I'd asked John Harper about it ages ago. If you're interested in what he said, you can read about it here:[URL unfurl="true"]http://mightyatom.blogspot.com/2011/05/apocalypse-world-guide-to-hard-moves.html?m=1[/URL](It's the reply to my comment as goblintriggers).I was not aware of the game you reviewed, so thanks for bringing it to our attention. It really helps that you have also ran it, so you got a good feel for it, and that comes across.I'm very intrigued and will probably go ahead and buy it. The mechanism of push your luck seems like a good answer to me to the question of how to evoke that pulpy Indiana Jones vibe (and also star wars to a certain extent, particularly scenes involving Solo).Also, Feelings seems to me intuitively to be the right level of abstraction for this genre."I have a bad feeling about this".At each genre, you need the right level of abstraction. Robin D Laws articulates this point very well in this article:[URL unfurl="true"]https://site.pelgranepress.com/index.php/not-a-significant-bullet/[/URL]And Feelings sounds like the way to go for pulp, based on what i read in this article. Thanks.</blockquote>
