[QUOTE="Breaking Star Games, post: 9149571, member: 7042067"] Here is the link to the Discord: [URL unfurl="true"]https://magpiegames.com/pages/magpie-games-official-discord[/URL] Magpie Games are behind Masks, Urban Shadows, Cartel, Avatar Legends and my favorite PbtA Root: The RPG. I think they do a great job on making mechanics drive player motivations while letting you (IMO) stay in the Actor Stance, very much like Apocalypse World. The classic example of Clearing Conditions in Masks by doing classic teenager drama things - lashing out when you are Angry, is just perfect. Super friendly (albeit firmly modded) community. They do 2 monthly events (most of the time) a Community Play Day where anyone can sign up to run games and get a sweet $10 gift card for their store, which you can use as a discount for their games or play with some Professional GMs on Magpie's games site called Curated Play Program. Its a cool way to learn some more GM styles and learn one of their games though I found they can fill up fast. The other event is the one I mentioned. Its the Designer Day where designers can get playtesters for their systems. Its a great resource I hope that I hope to make use of someday. Generally they offer sign ups about 3-4 weeks ahead for those GMing and 2-3 weeks ahead for Playing, so its easiest to get a spot if you are proactive and know your schedule. But you often see slots open the day of, so if you find yourself free, you are likely to grab a spot if you are fast and keeping an eye on discord. [/QUOTE]
