Continuing the tales of the Great City of Varya!

Coming to Hangouts this Tuesday May 23 at 5:00PM, GMT+1.

The Great City of Varya has stood for countless years, commanding respect across the lands by virtue of trade and faith, but now a new queen has risen and struck down the old gods. Unrest grows among this graveyard of fallen divinity and amid it all, there are stories to be told…

It’s an Apocalypse World one-shot in a dark fantasy setting. Three or four players. Bad situations and questionable decisions. How about it?

I feel like running some dark fantasy.

I feel like running some dark fantasy. Would anyone like to play today? 4pm UK today on Hangouts, expecting to go for about four hours total. Check your time, we’re on Daylight Savings.

The game would be Fallen Empires (http://apocalypse-world.com/AW2ndEdFallenEmpiresPreview.pdf) set in one of the Great Cities by Graham Spearing​​

(https://plus.google.com/+GrahamSpearing/posts/SmiejoY73iG). We make the city together, find some interesting things to start burning, pull out the playbooks and get stuck in.

Three or four players. Customised setting. Bad situations and questionable decisions. How about it?

How about changing the faction of a playbook?

How about changing the faction of a playbook? A Wizard that draws their power from outsiders and falls more under Wild than Power, a Veteran who was previously deep in a Vampire’s web and is more Night than anything else.

I have an embarrassingly small amount of actual play experience with the game, so can this work without breaking something?

Browsing Rock, Paper, Shotgun for my gaming news, and I came across a review of Rain World. As is my custom of taking a whisper of detail and spinning it into a horrendous sequence of, “so that means…” how about an apocalypse where when it rains, people die?

In Rain World, you have to hibernate between the rains. You have to gather food as you make your way across the landscape, and when you get the warning signs, you have to get inside a box to protect yourself before the deluge takes you.

As an AW setting, why can’t people live on boats or barges or floating platforms? What effect would intermittent superstorms (mostly just rain, little wind) have on a landscape, your ability to produce food, travel and settlement?
