I'm thinking of adapting the Forged in the Dark Faction and Turf mechanics as an additional way for characters to spend XP in a longer game. It's interesting to me that Every FitD book seems to have approached it significantly differently.Permalink On twitter.com

Most of the other mechanics seem to carry over pretty close to whole but not that one. Forged in the Dark makes it quite complex, w/multiple factions, turfs, faction levels, and interacting clocks, but both Scum and Villainy and Hack the Planet have different simplified versions.On twitter.com

Implies to me that there are likely a lot of house rules and modifications out there, people doing a lot of hacks on that part of the Forged in the Dark system. Curious if anyone has read or played any favs, or has warning about trip-ups.Permalink On twitter.com

Forged in the Dark is obviously a spin off of Powered by the Apocalypse and shares a lot with the other system, making pieces of it easy to adapt and understand, but where it gets unique, there seems to be a lot fewer people writing about it.Permalink On twitter.com

It's the Crew mechanics as well, where FitD really distinguishes itself and pulls most away from PbtA, which is why a group-mechanics focused game like Quietus makes sense as FitD, even if it strips the system down so much as to make it nearly unrecognizable.Permalink On twitter.com

I'd def like to get my hands on more Forged in the Dark books that aren't quite so... sequential-crime-rpg oriented.Permalink On twitter.com

There are a lot of interesting mechanics in the FitD books I've been reading thus far, but the fact 3 of the 4 are 'pull together a crew and steal stuff' books makes understanding the underlying mechanics more difficult, because you don't get to see them expressed differently.Permalink On twitter.com
