Apocalypse World / Re: Gigs and how they work
« on: September 16, 2013, 09:25:45 PM »
Hey, saw this thread and thought I would just add my question about gigs here.  My friends and I are starting a game of AW soon and I am looking at being a Operator.  Now as per the text, some of my crew can be other PC's, and at the moment I know two other players that are going to be part of my crew.  My question is how do you deal with the barter gained from gigs if the other PC's are involved?

I can see if the crew was all NPC's you could just kind of hand wave their payment or whatever, but for missions where the other PCs are put in danger, I don't think they would be doing it for free.  But then if you are doing a gig for 1-barter, and have to pay the Gunlugger for his help in bodyguarding, whats the point of doing the gig in the first place.  Is this barter supposed to mean the Operator's profit from the gigs?  For example, would the whole job be a 4-barter job, but 2 goes for supplies, 1 for the Operator and 1 for the Gunlugger's help?  But then it seems like its not even that great of a playbook feature if the other people helping you are gaining just as much profit from your hard work in setting up the gigs.  Or are you supposed to roleplay it out, maybe calling in favors, or owing favors back to the player?

How do you guys deal with this?
