PbtA23 January Digest
The contents of this digest were inspired by dungeon23, an exercise to create a dungeon room a day for every day in 2023. I can’t do that. Instead, I’m writing a “move” every day. A move is a piece of gaming tech used in powered-by-the-apocalypse (PbtA) games, which are tabletop RPGs descended from the systems and philosophies inspired by Meg & Vincent Baker’s Apocalypse World.  Some of these will be useful in PbtA games. Some will be useful in any game. Some are completely useless for a game but might be fun to read. It is not far off from my Reading the Apocalypse or Game Genie Apocalypse projects. This one is pay-what-you-want. Future digests will cost ya!
