Tonight I'm grappling with the fact that the three best campaigns I ever ran were either PbtA or FitD.
And yet I haven't really designed in those spaces.

Mildly lukewarm #TTRPG take: if you are interested in a new game, particularly when you have not run one within its same family of games (like a FitD game when you haven't ever run another FitD game), RUN IT AS WRITTEN first. If you wind up tweaking something in play, that's fine. /1

...Offworlders and Noctis Labyrinth both build World of Dungeons up into great sci-fi toolkits, and the 2400 anthology marries some PbtA/FitD ideas with a rulings-over-rules minimalism that feels very OSR.

Superhero team commission that was fun. I’ve got a soft spot for street-level supers games.

I think we don’t have enough games designed for exactly that. if it works out, maybe I finally toss something on itchio. But FitD really is perfect for math-intimidated players.

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's).
I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

Mothership takes OSR gameplay into sci-fi space and correctly describes it as horror (complete with a few meta-mechanics for genre emulation), Songbirds 3e is a surreal (and quite queer) take on the dungeon adventure game that also has a menu of FitD-style downtime actions...

A great FitD iteration in a fantastic setting that's 200 fathoms deep. Should be on everyone's shelf. ❤️🙏🏻
We're seeing renewed interest in a|state - it's a really great adaptation of the already brilliant Forged in the Dark rules. In a|state you'll take the role of troublemakers trying to improve their corner of The City, pushing back against the Trusts, organised crime, et al.

I've been reading through the Vergence FitD ttrpg by @smallcoolgames.bsky.social because of Zelazny's and Wujcik's Amber. If you've run Vergence, please share your experience.

Looked at the Deep Cuts approach to Devil's Bargains, how it might apply to Bump in the Dark, and why it's the better approach:
