Hey all. Haven’t seen anything posted here on the Kult: Divinity Lost kickstarter yet. This reboot of the ’90s Swedish horror RPG is apparently a heavily modified AW hack.

I’ve always loved Kult since the first edition, mainly for its amazing setting and hellraiser-esque aesthetic. But the rules always felt a little clunky, and so hearing that it is being brought back as PbtA game (or at least heavily inspired by) is really exciting to me.

I’d recommend checking it out if you like dark occult horror.

Which PBTA game would you use to run Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD? Like low-powered supers, investigative, action, ongoing with elements of monster of the week, twists and turns, character drama and angst.

AW: Fury Road!

Ok, lets do this!  Which characters are which playbooks, and why?  Spoilers to be expected!

Furiosa: This is a tough one, but I’m going with the Touchstone – she’s got a vision of how things could be better and she’s working tirelessly towards it, bringing the others along with her.

Max:  I’m going Gunlugger. He’s tough, he’s the baddest ass.  He’s concerned with one thing only: survival.  He’s “mad” because he’s opened his mind to the psychic maelstrom a few too many times, and now he can’t close it… hence the visions of those who’ve died.

Nux:  The Driver – fairly obvious. He’s an expert driver, that’s what he does.

Immortan Joe – At first I thought Hardholder… but actually I think he’s a Hocus with an incredibly large cult.  Look at the whole belief structure he’s embedded in the War Boys, and the way he presents himself as the people’s saviour.  Total Hocus.

Capable:  Skinner – I feel like when she has time and intimacy with Nux, she’s using Hypnotize to bring him on board with helping them escape

What do you folks think?  😀

Has anyone done a Vampire: the Masquerade PbtA hack? Most interested in something which stays as close as possible to V:tM in terms of setting and feel. Cheers

Does anyone have any advice on how to approach playbook design?  I have a couple of ideas I have started working on and I’m wondering what approaches others have taken to design.

The stuff in “Advanced Fuckery” is obviously good, but it’s more at the nuts & bolts level than I’m looking for.  Anyone have any good overall advice?  “Think about these key things before starting…”  “I always get a good visual image first…”  ” Define the core of who the playbook is first…”

That sort of thing maybe 🙂

Special Moves:  Sometimes the characters have sex with an NPC, but their special move only seems to give any effect if the other participant is a PC…

Does anyone (other than me) sometimes wish the special moves kicked in when a PC has sex with an NPC also?  Has anyone made any modifications to the special moves to facilitate this?  What would be the effect?

(This is one of the first Google Communities I’ve joined!  Do we introduce ourselves on these things? Well I’ll do so just in case 🙂  )

I’m Drew, I live in the UK, and Apocalypse World might just be my favourite RPG ever.  I’m currently running a game set in an icy archipelago during a nuclear winter.  Its going pretty well so far.  Set up info for anyone interested can be found here:  https://plus.google.com/u/0/110549639616008158383/posts/VJj1npJiid2
