My long time love interest Remnant: Reign of the Dragon is back in my life again. This time she’s dressing up as An Apocalypse World hack and I swear it looks AMAZING on her. The setting is getting some tweaks to make it a little less stable, and the safe parts of it a little more permeable, just setting it up for a bit more tip.
At the moment I’m working on the shape of the playbook translations and most of them are doing ok, though I haven’t got to anything mechanical just yet. It’s all fluff and flavor. The Hard Holder, Gunlugger, Hocus and Brainer all jumped unscathed, and those aforementioned alterations to the setting have made it more welcoming to the hack’s rendition of a Driver and Chopper. The Battlebabe has taken some learning to figure out, but I think it’ll be fine in the space I’ve started carving for it. I’ve got a few things to consider with the announcement of the new version, such as the removal of the Operator and the inclusion of the Maestro’d and Quarantine. The Maestro’d might actually be a lucky break if I can use it for a setting expression character that didn’t really have a home anywhere else.
Once I have a few more bits lined up I’ll start on some sketches of it and poke at some mechanics. Viva la’Pocalypse!
