Is there an easy way to tell versions of Apocalypse World material apart?
For instance, let's say I've got printouts of a bunch of character playbooks lying around in my cabinet drawer. I pull some out... are these "up-to-date", or old versions with a few minor changes? How can I tell?
So, like, what's the easiest-to-spot latest change?

Okay, here's an example:
I've seen versions of playbooks/character sheets that list specific Angel gear (e.g., chemstabs, heals 9:00). But the "official" playbooks on the front page don't list those things.
Are the specific-healing Angel gear something that was old, and has been removed, or something new, that has been added, and just hasn't been updated in the "official" playbooks yet?

The angel used to have a heal move, like the savvyhead used to have a fix-it move.
The gunlugger used to have a cache of arms where he could store them around town. A lot of differences.

The current downloads are current.

So, if I'm sitting at my desk and looking at a bunch of stuff that's already printed out, is there a "last change" to spot that would allow me to tell what's the latest version, and what is old and should be recycled?
I guess the question is: what is the most recent change to the playbooks?
-
You have the trifold playbooks? If not, they're outdated!
Do they include an MC sheet, a 1st session sheet, 2 sheets for moves (with different images), and 4 sheets for fronts (with different images)? If so, they're current!
In the character playbooks themselves: do all the playbooks have a section called "additional rules"? If so, they're current!

Ah, thank you!
Very helpful to know!
