This is good feedback, better to hear it this way rather than figure out the hard way that it isn't fun and ruin the game for my 5 friends :D. I'll try to think up some other difficulties he has for the helicopter... perhaps the fact that no one on the blasted earth probably knows how to fly the damn thing will do.

Hi all. I'm about to take my first crack at GMing anything other than a pre-canned D&D campaign tonight (and even that was 10 years ago). Obviously I'm choosing to do Apocalypse World, and I had a quick rules question.

I can see lots of reasons (especially given what the guys I'll be playing with will likely dream up) why some horrible post-apocalyptic monsters might come up as a threat, at least a side one that gets in the way as they try to accomplish other things. However, the rulebook never really goes into how you should treat monsters as a threat. Has anyone come up with a good rule of thumb for how to bring monsters/creatures into play?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
