PbtA games really need playbooks for their DMs (here the Mother) to function properly. The blurb provided is a cool start, but I think it needs the aforementioned GM playbook, Cryomancy skill tree, and racialized glitter differences (though given the player pool is herein limited to elves, the differences should probably be star-sign-based) to really function.
Still, you released this for free, so that’s cool.
Yeah, I tend not to like to use "racialized" mechanics in my games (I started my career in the industry writing "ancestry & culture, an alternative to race in 5e," after all). The star sign is a good alternative suggestion, though!
But yes, it definitely needs a GM playbook, or maybe some GM moves. Normally I put in player and GM principles too, and more fully developed basic moves, etc. But this was kind of a lark, so I mostly just focused on patching together the mechanics mentioned in the article with a heavy dose of liv references. Thanks for the feedback!
