Hey all. Thanks for the couple of people who chimed in for the Battlebabe. I’m starting to work on compiling, finally, these words of wisdom into something that should be easy to hand out at the start of a game. Next up I’d like to hear your advice about the Gunlugger.

What is something all Gunluggers should try to do in game? What are some good goals for the most violent person in Apocalypse World? What are some of your best stories of Gunluggers in your game?

Thanks everyone who chimed in with advice for people playing Skinners. I’d like to hear about what you would suggest for folks that want to play BATTLEBABE. What are some good goals for a Battlebabe? What should a Battlebabe try to do in game?

The little bit of research and personal playing I got to do as a BB led me to understand that they are great for causing and getting out of trouble. BB’s can take a drastic stand on something and their +3 cool will get their butts out of any trouble that comes their way. When I played a BB I was in charge of security and when a riot started I walked into the middle of it, said “This stops now or you have to go through me” and using my cool to Go Aggro, I put the whole gang on their heels.

I also ran a game where the BB was in control of the only water supply in the area. She had the only green lawn in the desert and the Hardholder needed her to let the holding have the water. The Hardholder was a bastard and the BB was not going to back down from him. The HH threw just about everything he had at the BB and by the end, most of the holding was destroyed and the BB was still there.

BB’s are great “heroes of the apocalypse”. You can take on just about any threat, as long as you are clever. You may not beat it, but you can survive it. Be willing to take an extreme stand on something. Good or bad. That’s where I believe you’ll find the most fun.

First off, thanks to everyone that helped out with ideas for the Chopper, Brainer, and Hocus. This week I’d like to discuss ideas on how a PLAYER can make the most out of the SKINNER playbook. What are some moves that you just love to use? What are some goals that Skinners should go for? What can a Skinner do in game that really gets the most out of the playbook?

Last one for this week.

What advice would you give a player who wants to play a HOCUS? How can the player get the most out of their cult/family/worshippers? How has a Hocus made your game awesome?

The second of three for this week.

What advice would you give a player who wants to play a CHOPPER? What’s super fun about it? What can they do to keep the game interesting? What have you seen done with Choppers that was really freaking awesome?

Hi all, I’m working on putting together advice for the players of Apocalypse World. I’m hoping to compile ideas that helps point players in the right direction on how to get the most out of their playbook of choice. At the behest of Meguey Baker I’m going to stick with the 1st ed playbooks that are transitioning to 2e for now. The final product will be a word doc that trims the fat and hopefully will end up being maybe a page per playbook with snippets of advice. I will credit everyone who contributes and just ask that folks pass this around in hopes to help make everyone’s game better. I’m going to put up 3 playbooks per week, till we get through them all.

So with that being said, lets get this party started. Using an advanced method of picking one at random, what advice would you give someone who wants to play a BRAINER? How does the player make them awesome? What can the player do to make thing interesting? What amazing things have you seen Brainers do in your game?
