This is the most interesting and innovative hack of Apocalypse World to date, IMO. If you’re an AW hacker, you really need to read and play this.

I agree. Super, super interesting diceless mechanics!
I’m going to have to read this pretty closely—I started writing a more traditional AW hack for vampires and I’m interested in seeing the direction this one takes.
Yeah, “vampires” is a pretty big space. One reason I love Undying is because it does such a good job focusing on the very specific kind of vampire thing it wants to do.
David Redcorn needs to see this
The poker-like conflict resolution seems brilliant, to me. I’m surprised I don’t see more of that. The only other game I can think of off the top of my head that does it is Dogs in the Vineyard. I’m probably missing some, though.

I think both due decent jobs, but I feel as a WoD VtM player, I am not feeling the conversions close enough though both do great jobs of horror genre conversions.
What is nice is the diceless mechanics of this conversion, which were really well thought out.
This is very rad. I love the “Fight” move.
Hey, John, have y’all posted AP from any of your games anywhere?
My only complain about the documents is I wish he put them on a few more sheets of paper, everything is really BUNCHED together.
Really interesting. Fighting other vampires is super risky.
I agree. Most interesting and innovative hack I’ve seen.
No AP posted. I need to remedy that!
(Mike Riverso , there are also Dust Devils and The Princes’ Kingdom, as far as I know)
Gunny John Harper we need that AP now!
