Charles, I took another look at the Supernals subforum and didn't see anything on advancement, so I'm a little unclear about your advancement scheme. Could you provide or an example to point me to the document that lists it out? I'd love to see your solution.

If you just have one playbook ... I'm not sure that it's a playbook? Isn't it just "character creation"?
This, combined with the previous suggestions and my own thought muddling is a little moment of clarity. You're absolutely right. A simple character creation that skews to building around a concept to be obsessed about in flavor supported by slight mechanical advantages when pursuing said obsession in the Basic Moves. Spot on.
One way to structure something like this could be through sub-playbooks. So you have a single core playbook, but then you choose one or more sub-playbooks, perhaps 'unlocking' more during play.
This is exactly how I pictured character progression (mini playbooks, really only 2).
Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll get to writing and post something soon, hopefully!

Playbooks are awesome. Niche protection is great. I'm curious if there are any examples of single playbook hacks, however.
I'm trying to wrap my head around hacking Unknown Armies. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it's a horror game about obsession. All PCs have an Obsession. As long as 2 PCs don't have the exact same obsession, I feel like a single playbook (The Obsessed) would be all the niche protection you need as the unique nature of an obsession would make each playbook unique in execution. Someone obsessed with Guns would play out differently than someone obsessed with Observing, let's say.
So yes, any examples of single playbook hacks?
