I've literally never heard of anyone playing it [PbtA]

Which is very amusing, because a lot of PbtA games don't really follow Apocalypse World that closely! Its a game that has intricate mechanics for driving and combat, not to mention running gangs/cults and being fairly deadly. 2e also has sex moves, which not a lot of people are fond of (and Burned Over/3e made off with those)

I've played a fair amount of PbtA and close relatives, mostly at a meetup I go to that does one shots. Never seen anyone playing apocalypse world. I don't really like pbta that much, though, so I'm not seeking it out.

monster of the week is fantastic, ran a campaign for a couple years and loved itI actually just finished my weekly session running MotW, our second in the campaign. I'm really liking it so far; it's probably my favorite PbtA other than the original AW so far. They seemed to understand the design philosophy better than most. The *investigate a mystery* move in particular works really well to keep the momentum of the game up.

Have played Apocalypse World. And kp4s, too. Baker's best game is the one he disowned, Dogs in the Vineyard. I dislike PbtA systems - any game whose dice rule could've been used to play Monopoly isn't an RPG with mechanics that interest me. Plus, I hate the core concept of having to constantly describe my own failures. If the DC is so high that I can barely ever succeed, I just won't do anything that requires a roll where I don't have at least a +6 and some variety of points to spend. That behavior has gotten me to have to leave two different PbtA one-shots early, because I refused to make moves that weren't guaranteed in some way, or where failure wouldn't be able to hurt me or allies.

I've played Monster of the week and Apocalypse world and Dungeon world. It's a great game!

Huge fan of PBTA's. I've played a masks campaign for two years, ran some Thirsty Sword Lesbians (love it), Dungeon World (not a fan), Blades In the Dark and might get to play some Urban Shadows. I would love to play Apocalypse World since pbta's are my favorite styles of systems so far and playing with the original material would be fun.

I am assured it was 2e
