It’s me again.

During last session we had little pvp event. There was a lot of unleash attack and getting in the way. The way how it went kept me thinking.

As one of the option after hitting unleash attack move is take something from them. We used this option to take consciousness from the target (both PC and NPC). This become the ultimate move, by quickly and successfully unleashing attack and making your target unconscious you can finish him in the next action. The opponent can only try to get in the way.

What do you thing. It makes scenes look similar as it is the most effective way of fighting.

Hi There.

I’m looking for a system to play Star Wars.

Currently first on my list is Impulse Drive. I played it and liked it. I know about Uncharted Worlds but i’ve never red it. Ther is also original SW system by FF Games.

Can you recommend any of these? Is Original SW system approachable for someone who is playing mostly PBTA systems? Maybe you have different idea

Thanks in advance

Hi There

I’m using my time on sick leave to create a playbook for Urban Shadows. I’m not sure if it’s any good. I would appreciate your opinion. You can also leave comments in the file. Cheers

PS You can also comment on my English language f* ups so I can correct them 🙂

Hi there!

Another question from me 😀

Our pack is not native English speakers. We are Polish. This makes some translation issues.

In US there is a move for mislead, trick and distract. Distraction does not generate any translation issue but mislead and trick means pretty the same thing in Polish or very similar one. Moreover there can be a few translation. Also english dictionary definition does not clarify the thing.

I would appreciate if you could give me clear example of when mislead kicks in and when trick. Understanding this is essential for Tainted – Don’t look at me and Fae – In our Blood.

Sorry for being dumb but we had conversation about this and i feel that we are missing something. Please help!

Hello community.

Me and other players together with MC are trying to establish the fiction for all the archetypes before the actual game session. During that process we encountered some disagreements. As one player will be playing Vamp we need to elaborate on the feeding and hunger for that archetype. We designed a few stages of vampirism. Corps eaters -> blood suckers -> emotion eaters (last the highest). Players is the emotion eater.

I think that it should be a nuisance for the character. I would go as far as feeding dayly is necessity. Being a vampire gives immortality and supernatural powers but with cost.

The player and MC want hunger to be kick in only in presents of a tasty bit (person with intense emotions) not as regular feeding need.

In your opinion what is the intention of playbook? How important the feeding process should be for a vamp? Should feeding only be used when character wants benefits of the move? How often in your experience should a vamp eat?

We know that in fiction we can go with everything but we don’t want to loose the essence of the archetype.

Hi everyone!

We have issues deciding scene about gambling of two PC characters. Basically they were playing card game. Scene was very anticlimactic because we could not come up with interesting moves to decide who is winning. Do you have any ideas for a general gambling move. I looking for a move that can be used for playing poker, dice, chess etc. We play DW so Wisdom would be the best resource to use for this roll

What is your interpretation of ‘specialists’ tag for small Pusher gang. I would apriciate examples. Thanks

Hi fellow netrunners!

Thanks to recent research and my love for tags system implemented in all PbtA RPGs, I have created a list of tags for The Sprawl.

I listed all tags that I could find in the rulebook, additionally I wrote some of my ideas.

These list should be treated as an explanation supplement to the game. Not English native speakers have trouble understanding nuances between some of tags (including me). I would like you to add comments to the tags, briefly explaining how you see specific tag’s functionality, both system-wise and fiction-wise.

Additionally I would like to ask you to post your tags ideas. I wish for this list to serve as inspiration for MC and players.

Thanks and see you in the flow.
