Jon Hancock on Nostr: The setting idea of BB certainly appeals, but neither the system nor the unfinished ...
The setting idea of BB certainly appeals, but neither the system nor the unfinished mystery component works for me at all. As a player I simply cannot fathom the purpose of having the party invent the solution, rather than there being something to solve; Apocalypse World is also in the top three of the least enjoyable games I have ever played.
It's a pity, because the game looks to be competently made, but it's hard to ignore previous experience with this sort of thing. Ultimately, not a design for me.
