Hello Vincent,
I'm a bit confused with the object of Apocalypse World.
It seems abstract, and I can't imagine how to handle such an object. It's so contemplative and wide, that I don't see any link with your other examples.
I don't either see how the game mechanics throw me towards that object.
When I am a player in AW, I'm focused on "protecting what matters", "getting what I need" and "dealing with the consequences of my choices". As a GM, it's more something like "attacking what matters".
The rules help me playing this way. May be it's not the object, but the goal of the game ?
"What the PCs make of this world" looks more like playing with dolls and sanbox, than having a real purpose to me.
What am I missing ?
