I stumbled upon this series of videos on YouTube called How we Role of games being run by their own designers.

I hadn't seen anything like this before . Most online games are of random groups which vary wildly in playstyle. So these videos in theory provides quite invaluable information on how a game is meant to be run. I'm about to run Apocalypse World for the first time myself so found it really useful to see the designer play.

Linked is one to a game of apocalypse world run by Vincent Baker himself. What I did find curious was how many times he broke his own rules in game, which for a arguably highly structured game like Apocalypse World has made me reconsider how I'll run it myself.
He -

>Names moves directly which the rules say not to do.
>Outright tells players what moves to make
>Players use abilities meant only for NPC's on eachother
>Most of this game is just PvP, there's little NPC interaction at all which goes against the NPC>pc triangles described in the rules.


There's also further videos for Burning Wheel, Dogs in the Vineyard and others so the channels worth a look.
