Jumping on board the Uncharted Worlds train. Really love the game.

1. Welcome aboard!

2. Welcome! Have you been a player or GM?

3. PbtA is a fast train compared to other game-systems.  You know all that science-fiction stuff, so get on with it!

4. Haven’t played or run yet. Just looking for an sci-fi game that doesn’t require massive amounts of prep and math.

5. Well you’re in luck in the low-prep, low-maths department 🙂 Hope you get to take the game for a spin soon!

   I do try to run semi-regular one-shots on Google Hangouts to playtest Far Beyond Humanity (the expansion to UW), and a few others also run their game out of here, so keep an eye out if you’re interested in a virtual session.

6. Definitely

7. PbtA games take some prep.  The trick is to imagine a flow of NPC and Factional action and the consequences of player failure.  The world advances to some bad outcome they are supposed to prevent.  Work out a few INTERESTING consequences so you aren’t stuck rehashing the same old consequences time and time again.

8. That’s good prep, though. It’s the statting up that always drives me mad.
