Eagerly awaiting this one!

This is a great looking ruleset. Layout is really clean too. Would love to see a VTT implementation down the road. Good work.

Haven't played Galatic, but have played BoB/NDNM games before: generally you gain tokens by making weak (here Vulnerable) moves and can spend them to make your Strong moves. This creates a pacing where you fall short now so you can heroically succeed later. Hope that helps.

Just had to say I'm incredibly impressed with this game. Dino Island is now in my PbtA, one-shot quiver alongside Zombie World & Bluebeard's Bride. The structures and tools you provide to tell a satisfying story are top notch. Looking forward to running this a couple times over the holiday season.

I particularly love the "tell a story" mechanic. Such a brilliant way to introduce backstory / character development into the natural flow of the game. Already thinking about how I can hack this into other games.

Also, I'm recommending this game to players in my group who want to try out GM/MCing (Dino Mastering) for the first time. I think the game does such a good job setting the MC up for success.
