I had a question that seemed related enough to this to put in this thread:

To what degree is it important to keep the number of stats and/or basic moves the same? The two main effects I can envision from sticking to the same number of stats and basic moves are a) focus on the game's tropes and themes, and b) being a de facto limit to the number of things you can try on one person in a scene (even though the fiction will have more to do with that)

Would a game break if you had, say, 2 or 3 more stats? Or would that just be a hell of a lot more moves to remember?

I was so happy when I heard in that interview that you're reviving Dragon Killer via an AW hack.

That's totally sweet. I've been getting the impression that it's an imminently hackable game, and even with the bits and pieces I've cobbled together (the play books, reading some of the available hacks, your blog, et cetera) I'm already bursting with ideas for games that seem like they'd fit the rules and approach. But like I said, I want to play "the real deal" first, a) because it sounds awesome, and b) so that I know what I'm tinkering with.

Unfortunately, I didn't discover the sweet AW sauce until after the playtesting was closed, and I haven't seen the full rules yet. But what I have seen is tantalizing, and these two hacks have done a lot to get me excited about the game. I've got a few ideas of my own, but I want to wait until I've, you know, read and played the real thing a bit first.

Anyway, both of these have been getting some lovin' over at Story Games:

Dead Weight
Apocalypse D&D

P.S. Is there a preferred format for topic subjects? Or should this have been a reply to specific hack forums?
