  • I know it's not quite the same, but Song of the Beast by Carol Berg is kinda like this. The book starts after the main character is released from a 20 year prison sentence and he's trying to find out why he was in there in the first place

  • I know Stars Without Number came first, but I figured that with the context of fantasy games Worlds Without Number made sense to talk about first. Once I brought up Worlds Without Number I felt that Stars Without Number should be mentioned too

  • idc what anyone says, Blades in the Dark is not a PbtA game. It has like 2 things in common with PbtA systems

    Also PbtA systems are great for a story focused games, but they're not exactly tactical and characters tend to be a little static. They focus on story pretty much to the exclusion of everything else. If you want story though go for it, they're great. I prefer more of a balance personally.

    Worlds Without Number focuses on sandbox play and strikes a nice balance with story and combat. Stars Without Number is basically the Sci-fi version. Both are free with premium versions that have a bit of nice optional content, like more powerful options for heroic characters and Star Wars style space magic

  • The Fertility and Health words can be surprisingly nasty in Godbound. Fertility comes with an end the bloodline ability and a cancer beam, and health comes with diseases and involuntary resurrection. Scary shit for such friendly sounding powers
