Soooo Meguey Baker and Vincent Baker,
I’m MCing tomorrow night after the gang watches Fury road (in costume!)
I want to use the 2nd Ed Playbooks and give them a whirl, but am unsure of how to integrate the new basic moves (since we don’t have them yet). I assume seizing by force will do to cover both the attack someone and do battle moves?
Everything else seems just like old times! The new Hx mechanic during chargen is much better 🙂
I would use Go Aggro for Attack Someone until we have something better. Or look at AW:DA.
Yeah that’s what I’m planning Tim 🙂
I’m very curious to see the extended battle moves. Not sure for better or just ‘different’.
Give us a bit, we’ve got plans for this exact contingency 😉
snoopy dance
/me dance too!
Woo!

Thank you so much.
Squeeeeeee!
That will be able epic AW session Nathan Roberts have fun!
Woooow
I’ll post some photos of our outfits 🙂
Thanks Meg!
Ooooh! The structure of the battle move sequence is SO helpful! It reminds me of that thread from years ago when Vx asked to give a situation and it involved gangs and a handhold and various battle moves. So Good! I love it.
I’m gonna hack together some ‘scripting’ cards for the blind selection.
I hope if the 2nd Ed. gets kickstarted some sort of cards (like in Torchbearer) or dry erase would be awesome 🙂
That sounds like a great idea Nathan!
It was awesome!!! Brainer, Quarantine and Driver. Epic times.
Rad. How’d the new moves feel? Did you get to run a Road War?!
Yeah! The battle moves work great. I REALLY like the structure ‘flow chart’ algorithm of the moves.
We had a ‘minor’ road war. Choosing the terrain was so cool, and we stopped to share our ‘camera angles’ on the action at the precipice shadowed by a huge overhang. (we were inspired by the HUGE open cut mines we have in Australia).
I grabbed a few matchbox cars out of the kids toy box for making maps like crazy (Just like George Miller).
Of course Subaru (the Driver) acted under fire deal with the terrain dangers. He garnered a few tactical advantages due to his wild shenanigans too! The hold choices on the Driver’s move are AWESOME. As is V-harm. OOOH yes V-Harm!
There was one boarding action as Sin (the Brainer) tried to leap from the careening troop carrier (sourced from the Quarantine’s military base) to Subaru’s armoured Ute. She missed of course and ended up dangling from the tailgate, left for dead.
So amazing. I love these new ‘rules’, they allow you to zoom in and get that ultra cinematic, beat by action beat feel to the narrative.
Or not, and just zoom out and roll with the big picture.
