The Adventure Log begins a new chapter in Halcyon City, home to generations of superheroes who have defended it, with the latest generation of teenagers donning their costumes and deciding who they’re going to be. Played using Masks: A New Generation from Magpie Games the story of High Impact Heroics will follow a certain team of these young heroes as they fight for their place in the City’s history. In this Prologue we learn who they are and how they came together as a team, and then I talk about asking the questions needed to get your players to help build the world, in this game and others!

Update to #Wyrdish, my rules-light, Destiny-inspired, sci-fantasy PbtA hack about immortal wyrdens that can be run without a GM!

The backbone is being built now. Some of the classes still need more abilities to really flesh them out, I want to shoot for about 10-12 each. The races also need racial abilities filled in. Then there will be lists and tables all full of different prompts — items and weapons, places, enemies, trouble, treasure, story hooks, etc.

Also check out the character sheet — you print it landscape and fold in half for a cute little minimalist four-page booklet/playbook.

It is probable that I shall soon have to run Dungeon World for the first time, having read it through once and played it once. Obvs, I’m going to read it again.

Anyway, this may be a stupid question that I could perfectly well get from the book, but – do you actually have dungeon maps in dungeon world? I mean, do you plan out the detail of places the players might go, and stuff they might encounter, like you would with D&D? Or do you just sort of come up with a bunch of things they might come up against and then throw them in as needed, making up the detailed geography as you go, like you would (well, like I would) in Apocalypse World?

Anything else I should know about prepping and running DW?

So I got that recent Bundle of Holding and also bought The Sprawl.

So I got that recent Bundle of Holding and also bought The Sprawl. What other PbtA games should I check out if I want to eventually write my own game? I want to see as many interesting takes on the system as I can.

I’m going to be running my first campaign of Apocalypse World: Fallen Empires this weekend.
