Hey all, with AW 2e being out for all intents and purposes, I have been getting hyped by watching a weird and wonderful play with a cool group. It has made me think of starting a game soon, with two distinct “settings” to lego onto with all the other players.
Mad Max Weird: All playbooks from 2e will be open. Make it work and we will build how the world died. Radioactive desert? Sure. Drag queen chopper gangs? Bring it. Post Apocalyptic Florida? Why not? Just make it fun.
Serenityverse: Apocalypse world…in space! The setting will be before Serenity the movie most likely and some playbooks will be restricted or open to vast rejiggering, it will follow the base scripture of Joss Whedon’s world except when it don’t exactly, gorram it.
I am thinking the game will be PBP on MW but I am also open to trying a Google Hangouts or Skype group once a week/twice a week or so. I will be up front and say it would be my first vocal game that way but I can give it a whirl I think.
(I am just excited about the phrase “to lego onto”. I hope your games play out great!)
Might I suggest uncharted worlds playbooks to speed up your serenity-verse idea.
A thing I’ve wandered since Meguey and Vincent killed the Operator is what playbook I’d cast Mal as in AW2e. There doesn’t seem to be an obvious one anymore.
But, this is a minor thing.
Mal is a hardholder. The hold moves, but he’s still holding the chain of command.
Damn, I’d love to play that Serenity variant. (Battlebabe ftw)
It seems to me that Vincent killed the Operator so that all the other playbooks could have gigs.
That seems about right, Ben Morgan .
Mal as hardhholder has never set right with me; where’s the hundred or so souls? Where’s the gang of 40? Where’s the armory?
It’s definitely smaller in scope, but it’s less about what he has in resources as what he has in terms of command, without crossing over into the flavor of the Chopper.
I bet i could envision the waterbearer to fit mal.
I haven’t even really looked at the new playbooks just yet. How does it read?
Take the hardhholder, and invert everything. Kinda.
Bodies don’t like to be inverted. They tend to claim it’s uncomfortable and then die.
So one guy as a perhaps! And Mal would be a Maestro D’ who offers solutions and Serenity is his service area.
So battlebabe, what type of game you looking for?
