I think as long as it runs right out of the box/book, everything is fine. But I cannot grok how to alter or brew for it at all, if something feels off or isn't quite working, I have no idea how to fix it.I also find that the best thing as a player to do is to pick a playbook first, and then make a character ... the other way round feels often like trying to jam square pegs into round holes.I found Masks an ill fit, but Monster of the Week was a fun one-shot. I legit want to try Thirsty Sword Lesbians and Blades in the Dark (stole the clock mechanic, will use it in any system I find it works in).So while I'll complain that FATE is too loosey-goosey sometimes, I at least get it. PbtA feels opaque to me, like a black box of an RPG system.</blockquote>
