I’m ambivalent about PbtA, I am a fan of AW. PbtA makes it easy for me to play a new game. I need to also play non-PbtA games or I get bored. I’m probably not interested in some fiddly new mechanics that revel in their innovation unless the experience is worth it, that is a hill to climb. The 400 page trad gamebook is an equivalent (or higher) mountain to climb. So many games, so little time. Easy to play an old game I know/have nostalgia for or a PbtA game that I “almost” know. Decisions.
