Title: Blind Blue and Hatchet City
Post by: schroyerd on March 01, 2012, 03:27:32 PM: I have just started reading through the backlog in the forums I apologize in advance if this has been asked before:
I noticed in my Apocalypse world PDF (page 274) has a reference to a scenario called the Blind Blue and Hatchet city. It looks to be an interesting beginning for a group new to AW. I am wondering is this full scenario available somewhere?

Thanks!

The AW first session rules are better for having a first AW session -- that's kind of the point.

Of course, if you need to fish for ideas, sure. But you have some postapocalyptic fiction that you like, right? Use that.

I like it because it introduced love letters, but playtesting hasn't shown it to be reliably fun to play.

I've played it twice and had a blast both times, once as a Skinner and once as a Battlebabe. I think it's great.

What problems have you seen?

It was fun.
