One of my players is a high-level Gunlugger. He has a gang and a battle vehicle. He also has Not To Be Fucked With, so he counts as a small gang during battle.
He uses his gang and his battle vehicle to Assault a Secure Position. The position they’re assaulting fires back with an rpg, which has the Area and Messy tag.
With all these elements in play:
If the gang is Small and the Gunlugger counts as a Small gang, does Not To Be Fucked With not take effect (thus making them a Small gang) or do they stack and they become a Medium gang?
When calculating harm, does the Gunlugger have to decide between using his car-mounted weapons (3-harm) or his gang as a weapon (2-harm)? Is it both?
After taking harm and doing the harm move, do the harm move’s effects happen to just the Gunlugger or his gang as well? Is that MC choice?
Hello all you fellow Apocalypse World fans. I have a question to pose: I am playing The Show in my current game and, while I have played one before in a one-shot, this will be the first campaign I use one in. I do love the Rig options but have opted out of a few to not step on toes (such as not having a gang or huge vehicle of awesome) while a few things don’t make much sense in our weird lego’d together world. I am wondering if anyone else has made Custom Rig options before?
Currently I have taken two customs that the MC likes but I am always looking for more input.
Rig Option 1: “When you play your music makes the debris of the dead moon dance in enigmatic patterns.”
Rig Option 2: “When you play your songs anyone attuned to the Psychic Maelstrom automatically knows the lyrics (and sings if you demand they do!).”
I am wondering if anyone else has custom Rig options or would even allow them? I still have time to tweak Empress Overkill and her band The Cuddlefish.

I’m trying to do a game a month since I’m rather interested in game design.
I’m trying to do a game a month since I’m rather interested in game design. I have been trying my had at a fantasy ptba and its…going. Then again, I can’t expect something very polished in the span of a month. None the less, I’m really interested in this engine.
Hello all! I have started a Patreon for a serialized roleplaying game called Uncanny Echo. It’s a stripped down, monthly pbta game. Each issue is a one shot that creates or incorporates a meta narrative around Uncanny Events and the echoes that follow.
Issue 0 is free and issue 1 is on my patreon now for 2$. 1$+ also gets you the podcast RSS feed that contains the actual play of our playtests, which are edited down into short episodes.
I don’t know if it was in this group or not, but I recall that recently someone posted a link of a PBTA game/hack…
I don’t know if it was in this group or not, but I recall that recently someone posted a link of a PBTA game/hack based on a 1980s theme in a manner similar to Spirit of 77. Has anybody seen this?
Hello, I’m so proud to finally get to a point to talk about this.
Hello, I’m so proud to finally get to a point to talk about this.
For about the last year I’ve been working on a PbtA game, specifically a Monster Hearts hack for the slightly stylized high school world of Teen Dramas like Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl and Riverdale. The project has finally hit it’s first stage of playtesting, and I’m very happy to now show it off.
So, here is Little Lies, a game of being catty and having secrets in High School:
Hi. I don’t have a ton of time to prep between games AND I’m not amazing at improvisation AND I’m not super into games that rely mostly on PVP. What PBTA or PBTA games would you recommend for this? The only one I can think of from my limited knowledge is Blades in the Dark, since it’s mostly the heist that players plan in the game so I’m doing improv but it’s very structured improve, then I just update some clocks.
