I turned this in as a final for art-history-of-games-ish class this semester, so I thought I'd put it up here for shits and giggles as well....

This is a somewhat-exhaustive taxonomy of PbtA games, tracking ten different systemic mechanical elements in each, and a loose kind of succession between them.

Well, three years later is not “exhaustive” anymore but still a nice overview.

    I saw this on Mastodon and thought it was very cool (and informative)! Unfortunately I’m chronically on mobile so I can’t read the key 😅
