Vaults of Vaarn is the best game ever written.
Sure, the math on contested saves confuses me. Sure, there are too many stats. Sure, I don’t know how I would play a literally two dimensional character.
BUT YOU CAN GET A PET ROCK.

Yeah, that’s where the trad influence comes in. The GM can always make a move in PbtA fashion, when there’s a golden opportunity or the players “look to you to see what happens next.” But you also have very specific uses for Fear.

Today's favorite mechanic is the final confrontation of Deathmatch Island. At the end of every island there's a deathmatch showdown. The rules tell you who wins the combat. But the rules also tell you how to bypass those rules and make up your own ending.

Magpie Games has taken some heat recently, but I'll say this in their defense: My Urban Shadows 2e book fell apart. They put a replacement in the mail 48 hours after I emailed them. I'm pretty happy with that service, ngl.
