tonight in my forbidden lands FINALE: torched a hallway of demon flesh, met a weird elfin monkey baby, ganking a wizard, dunked a magic crown into a demon portal, got aged 30 years, got scared, cut off the demon-sorcerer's daughter fused to his body, got her to blow up her dad, and saved the realm

I know I couldn't be a woman because I, as a white beardo, explicitly stated in a video that I wasn't looking for and didn't need advice, and am sitting at dozens of comments giving it anyway and it's driving me mad

tonight in my 🔺game! chatted with godlike beings at a hot pot shop, laid cards on the table, gave the GM therapy, opined on the status quo, lasered a brainworm, got raided by cops and accused of murder/fraud, called in favors from JB Pritzker, a priest, a dog, and a cat, and rigged a slot machine

tonight in my elfgame: opened our brain to the world's psychic ooze pit, THREE separate expeditions into the massive slime drain; conscripted a pixie (gone but not forgotten) and sent the clone down twice, met a giant crystal hand and a horrific fleshmass, and took some notes on our observations

today in my dragon game: overwhelmed a robot army, caught the interest of a roc while climbing a sheer cliff, saved a dwarf with bird calls and hoisting, nailed down our funeral plans, bear-baited a mutant with magical cancer, and found a pool with crystals in it--classic!

We've never played Apocalypse World on @friends-table.bsky.social, and yet I think it's pretty fair to say that the show (and a big part of my career) relies on its existence.
Couldn't be more excited for this new edition. And I already have multiple ideas around how we might play it...

this is the crux of it. it was truest, perhaps, back in 2010, but it is as true now as it ever was that being fluent in Apocalypse World is like seeing the matrix of modern RPG design.
Whether you back Apocalypse World for not, it's going to impact your gaming. But in backing it, you'll get to see it coming.

tonight in my 🔺game! made a bowler hat and fantasy map, became the clientele of a Chinatown hot pot place for a meeting with Lady Luck herself, did an MRI on her to find and "surgically" extract a brainworm we then trapped inside the music playing in the restaurant, and forced the GM into therapy

I repeat, if you have enjoyed (or designed!) a tabletop roleplaying game in the past 15 years, you owe it to yourself (and the Bakers!) to make this the most successful Kickstarter of all time.

tonight in my elfgame: slapped a pig demon into the acid lake (twice), lost a lotta blood, blinded 'em with the sun, cast spells to impress an elemental friend, set up a fort on Slime Mountain, avoided contemplating the end, explored Slime Cavern as gas, and bought a one-way ticket to a lower level

today in forbidden lands: made camp in a magic thunderstorm, resurrected a mercy-kill, looted the fuck out of a room, parkoured over a boulder trap, dinner with our demon friend, crammed forty dudes through a dungeon entrance, did the hokey pokey with animating statues, saved youths from dissection

"you ever meet a wizard who was this stupid?"

tonight in my elfgame: fought tidal waves with tidal waves, forgot the last 7 hours, fought tentacles with tentacles, sent 5 undead river spirits packing and one to a new home, landed in slime world, attempted to sneak up on a demon gang and squelched and clanked our way to getting caught

Working on the AW3rd kickstarter (T minus 6 btw) and I notice that listed under Meg's and my name it says "11 created • 347 backed."
Okay first of all, 347 backed, wowie.
But of those 347, probably around 300 have been PbtA. That's a lot to be confronted with on a Tuesday morning.
