Actually, my money is still on Tappy. I might just have to stay up and listen just to see who this could be...

no joke, from the moment Kimi hinted on Discord about a mystery guest, there was a not-small contingent of folks pounding the metaphorical table and chanting Tappy.

Good to see Tappy back in a host seat, even if he is a dirty PbtAer now. ^.-

I recall saying what I have always said about how system flavors the game, and therefore all systems have merit for the genre they are intended.
Apoc World fits my playstyle as a GM. I like to do prep and see what happens... and the character sheets are holding you down, man. it is AH-MAZING to expiriance collaberative storyteling with awesome folks, rather than run them down your "chose your own adventure" style train track.
Also, there are a LOT of really shitty hacks for apoc world. That is why I say Apoc world rather than the is "PbtA" bullshit. I honestly don't care for dungeon world. I would rather play 5th ed D&D, because the flavors of the gene and system clash.
I still don't beleive in universal systems... Apoc world and the good hacks of it, like Monster hearts are very elegant systems designed to have very nebulous games. Monster of the week is also a good episodic nebulous game, because you make a monster and then push whee the characters are weak, that all. You don't write "encounters" and you don't decide on a puzzle to sovle. I like MotW less than Monsterhearts by a long shot, but it is still good fun.
I would never run a PbtA traveller gamer. Hard sci-fi is not a good genre for that system. I tried for a sec and it didn't really jive.
Much like how I am not a fan of Savage worlds for EVERYTHING, I am not a fan of "PbtA" for everything.
but Apoc world is fucking badass and I love running it. Fight me.

I'm compelled by cosmic law to mock PbtA, just for the entertaining noises that Hyve makes when I do so. My actual opinion of the system (which is that mechanically I like it, and for various reasons I am not fond of some of the skins) is irrelevant. ^.^
