PbtA wasn't "the most important evolution of RPGs" or whatever. It was a forking path that introduced a new genre on the grounds of (at that time) niche style of playing RPGs.

I know about at least one PbtA which includes not just Moves (some too limiting while some too powerful) but also interbalanced Skills (try the TTRPG "Root", and no, that wasn't a typo, there is really an another Root game than the Root boardgame). I also like the system "Built with Backbone" (BwB), I'm recommending the TTRPG "Backroads". This could be an another Milestone of TTRPGs evolution,maybe it can become something more. I'm about to make an enhanced rulebook based on it - and trust me, that I have huge know-how, plenty of interesting ideas, resources and helpers. It will be called Backstories (hihi) and it will include lore from all European horrors. From bruxas up to vampires, from cool Celtic scarry stories up to the most modern subgenre of new weird. If you're interested in it, including as a helper (please help me), feel free to contact me.

I'm an owner and leader of a generally developmental international holding with the main company of a smart school: https://DMDU.kvalitne.cz - a great company for proper development (Google translator and translatable chat UI are included). We're using TTRPGs also as tools for self-development and in psychotherapies.

You had me at Sardinian masks, saving this for later, someone had to write a Mamutones RPG thing!

They're beautiful, hypnotic and terrifying. There is something deep, primal, and at the same time deeply human about the whole carnival.

Are guys Sardinian? I come from the island right above.

No, but it has a special place in the heart of the author of the Toybox for various reasons.

(Corsica is another incredible place!)

If you take a look at Epigoni Essentia (on itch.io in pwyw) you will find an entire Vision (let's call them micro-setting) that talks about a war between italian folklore and the new generations of "Myth entities" born After WW2 https://oddplan.itch.io/epigoni-essential
