Today on the NSR discord (with @lumpley ) we discovered that “fiction first” doesn’t come from Apocalypse World. At least, not directly. It seems to have entered the discussion around AW, particularly we think from people applying the MC principle “make a move, but don’t speak its name” to PCs.

We think the first time “fiction first” appeared in a game was Dungeon World.

I definitely think it’s worth re-reading the actual MC principles again.

Smartest RPG you've played?

I have to steal a answer from a friend of mine: the smartest RPGs are those whose game mechanic actually leads you to attempt certain things, instead of merely telling you you can do certain things.

His example was #apocalypseworld. My example is #Gumshoe which has specific rules for gathering clues. As someone who enjoys running horror mystery games, I was really delighted to use this system instead of trying to do the same with D&D.
