Dubious Pursuits
A downloadable game
Dubious Pursuits is a short, PbtA RPG for 4-6 players about Bounty Hunters in pursuit of their target, emulated stories like Cowboy Bebop. Your pursuit will be propelled not by violence, but by learning personal details about your bounty and what brought them to this point. What will you do when you finally catch up with them?

Dubious Pursuits from Nested Games is a really elegant 1-Move RPG about being a bounty hunter.
The reason it's elegant, is that the move receives a mechanical bonus to it's die roll as you learn more about your bounty, meaning that single move also has the mechanics for plot propulsion built into it.
It's a roll to answer a question move; your role gives you additional questions (again, elegantly) that you may ask.
There aren't many one-move games that I'd play - often they are more lyric than sit-around-the-table fare. This, however, is definitely one of them.
Dubious Pursuits, Five Stars!
