I am so a fan of merging more sex advice with game advice on the podcast. The hope for more of that is giving me life.

Hey, I was sorta in this one! (My bad on that, guys. I’m going to blame it on a combination of having played too much D&D lately/it being early in the morning and my imagination wasn’t turned on all the way yet.)

Jacob Densford Honestly, those sessions of DW were super-weird to begin with, so you never really stood a chance, especially coming in for the last session. I should have done a better job tying you into the fiction, but I was already kind of over that series (as evidenced by the fact we finished an hour early). I thought you were great under the circumstances. It’s definitely the last time I try to make DW be something it is not, though.

“GGG? Is he referencing Dan Savage’s acronym?”
“Yes, yes he is.”

Eadwin Tomlinson It is not. I’ll do my Blades feedback on Episode 48.

Eadwin Tomlinson Here is a summary of my current thinking on BitD: It may not be Best Game of the Year, but it’s probably Most Game of the Year.

Jason Cordova what does ‘Most’ game of the year mean? Is it a positive?

Isa Wills You know, it has a lot going on. In general, my view of the game is pretty positive, though. The crew tracking and clocks are a really neat way of organizing and presenting a long-term game with lots of pieces on the board. The flashbacks and Devil’s Bargains are really neat. It requires a fair bit of mastery, though, and I don’t think it’s ideal for anything but a long campaign.

Jason Cordova Gotcha. Yes it does seem very much like a campaign driven game with interactions with other gangs and NPC’s, affecting relationships positively and negatively based on play. I think I need to wait for the actual artefact to really understand the game, as I’m rubbish at reading pdfs.

Jason Cordova You just made me laugh really noisily with “Most Game of the Year.”

Good episode! I like the implied distinction that Giving is external and Game internal.

Do any of you DW experts have examples of more of those flags? They have a handful on the actual article, but I’m curious what others you’ve come up with.
Also, would just using Hx instead of bonds work? It might slow down xp, but it would make the help move more significant (at least 1/3 of the time).

David Jay We actually cover the Flags a bit more in Episode 11 of Discern Realities (should be out on Thursday), but here is our sheet for The Sorrow. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j0VcmQxMeqzcfFgJrinfk33HQ8D_5W-IM8eKtb2D0Do/edit?usp=sharing
