I got to run Epyllion last night, my first PbtA game. It was… awkward. I felt like I was struggling to find the moves I should be making, to shoehorn the players actions into moves. I attribute it to my lack of experience with the system. But I could feel the edges of the shiny gem of a game buried in my incompetence. The game was trying to do something cool, I just couldn’t figure out how to let it.
Fortunately, my players has a good time anyway and want to continue the adventure next week. I have a long list of sections to re-read before then.
