I’ve just uploaded session zero of a new playtest campaign. This one is mostly world-building and character generation, with a little scene or two thrown in as needed. Adventuring will start in earnest in the next session. Hoping to post a new episode every two weeks.

Fantastic! What are the players’ general RPG experience?
All of these folks are alumni of the school where I teach, and we used to play games together fairly often when they lived in town. Donna’s first RPG experiences were during that time. Jan and I both played when we were kids in the 70s/80s, didn’t play for 25-30 years, and came back to the fold as adults. JP, Reilly, and Sophie have all played a fair amount. JP is the only one who’s never played a PbtA game before.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out!
By the way, I was only asking so I can compare them with my own group and whether mine will be able to get Freebooters, not a criticism of your groups playing skill. In case that wasn’t clear.
I always assume the best, sir 😉
Marvellous!
Is that a map legend on Google Drawings you’re using there?
It’s not a built-in key — I uploaded a bunch of icons as .png files, which allows them to have a transparent background.
What do you think about something like this for setting up the initial frontier? I think it might help the initial moments of choice paralysis.

I love how succinct it is. I saw something similar somewhere else and took a stab at my own version but was not happy with the results. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Peter J, I may take another stab.
