Been playing #ttrpgs for over two decades. Quit playing D&D post 3.5e and never looked back. #dndisnotforme , I prefer narrative systems like Genesys, pbta, BitD or Mutant Year Zero. Always open to experience new games, worlds and systems!
It's mostly really just letting imagination and creation rule, fictional worlds and situations together with like minded people aside from the dull day to day IRL

Yes it does, masking it is what makes it more approachable for many players. It seems a bit odd but makes it more relatable.

I see. You are ofc not obliged to anything, it would have been for sake of sharing and exchanging views 🙂 it's ok if you prefer not to.

Well yk pbta games are a very wide/loose definition per se, so that's all I can offer. If you know it better please do elaborate instead of just saying someone's opinion is wrong.
Remember the part about a conversation? I'm open to your differing view.

Mostly. If someone comes up with a 12 page backstory, I say "Great for you mate" but won't bother reading or it being read out aloud.

Yeah well things have evolved. I you want to generalize what pbta games have alike then this is one of the things.
They are definitely not mechanics first like D&D or Pathfinder.
Yes "the conversation" at the table is very important and is what creates the narrative in the end.

If your dungeon basically just is a hole in the ground with grates on top that is the exact word to describe it.

I'd go with let all of them roll and then either choose roll of that with the lowest applicable skill or the roll between highest and lowest roll.

I'd say what all pbta games have in common is the narrative first / narrative pushing mechanics plus mostly player facing dice rolls. Even newer pbta or spin-off pbta games like Brindlewood Bay or Forged in the Dark.

In der Kanalisation soll es in NY angeblich Alligatoren geben ... irbaner Mythos oder ist es eine Tatsache?

It seems odd that North isn't on top. Maps are normally oriented towards north. Definitely a creative rose with the smithing theme.

Für viele Charaktere habe ich eigene Karteikarten, die ich mir ablege oder je nach Improvisation / Spielverlauf dann mit Notizen ergänze.

Sowohl als auch. Generell bereite ich Sachen seit Jahren mit dem 7-3-1 Prinzip vor. 7 NPCs/Locations/Encounter, jedes kriegt eine Motivation, Herkunft oder Zweck. Dann jeweils 3 sensorische Beschreibungen / Adjektive und 1 Merkmal für die Präsentation am Tisch.

The 7-3-1 Technique
by Jason Cordova I often get credit for being a good improvisational GM. The players can take the story in whichever weird, unpredictable direction appeals to them and I can quickly adapt to that...

NPCs müssen ihre eigenen Ziele, Motivationen oder Prioritäten haben. Ein Bauer sorgt sich zB. vor allem um sein Vieh, ein Seemann will sein Boot seetüchtig halten etc. Dies sind keine Drachenjäger - das Verhalten oder die Aktionen der NPCs müssen plausibel sein.

Wie du sagst - die Idee bzw. das Prinzip, dass sich mehrere Caster zusammentun können ist gut, aber die Kosten dafür und die Wirkungen sind extrem unbalanciert. Die Schere zwischen Kämpfern und Zaubernden ist ohnehin schon riesig.

Da ich kein Fan von DSA bin, verstehe ich dass es für Dragonbane gemacht wurde. Ein Spiel das derzeit momentan mehr Aufmerksamkeit genießt und dessen Starter-Box auf Deutsch ein sehr guter Einstieg in die PnP Welt bietet.
