In PBTA games, players roll two six-sided dice (or D6s) to determine whether they succeed or fail at tasks set for them by the game master. Character classes have access to a number of class-specific moves.Įmily VanDerWerff for Vox highlighted that: Likewise, "miss" often means a negative outcome that moves the narrative forward, rather than "nothing happens." Partial success often means "success at a cost," where players must select an additional negative outcome as the price of success. Success levels fall on a scale of total success, partial success, or miss. Moves are resolved by rolling two six-sided dice and adding any relevant modifiers.
Alternatively, Apocalypse World has a "seize by force" move, as the game assumes a setting where collecting scarce resources is part of the game-play experience. For example, in the fantasy game Dungeon World, characters have access to a hack and slash move, as combat is central to the dungeoneering experience. Powered by the Apocalypse games are typically centered on resolving what characters do as "moves." Characters have access to a default selection of moves based on the expectations of the game setting.
