I’ve played in a handful of long running AW games, and I’ve found that they tend to work best when the setting’s community is pretty tightly knit. Something similar to Deadwood: where neighbouring holds are sometimes mentioned, but rarely visited on screen.

Has anyone played in an AW game that’s more spanning? I’m toying around with a SciFi hack where the Galaxy is at stake, and I’d like some opinions about how you can take something as spanning and huge as a galaxy and condense it into something that can fit comfortably in the player’s mental space without making it seem small?

The book isn’t really helpfull here. What i gatherered is that you have to do something active to do that. Just starring at them like they are nothing is not enough (is it?).

I am also not clear if you clearly have to hurt them emotionaly/socially or not. 

I am reposting here, cause this could also be of interest.

Is there a reason why a menace doesn’t have a countdown clock or a grim portents? Could those be added without breaking something?

I was thinking about a different Sex Move for this Playbook, inspired by the Maestro’D

When someone helps you tend and care for your monster it counts as having sex with you.

Would this work (better then the old move)?

So I’m thinking of trying to institute a weekly hangout game, probably trying out some of the new hacks of AW like ‘The Hood’ or Undying (The pdf’s have been posted earlier in this community).  I could run or not.  Let me know if your interested.  I can run or not run depending on what people think.  Let me know if your interested in joining.

I’ve been enchanted by the idea that rules are there to help a group play in a way it wouldn’t otherwise, but it’s dawning on me that doing this solely with strict mechanics is not a good idea.  (I suspect I’m late to this party.)  Positioning text and especially example play go a long way to communicating what the designer has in mind.
