== PbtA and Quality Control ==
There isn't any, and that's usually the big worry while playing a PbtA game.

While PbtA is a flexible, useful system, it kind of has the same reputation [[Skub|in some circles]] as the Unity game engine does on [[/v/]]. The reason for this is while it's endlessly mutatable and generally very easy to adapt to whatever it is you want to do with your particular setting or conceit, it is also very, very, ''very'' easy to fart out a game in ten minutes and call it a day. As a result, a ''vast'' majority of PbtA games are either fine, mediocre, untested babby's first TTRPG, or just plain trash, with very few notable exceptions. If you're planning on playing a PbtA game, it's important to either cop out and just pick up the most popular ones (such as ''[[Apocalypse World]]'', ''[[Masks: A New Generation|Masks]]'', ''Monster of the Week'', etc. etc.), or if you dare to venture outside of it, make sure to read it front to back to make sure you're not accidentally dropping your players into a [[Magical Realm]].
