Tulpa posted:Fair enough, and I think I'm probably more critical of MH than most people here as I would class it as 2nd-circle instead of 3rd-circle (come to think of it, there hasn't actually been a 3rd-circle game) I'd be interested in your take on Cartel. It doesn't fall into the trap of using the same basic moves, damage is handled very differently, etc. Perhaps too early to judge given that it's not out in final form yet.

malkav11 posted:Note that Cartel isn't the final game but an "ashcan" edition. That said, I suspect that's not the primary thing most people will be buying this bundle for. It's playable if you know the general system. It's also excellent -- the addiction rules are very good in particular.

Golden Bee posted:What're the classes of Cartel? I cannot legitimately recommend it in that case since you can pick up the ashcan separately for $10. Classes: El Cocinero (the drug cook, think exactly who you're thinking of) El Halcón (the hawk, errand runner) El Narco (the boss) La Esposa (the spouse, innocent caught in the criminal underworld) La Polizeta (the cop) La Sicaria (the hit woman) You can grab the playbooks and basic moves here.

This all speaks to the importance of system mastery in Blades. I love the game but it’s not immediately obvious how to play and I think players really need to engage with the rulebook to get the most out of it. Which is not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s fine! My players and I have all vastly enjoyed our year long campaign but I won’t go back to the system next time for this particular group.

Elector_Nerdlingen posted:Thanks! It was Copperhead County, but Ruralpunk sounds like extremely my poo poo. Last I heard Cassandra Khaw was stepping away from game design but the beta Ruralpunk rules seem fairly playable. Might want to download them just in case the site dies, though.

Golden Bee posted:New worldwide wrestling came out. The new art looks pretty keen. I'm using the maneuver art as an aid for non-wrestling fans in a FATE wrestling campaign I'm in. Really handy. I think the presentation is also better; it's a good upgrade all around.

Blind Azathoth posted:Unfortunately, no, there is no comprehensive and up-to-date list of PbtA games. The Bakers host a list on the Apocalypse World site, but that one relies on authors personally asking Vincent or Meg to add their game, so it's also very spotty, out of date, and doesn't include any games in the Forged in the Dark and Belonging Outside Belonging sub-families (except for Blades and Dream Askew/Apart themselves). They dropped that list a week or so ago: "Once I maintained a database of PbtA games at this location, but I fell behind and now there are, friends, I kid you not, hundreds and hundreds. Too many to catch up!" The page links to games tagged appropriately on various RPG sites, though.

What do you know? We’re getting an Apocalypse World SRD after all this time. https://dice.camp/@lumpley/109700969578909759 quote:After 12 years' worth plus a spate of requests this past weekend, I'm doing the unthinkable and/or unconscionable and writing up an Apocalypse World SRD.

Chernobyl Princess posted:I have not heard of Cartel and this sounds extremely up my partner's alley. Is this another PbtA game? Yeah, it’s from Magpie, and it focuses on Mexican cartels and crime. The Kickstarter will never complete but the core book is solid.
