Express Your Love Passionately

The Hard Move

Show Notes

Brandon Leon-Gambetta and I get steamy and talk about Express Your Love Passionately from his forthcoming game Pasión de las Pasiones. Mechanically we talk about modifying rolls by answering move and playbook questions as well as the outcome of such emotional expression. Narratively this move is chalk full of opportunities to fall in love, make an enemy, or anything in between. Finally, we discuss how the GM acts as a cheerleader and enabler more than an arbiter or decision maker.

Kyle Thompson and I prepare for the worst as we discuss object-oriented design, separation of intent, and a really cool move that I didn't love going in. In the Patreon episode, Kyle and I also go off topic to discuss a wild amount of other moves that call on Pay the Price, and a bit of theory-crafting on how we'd like to see this design go forward.
