Hey Y’all!

I have finally organized myself for the inevitable and quick demise of G+ by setting up a website for my reviews/analyses/criticisms/random thoughts.

You can check it out at www.daily-apocalypse.com and click on the RPG tab in the upper right.

I’ve moved the bulk of my G+ RPG posts over there (sans comments, sadly).

I’ll be double-posting there and here until G+ officially dies.

Definitely Powered by the Apocalypse games are the most difficult to draw character sheets because it has a lot of text.

Hey folks, I have a question about the first barter move:

When you give 1-barter to someone, but with strings attached, it counts as manipulating them and hitting the roll with a 10+, no leverage or roll required.

Does “someone” include PCs as well as NPCs? The language would seem to suggest it, but I’d expect players to push back against having their characters forced to do what someone says or lose a stat highlight just for 1-barter.

Have I misinterpreted this? Or is it a non-issue in practice?

PS: Are there any plans for an official forum after G+ dies out? I’d presume not, since I believe the Bakers needed to shut down the forums they used to have.

Has anyone tried this? Is it madness?

I believe it’s pretty board-gamey, and I don’t know if there’s much room for actual role playing in it, but I wanted to experiment with a game that delays character creation so that you are basically a blank slate in the beginning.
