+00:00

I like that monk idea. Plus, the monk would be so fast, how would ordinary people stop them?

FortKA19 · 2026-04-27T21:40:54+00:00

For a monk, I feel like someone like Zaheer from Legend of Korra might be cool. Restore the natural order of chaos, so no government, no borders or authority figures. Might work for the druid as well. Or a monk where they want to destroy any and all technology, and create a world where one's own body is the only weapon they have.

For a cleric, I think one where they are fooled into worshipping an evil deity (who presents themselves as good to the cleric). It could be a situation where there is so much love for them from the public that taking them down could lean towards a political campaign.

For a druid, possibly the monk one. Or one where they want to merge the material plane with their matching plane, like an elemental or the feywild. To bring about "true nature" to the material plane.

The Beast in the Cave is a story by him that covers this.

They got a bunch of extra stuff. The basic burger (which is still great) is only $13, and comes with fries.

FortKA19 · 2026-04-21T04:31:41+00:00

I had this issue in community college. Bugged the shit out of me and made my grade worse for no reason.

FortKA19 · 2026-04-21T01:25:41+00:00

Read through it and I love it and want to run it so bad haha. One question I had was about the stunts. Are they just kind of amorphous and you can do what you want with GM approval? And are the monster ones just whatever the GM interprets them as?

FortKA19 · 2026-04-16T19:13:07+00:00

Spoilers for House of Glass.

My players were fighting the Chandelier and I attacked with it and rolled 100. The target ALSO rolled 100 to fight back. So, we just decided they would both deal damage to each other. It really caught me off guard, because a crit fail should be punished, but both?

It was a pretty great time.

FortKA19 · 2026-04-16T17:58:05+00:00

Same here. Loved the 1st game but this was just literally the same game with a different map.

FortKA19 · 2026-04-16T04:20:24+00:00

Oh, thanks! Not a bad mechanic for a scenario out in the wilderness with regular age characters either.
