I have to agree with her that it’s kind of thrilling to really feeeeel the feels when it works. But you know what? She had that experience playing Sagas of the Icelanders, which I think one could argue doesn’t really facilitate you-are-your-character immediacy. I mean jeez, you spend an hour deciding who loves/hates whom before you even play.

Dunno. There’s a lot of magical stuff that happens in a good PbtA game. I may be discounting the effectiveness of the tools. Maybe do-it-and-you-do-it is a good tool for immediacy.

It’s certainly a lower OOC load than fucking Firefly and the 18 little dice decisions you have to make every time you roll.
