Updating the Macaluso to AW2e
I freaking love this playbook, and I love 2e. Tragically, as it is now, I am forced to choose between the two
until now!
The Macaluso is actually a great candidate for update (though I understand why Vincent didn’t, it’s kinda niche, and apparently it was done for a special thing). All of the moves mesh perfectly with 2e, and the NPC rules have not (as far as I know) changed. so the thing that needs changing is Hx
So I wrote him/her/it a new Hx, in the hopes that he will be playable for fans of both editions, so here goes.
Everyone introduces their characters by name,
look and outlook. Take your turn.
List the other characters’ names.
Go around again for Hx. On your turn, ask 1 or both.
• Which one of you have opened your brain to me
For that character, write Hx+3
• Which one of you has resisted/rejected the maelstrom
For that character, write Hx-1.
For everyone else, write Hx+1. You have the
benefit of multiple points of view.
does this seem fair? even good? are there other questions they should ask?
I think rejected the maelstrom is enough, it’s open and let’s the player say if they resisted it some how, or just don’t like it.
It seems fair to me. Good job.
