[QUOTE="jian, post: 9678046, member: 78087"] An interesting recent entry to this rather limited pool is [URL='https://blackberry-and-holly.itch.io/our-stormy-present']Our Stormy Present[/URL], which is aimed most at narratively emulating Final Fantasy games. There are certain genre assumptions: there is always an Empire and it is always terrible; there is always a Resistance and it generally contains or recruits the PCs; there is always an Airship for the PCs to fly around in. Yes, you could definitely use it for something Star Wars adjacent too. The system is similar to PbtA but I quite like that when you take Stress it isn’t harm, it’s the risk of harm - whenever you take Stress (which can be physical, mental, or narrative) then you roll a d10 and if you roll under your current Stress total, you have to choose Fallout (whether it’s getting injured, forgetting something important later, or having an ally betray you). Finally, I am a big fan of the three suggested settings, which are fantasy (the world is invaded by the Empire of Ink), modern (Cold War with industrial magic) and post-apocalyptic (quite Snowpiercer but with added robots).
