If I have one gripe about the new edition, it’s that the playbooks don’t fold neatly into booklets like the old ones did. I thought they were meant to be trifolds like the original Apocalypse World playbooks, but they don’t fold well that way either. 🙁

They’re designed to be
– front: stuff you need in play most often
– back: less frequently used and character generation details
Okay yeah, that makes sense. Still gonna miss the folding booklets, just because I like them style-wise.
Yeah. I’m a fan of the folding booklets, too. Ease and accessibility is important though, and the original booklets were rather cramped.
Were there PDFs that folded into trifolds? I remember that when I ordered my hardcopy of the first edition, what I got were single-folded playbooks: a front cover, two main pages, and a back cover with miscellaneous stuff.
Andy Hauge no, never any trifold booklets for MotW – I found them a bit annoying in AW so didn’t want to replicate that.
I still like the booklet style too, but the Crooked and Spell-slinger both had too many words for it to work for the new edition.
Yeah, Dungeon World’s playbooks (sheets) were something of a touchpoint for me. I found them more useful as tools for play than most other PbtA playbook formats I’ve encountered.
