Just had an awesome moment where my wife’s cousin (who is blissfully ignorant of what an RPG is, let alone having specific knowledge of AW) gave an enthusiastic account of how much her family loves “the Apocalypse Corn that we taught her to make.”
I hadn’t even realized that we refer to it by that name and to hear it so far out of context resulted in a solid spit-take.
So what’s the recipe ?
It’s at the back of the book: Make popcorn. Melt butter. To the melting butter, add sriracha hot sauce, a good squirt or two. Don’t skimp, this is Apocalypse World.
Oh right. That.
We made what we called murder corn because we were playing through a campaign of a green apocalypse where the (I assume) genetically modified corn took over everything and the scariest people in town were the gardeners that held it back.
Anyway.
Murder corn is the same thing as Apocalypse Corn but none of us had read the back of the book yet. Bam, convergent evolution.
Just watched Mad Max with apoc corn. Pure Bliss, oh and the dog got some too!
Finally, the dog gets fed.
