I have a question regarding the brainer.

How is the In-Brain Puppet Strings move supposed to work?

Do you override their will by inputting a command?

I’m asking because in my group there’s a brainer that decided to use the move on a particularly “slow” npc. When he succeded, he announced that the guy was going to protect him, which is fine. What isn’t that much to me is that he kind of “mindfucked” him and now he’s docile and follows pretty much the Brainer everywere without questioning, since it’s not life threatening.

I figured it would be more like “you have to do this, if you don’t, I’ll fry your brain” type of collaboration. What’s your input on this?

I’ve been thinking about offering some of the unofficial playbooks as options in my games.

Some more material from my Apocalypse World game: a playbook expansion, Speaker for the gods.

AW LE PLaybook, where can I buy it?

AW LE PLaybook, where can I buy it? None of the linked sites/stores have the AW LE playbook available for sale, just the core. We’re winding up to play an AW campaign, so I am trying hard to get my grubbies on a it. Vincent Baker take my money!

A generic relationships table for Fiasco playsets, possibly useful for PbtA games as well…

I don’t often cross post Geek Native content to this group but I’m playing an archer at the weekend and this video spoke to me. Have we got RPG mechanics all wrong?

Angel

Angel

The angel is a healer, medic, shaman, doctor or wound dresser. They fill an important role that keeps others from dying. A hardhold without a medic is highly vulnerable. Therefore Angels will most likely have a bit of immunity. Don’t tempt them to far though or you will find yourself as slave in the dungeon.

Expect the GM to hit you with medicinal problems that everyone expects you to solve. If there are a lot of Hard characters in your game they will always give you extra work. So think how you can get the bling to keep your angel kit in check and how much you charge.

Other characters bring death.

You can bring life.

Here’s a thing I did.
