To give you an idea of its reach as a brand, it's one of two PBTA tags on r/lfg (probably the biggest community for finding online RPG...

I honestly find it strange more than anything else. I enjoy PbtA games and have a lot of them. There are a lot of D&D-esque versions out...

So, in your game, there's likely a rule that says something in the neighborhood of, "When your character runs out of hit points, they...

With a Duel of Wits, you are opting in. You are staking that control over your character's autonomy to have control over the setting...
