Re: cantrips I don't like them too. I think rarity of magic makes it, well, more magical. Wizards should spend most of the fights...

What are the "meta-mechanics" in Apocalypse World?

Ironically this offers a good source of distinction. When a 'modern' game has lots of players or releases it is a victim of a syndrome...

A fair of PbtA games are not the result of what I would call intentional design. You can often see it when the basic moves are basically...

Then within a discussion of tabletop games, such a definition is useless, it describes nothing. Time has no relation to quality, or even...

I would pick very unknown but amazing Unofficial Elder Scrolls RPG, loosely based on Dark Heresy 40k RPG. Why: There is a lot of...
