    There's some great titles in this list. My personal standouts:

    Thirsty Sword Lesbians : Powered by the Apocalypse game for queer/emotionally-charged adventure. It's definitely a standout in use of safety tools, and is a pretty refreshing take on PbtA. I definitely want to play this, although I don't feel I could do it justice running it myself.

    Agon : Really interesting take on a Greek mythology game.

    A Fistful of Darkness : A Forged in the Dark "weird west" game. I like the playbooks, and it tries hard to support exploration of western themes, including a lot of support for indigenous characters. I think the lore sticks a little to close to Deadlands, but it is its own thing.

    A Dirty World : One-roll engine is a really cool system, and is a great fit for the noir genre, where a duel of words, wits and emotions can be just as pivitol as gunfights. I would love to run a game using the system where the players are lawyers, since it's probably one of the best options I've seen for a courtroom-battle game (aside from Dogs in the Vineyard).
