For certain, Apocalypse World isn't all about individuals and conflict, it is also about groups and cooperation. Whether this is because it transcends the model, or because it's a relatively nuanced expression of the model, depends on your view of the model, I suppose. Is the patriarchal narrative mandated by the model, or just, yes, a default example of it?
Heck, maybe suggestive rephrasing counts as a different model. I don't know.
But so, whatever! Yes! Bring on other models.
J. Walton: I agree.
