In the post where we’re listing all the Sci-Fi games we could come up with, there’s a distinct lack of PBTA games. And I get it… there’s probably too many to list.

But even if I have my Sci-Fi needs fulfilled (perhaps for the moment, and for the most part) there are a few games that I’d still like to play some day. This is one of them.

Why? Because it’s straight and to the point. I tell myself that one of these days, when I think of a plot for a Star Wars Worlds one-shot adventure, I can grab this and get rolling in 5 minutes.

A lot of people dislike PBTA, but I actually find it valuable. I think PBTA is particularly good at short adventures and one-shots. For longer campaigns? Not so sure. One of my favourite (non-scifi) games, Kult (!kult@ttrpg.network), uses PBTA in its newest version. They did try to think ahead to advancement for longer campaigns, but would it be enough for a regular multi-year group? I don’t know.

Just from this small post, there’s so much I’d like to ask anyone reading: Do you have a PBTA game you love and/or play? Have you tried this one? Do you know another overlooked Star Wars game (such as Never Tell Me the Odds)? Do you love/hate PBTA? Have you used PBTA for long campaigns?
