For discussion of any and all games Powered by the Apocalypse!

Rules:

  1. Behave civily. Don't flame, insult people, or generally act in any way that would make someone want to slap you.

  2. Be inclusive. This is a safe space.

  3. Respect copyright. Do not link pirated material, do not suggest piracy.

  4. Restrict advertistments to a single post per item. This is per thing being advertised, not per poster.

  5. This is not a Looking For Group community.

This is a somewhat-exhaustive taxonomy of PbtA games, tracking ten different systemic mechanical elements in each, and a loose kind of succession between them.

Well, three years later is not "exhaustive" anymore but still a nice overview.
