It’s another episode where Rach and Rich answer questions from listeners about playing PbtA games

Time Codes:

1:06 – From James Mullen : if the Moves I’ve picked from a playbook turn out to be sub-optimal for where the story is going, what should I do? Stick with them, ask the MC if I can select new Moves or ask the MC to shift the story so that I can use the Moves I’ve picked?

8:22 – From David LaFreniere : How should players best facilitate their characters interacting in a hostile way? Follow up, how can the MC help facilitate or, if the game situation/system seems appropriate, encourage players to have their characters engage in hostile ways?

18:20 – From Marc-Alexandre Dube : What materials could the player use to easily organize the information about the character. PbtA abstracts a lot of things, but most moves from most playbooks are a case of “specific over general”. Which mean (you’d need to) memorize all the chosen playbook moves on top of the general moves (and the special moves).

27:41 – Marshall Miller asked several questions!

28:03 – What are the best PbtA games for kids?

30:07 – Which are the best PbtA games for PbF?

33:10 – What’s the best PbtA game for 1 player + 1 MC?

39:41 – What’s the best PbtA game for a large group (e.g. 8+)?
