Paradigm: That's one of the systems we overhauled. It works much better now

I'll be interested to see that! :)

It's modeled pretty heavily after the Spell Foci from Jacob Randolph's alternate "Mage" playbook for Dungeon World. We've taken that and made it applicable to paradigms in the world we're working in.

As If - Jacob B and Eric W are the creators of this game, though it's not yet ready to be hosted alongside completed games.

Aburney - After this latest round of design changes, Rotes are out! They made about as much sense as you described (often no roll involved, just tags, and sometimes they would trigger a move on their own, so they didn't really have much place.) There have been a number of major design changes since I last updated, and once we finish writing the preliminary GM section, we're going to put it out for testing.

On that note, Weaverchilde, if you're still interested, we should have a game for you to test in the next couple weeks, so be on the lookout.

I'll be taking down the public share soon, to allow us to upload the latest version. Thanks for your patience and your interest!

Thanks Weaverchilde! I made some big steps forward this morning, despite not being able to playtest this past weekend. My body chooses the most inconvenient times to get sick. Anyway, at the same time as redesigning some of the subsystems, and finishing up the playbooks, I've started work on the outline of the actual text. If you might be interested in trying things out before the text is complete, shoot me a PM or something, otherwise I'll keep people updated here as I keep working.

This has me extremely excited for the next release, thanks for sharing!

I'm finally starting a thread here for Consensus, a game that a good friend and I have been working on for the better part of a year. The roots of the inspiration are in Mage: the Ascension, Powered by the Apocalypse engine. It has since grown into its own thing, a game of dark themes, urban mages, and what being a Mage means to us. The preliminary Agenda, Principles, and GM Moves have been written down, some of them shamelessly stolen from Apocalypse World. The Moves are, in their current iteration, the most fluid I've seen them. There are currently 6 playbooks complete or nearly complete, 2-3 more "base" playbooks are planned, and one "extra" playbook as well. I've been playing it as often as I can with the closest I have to a "home group," and things are coming along swimmingly.

So, with the forum's very fair warnings about not getting your hearts set on things, what interests you? What would you like to know? Anything you think we'd be amiss not to include or think about?
