Apocalypse World / Brain Relay
« on: January 19, 2017, 11:51:16 AM »
I'm playing a Brainer and have taken brain relay as one of my pieces of my brainer gear. For ease, it reads:
brain relay (area close hi-tech)
For purposes of brainer moves, if someone can see your brain relay, they can see you.
I want to make sure I use this properly and don't stretch any rules. In Session 0 we decided we were playing in an apocalyptic flooded London, and I randomly suggested partway through the session that my brain relay be Big Ben. Now, does this mean that people have to be looking directly at it, or that they can just see it in their field of vision? Also, does the close tag mean that even if they could see it from far away, its effect still wouldn't work unless they were nearby?
I'd like as many opinions as possible on this because it does seem to an extent to be something interpretive.
