Just for your information, there is an explicitly leftist/inclusive FKR Discord server. Play worlds, not rules... doesn't dismiss all published games. Quite the opposite: take those manuals and use them as setting. Play them. Use the fluff, of course, maybe even the crunch (as you say) to...

Re: Axes in the Night, how comes the PC is not killed in that example? because the player says it... Imagine a back and forth conversational combat/conflict like Dogs, but without dice. Simple as that. Genre enforcing/situation clarifying discussions instead of mechanics, and if a partecipant...

Realistic as in Not Pulpy. Ok, then Don't have time is implausible, maybe Don't want to explain them for whatever reason? See above

Byzantine ;) No, I just meant that sometimes things are just easier done than discussed. I'm pretty confident that anyone of you folks could Gm such a game easily, in a principled manner with satisfactory results.

Let's say I'd like to partecipate in a game of shared trust of yours, and you run it tonight for me and some new folk. You don't have time to prep before, nor to explain rulesets at the table. Would you run it extemporarily, freeform, free kriegsspiel, Gm-decides, whatever rule you see fit in...

My goal, reached running a realistic Cthulhian campaign, but still work in progress in my OSR, is to have exactly the above kind of exchange at the table, without any rule or dice roll (ok, maybe one at the end sometimes). Disclaimer: I own a copy of DitV and ran it. I'm also proud of having...

Well, my friend. I'm just responding politely and honestly to questions you asked quoting me as if they're not rethorical ones. Anyway I appreciate you speaking frankly. I've read with interest all your play reports of various games, from 4e shenanigans to the Green knight lately. Besides many...

From FKR bloggers I've read, an answer would be: the Referee (Gm) "under constraints" from genre, setting, rules, metacurrencies. I guess it really depends on who you ask and what they're playing. My take is of a malleable playstyle that can fit a variety of tables and games. My approach would...

Dark Empires is a mini setting written for a Mini Setting Challenge. Simple as that

Well, I'nt gonna argue about a three sentences play loop in a white room. I proposed my own provisional one. Since my very first Basic dnd game, I know for a fact that Gm Decides All can suck pretty badly. I started game-mastering soon after and advocating for player agency and authority since...

An MC could keep the game at the basic conversational level playloop of "player declares, Gm tell outcome" as per Baker himself. I could also come up with any sort of fictional reasoning why moves won't trigger. This just for the sake of argument, by the way.

@Ovinomancer My bad. I used notorious by the italian meaning of "notorio" : famous, well known and regarded.

Yes. I think it's a matter of... opportunity? Practicality? I really want to play some Vampire the masquerade again. But I'm never going to touch that ruleset again. Still, to my group vampire means manipulating bunch of D10s. I could run it tonight going FKR, freeform, diegetic, fiction only...

Thinking about the play loop: Gm, players, or random tables introduce a situation. If no one does, Gm is obliged to do it. Discussion on details until satisfaction, Gm is obliged to have final say, by fiat or any resolution, if consensus is not perfectly reached. Players announce a general...

I argue I could do the same in apocalypse / dungeon world if I really wanted, and not let you trigger any move, just describing in the fiction how they could'nt apply. Would I go against principles? Probably Yes, but same would you. The 16hp dragon notorious [edit: I meant well known and...

I remember the smelly chamberlain ;)

AFAIK again, yes it was honoured, dice were rolled as an ad-hoc ruling since PvP situation, and to your last point: yes, I guess so.

Basically that's how this hobby started, Arneson did that with a fellow player and Wesely came up with something in response to that action declaration AFAIK

Allow me a thought experiment, and see if it makes sense. Let's pretend you (I mean you and your group) are so in love with the Duskvol setting, after playing Blades a lot, that you want to explore it from every angle possible, maybe even expand on the lore. You decide to liberally make any...

Thanks for the tip. I had skimmed before over the entries at J. Parkin's blog, but now this one is a candidate for our Christmas session between old friends, if it will end up with me gming.
