Title: Playbook Expansions
Post by: J. Walton on April 08, 2011, 02:49:54 PM
Hey Folks,

Just wanted to mention it here as well as at SG. I've made a few expansions to existing playbooks based on requests from folks and am willing to trade for them (or you can trade with the other folks that have them), especially if folks have other "limited edition" AW materials that I don't already have (you should make your own! it's fun!).

Each one contains 3-5 moves and maybe some gear or other stuff.

So far I have versions of:

The Wurm, a Hoarder who focuses on books and preserving human culture.
The Broodmother, a Brainer who thinks they have discovered what love is.

Upcoming ones include:

The Loner, a Gunlugger with a past that comes back to haunt them.
The Valkyrie, a Battlebabe who collects ghosts.
The Catalyst, a Battlebabe who's found a higher purpose.
The Fallen (or maybe the Earthling), a Quarantined from out of the sky.

If you're looking to get them from other people, I suggest checking out the "AW LE" thread on SG.

Can you tell us a bit more about those extensions?
Are they new playbooks inspired by the originals?
Do they have only a few new moves?
Are they the original playbooks, with twicks and twists?

Cheers.

The Broodmother is like an extension of the brainer.  A direction you could take the brainer as a sort of advanced option.  The first draft of it has a few related extra moves and a couple miscellaneous pieces of gear.

Yeah, Christopher basically has it right. Each one is a few extra moves and gear for an existing playbook, made to fit on a double-sided 4x6" notecard.
