"The rules of an RPG are pre-defined facts about your fiction. ‘If this, then that,’ abstractions to model the things which we know are going to happen. This can be good, it means we don’t have to worry about what is possible within our fictions, the rules will tell us… but it also limits the things we can explore."

I finally played Apocalypse World 2e by Vincent and Meguey Baker - I finally had a chance to try the very first PBTA - and twice!

What I love about AW2e is the engrossing post-apocalyptic setting, the riveting playbooks with cool moves, and the beautiful way of playing that this game helped to establish - a true co-construction of the world, its inhabitants, and their relationships.
