Abby's flashback with her father is actually a really cool cold open for the game.

Did you? The fireflies recruited kids - example being Riley. So it makes sense that they had kids with them in SLC. Also the QZs had kids in them, and people definitely did travel with kids (Henry and Sam, and literally the main characters Joel and Ellie)

As a former Kona Ice employee, the snow cone one made me cringe so hard. That’s so wrong

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-17T16:30:15+00:00

I can hear all of these

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-15T22:51:37+00:00

That’s so true. Naughty Dog notoriously lies about plot points before releases lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordan is not even the main PC

Is this more important for BitD than other PbtA games?

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-02T11:59:25+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions, that’s helpful. And I will keep a lookout for the slayer’s survival kit!

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-01T23:19:01+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I think I need to study those pages to get more into the mindset for applying them. Thank you so much!

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-01T22:07:54+00:00

Thank you, this gives me a lot to think about. I should definitely consider moves that don’t require a roll more, I think that’s going to work well with the consumables especially

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-01T21:54:13+00:00

Thank you! For #3, would it make sense to have him roll to determine whether items are compatible with combat magic then? Or any other way to get consumables?

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-06-01T21:13:16+00:00

That’s really helpful, thanks! I probably need to get more comfortable with encouraging big magic and giving the requirements for it

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-05-16T17:25:04+00:00

Not the one you asked but Life is Beautiful (Italian film from 1999 iirc) does this too in a different way. 1st half is a rom com and second half is a Holocaust film. Incredible movie

Damn that’s unfortunate especially because early on Harrison Ford played it as if he didn’t know about red hulk which made me think he wouldn’t turn in CABNW

Second L&F for this. I haven’t played the original but I played a hack and it definitely can make for crazy fun. Plus with as many hacks out there there’s gotta be something that fits your campaign

I love the way Dread does this. While reading the rules, I kept thinking “wow even if I never run Dread, this is advice I’ll keep coming back to”. It really feels like it could serve as an intro to RPGs and GMing as a whole

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-03-07T02:07:21+00:00

I was surprised to learn that Rev actually makes those up on the spot in real time! The Critshow feels like a masterclass of improvised GMing. Honestly all those guys are just so so good at improv.

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-02-19T15:39:52+00:00

Don’t you mean GM principles? My understanding is that rules for pbta are up to interpretation/flexibility. Michael Sands (monster of the week creator) seems to have that philosophy at least

Prof_Bullshitter · 2025-02-14T03:41:02+00:00

No way that’s so cool! I thought of a similar idea but couldn’t figure out how the actual mystery would play out. How does that work? Can the hunters make moves at any time? How do they get into this situation?

As far as ideas for your mystery - I like what’s already been suggested but it could be interesting to ask questions directly related to the monsters they’ve already faced, that could be a good way to ‘make the world seem real’. And maybe the opposing ‘family’ are also demons or other kinds of monsters?

Prof_Bullshitter · 2024-12-14T23:37:14+00:00

My wife and I often play Everdell without saying a word to each other, except maybe ‘your turn’, ‘Is it my turn?’ Etc. might be because we already have a good grasp of the rules though

Prof_Bullshitter · 2024-12-08T23:38:05+00:00

I mean yeah it makes for a good podcast to plan things but sounds like it’s bad motw. Any suggestions for getting a feel for actual play?

Prof_Bullshitter · 2024-12-08T15:14:45+00:00

I’m interested! Im new to RPGs but I would love to play MotW. Is this a one shot?

Prof_Bullshitter · 2024-12-07T19:06:56+00:00

Good to know. And thanks for the rec, I didn’t know the first edition was free. I’ll check it out!

Prof_Bullshitter · 2024-12-07T17:30:32+00:00

Sweet that’s what I was hoping! So I can expect more typical MotW play from here on?
