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

Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls
Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls
I am very pleased to announce that Mercy Falls is back!
Memories of Mercy Falls is a continuation of our popular Monsterhearts actual play series on Pocket-Sized Play. It is a direct sequel to Return to Mercy Falls, which came out last year.
This series is absolutely dynamite, probably one of my favorite I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. The roleplay is just jaw-droppingly good, and the story has all that Mercy Falls drama you know and love.
This first episode is particularly interesting, because it represents a “reset” on the story; for reasons that will be explained, everything is just kind of back to normal in Mercy Falls, and Memories is much more concerned with mundane high school bullshit than the other series. But trust: that good dark shit is still there, just under the surface.
Thanks to the fantastic players: Fraser Simons Lowell Francis Phillip Wessels and Kevthulhu. And extra thanks to Fraser for producing the show!
ALSO: We’re releasing one episode per week in the PSP feed, but you can get the ENTIRE SERIES if you’re a $2+ supporter of our Patreon: patreon.com/gauntlet
