Yeah, she's my BFFL, no matter what. If I'm up at 3 AM, she gets up. When I'm doing yardwork, she's watching my back. She also comes and tells on the other dogs!!

Hi Jay, so the guy that left in your second example? Was he triggered? Bored? Just curious if you ever figured it out.

I think about this, wondering how I might have won him over. I believe he came for the premise, but bounced off the game-as-conversation approach of Apocalypse World 1E. I prompted, cued, and checked in with him several times. He'd respond but 'turtle up' when it came to doing stuff. My best guess is he was more comfortable with traditional RPGs, the player-centric/facing options of AW was a bridge too far!
