Stepping back (barely) from the growing threats in our co-MC’ed Apocalypse World game, we look at character connections. A new PC joins (a second by one of the players), people open up finally, punches are thrown, and the Angel’s warlord brother shows up and makes it clear there are scarier things than Brainers.

In the second half of session 6 of our co-MCed Apocalypse World game, we focus on the Skinner turned Solace, Midnight Storm. He hunts down a lost (dead) PC, makes new friends (including a future PC), and discovers a fruit that makes those who eat it forget what they love most.

I decided to start working again on a hack I lost all my files for a little while ago, Land of the God-Kings, a game about playing a powerhouses in a high-fantasy setting.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas they’d like to share concerning playbooks, moves, and what else should be in the book besides rules? Thanks!

Another hack that will never exist…
Pick an historical figure and a playbook to match them, then go through these questions with the rest of the table:
– Who else knows something good about that historical figure?
– If everybody does, take Fame+2
– If some people do, take Fame+1
– If nobody does, take Fame=0
– Who else knows something bad about that historical figure?
– If everybody does, take Infamy+2
– If some people do, take Infamy+1
– If nobody does, take Infamy=0
– Your Anonymity is set so that the sum of your stat scores is +2
– If you have Fame+2 and Infamy+2, then take Anonymity-2
– If you have Fame+2 and Infamy+1 (or vice versa), then take Anonymity-1
– If you have Fame=0 and Infamy=0, than take Anonymity+2

The first half of session 6 of our co’MC’ed Apocalypse World game. Time to eat real food, stop fights, meet new characters (and a PC), and murder pirates. So many murdered pirates.

John Harper of Blades In The Dark fame created a PBtA hack called The Regiment.
John Harper of Blades In The Dark fame created a PBtA hack called The Regiment. I would love to get a copy of it but I cannot find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where I could get a copy of The Regiment?
I’m thinking about a hack for transhumanist sci-fi.
I’m thinking about a hack for transhumanist sci-fi.
It would take place in The Habitat which might be a space station, domed city or similar enclosed living space. The Habitat is controlled by The Overmind who can create things out of thin air and do other wondrous things, but is mostly unresponsive. I’m thinking of something like the Freemarket RPG, which, I think, doesn’t work, or some of the fiction for orionsarm.com like ‘Head of the Herd’.
Players would form the needs of and factions within the habitats by choosing playbooks. I’m thinking of…
The Faithful who revere the Overmind
The Adapted who live at the fringes or outside the Habitat
The Formless who make a point of not sticking to a body
The Originals who were already here and might not be human
…
Moves I have in mind…
When you broadcast for help, name the values you appeal to and…
When you create something original… (basically Workshop)
When you request something from the fog…
When you investigate a person…
When you get physical…
I’m not yet sure how to help the Overmind (MC) create interesting events. The needs of the habitat and inter faction rivalries will certainly play a role.
And I’m not yet sure about how the PCs would interact among one another. I think this might be the most important thing.
Thoughts?

A late post but here is session 5 part one of a co’MCed Apocalypse World game I ran/played many years ago. The crew of the Starlight finally arrive at the hidden space station. Now they face new troubles: vengeful drug dealers, pirates, and the increasingly unhinged local authorities.
