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.
