My day job (self-employed) includes wandering around the internet and keeping track what people say about PbtA. Occasionally a new one will pop up.

Lately I've been seeing "in a PbtA game, you shouldn't be rolling dice that often anyway."

i don't think i like games whose mechanics "fade into the background", I like games where the fact they're a game is always present, where you can see the designer's fingerprints on everything, you know?
