I’ve been idly mulling over the concept of an AW hack for classic Gibson cyberpunk. The Roles from CP2020 would be a good start, and some of them are pretty close already – Gunlugger -> Solo, Angel -> Medtech, even Brainer -> Netrunner. Reskin the Psychic Maelstrom as The Net.

I think I’d like to include “Edge” points, maybe similar to Lore in tremulus, to let characters do cool stuff somehow – either allowing a custom Move when you spend them, or allowing you to shift the results of any Move.

I think the AW engine would be much better suited to stories like those we see in the books than the CP2020 RPG is. With disparate PC groups, a Rocker or Techie in a party of Solos is more likely to be able to contribute meaningfully rather than either cowering up the back or being moulded into a de-facto Solo.

Thoughts? Has it been done? 🙂

The Angel in my game allways failes his Healing-Hands Move. It sucks to be him. It sucks even more to be the patient.

So, what’s the vision for the purpose of this community? Should we be more talking about playing AW/Apocalypse Engine games, or about hacks/new designs? 50/50? 75/25? Something else?

Why in Apocalypse World I always begin the game with a mess that it’s totally NOT my fault?

A buddy of mine recently sent me this video and it kind of blew my mind. It’s not really my kind of music, but it’s prefect Apocalypse Fuel. Any of  you guys have a bank of cool pictures, links or videos that inspire to barf forth some apocalyptica?
