Even though I don't know Swedish I am excited for this game to be more accessible. I hope it turns out great for you guys!

Hey just a smudge confused about how visions of death works. Just because the don't name PCs mentioned after the 7-9 section. I would say that it always only works in NPCs but I want to make sure that I am interpreting it right . God I love the concept of a Hocus or brainer with this move.

Hello all, I have started the process of my first Apocalypse World. Players have been gathered , I have sent them links to the free playbook download (seriously thank you for that being free) and we have started to ask some general questions about the world, but we will be taking it slow just so that there is still more to talk about game one.

What questions have you used to build your world ?

So far I have asked if they want a wasted future , where the apocalypse happened in our future , or if current tech is gonna be the highlight .

But I'm not an innovator and would love to see what ideas you have springboarded off of , what questions have brought out discussion and conversation at your tables .

Few things that may help you . First remember to always be a fan of your player characters . The gun Lugger has picked the playbook that literally comes with "big fuck off guns", his whole deal is how to kill stuff so make sure that you keep letting him do what his playbook is designed forever.

However that said , our jobs as MCs is to keep their life's interesting so here are a few ideas. Partial successes and failures are gonna be your be your best friends here. Remember your moves every single time they use their grenades. Specifically look it "take their stuff away , make them buy and activate their stuff downside .

If he gets a 10+ on his roll then by all means everything works exactly as he wants no problem . He makes a partially success or even better a failure and suddenly you can do some fun things . For example grenades are not infinite and are area messy. Suddenly he is caught in the blast , or he is acting under fire to get the hell out of the way .

Suddenly he looks into is pouch and remembers that is running low , or announce some offscreen badness in that a few minutes later he hears an identical explosion as someone has broken into his house and stolen his box of nades.

Always be a fan first but when it's your turn to make a move , make as hard of a move as you like.

I'm still rather confused by the move . Vincent called it the best trump card in the game .
To me with calling it the best trump card I would assume this move is supernatural in nature, and that if you roll a 10+ that this person is a goner , no water will satisfy and they are going to die in 3 days.

Im personally consider not running any of the extended playbooks in my first campaign except maybe faceless sense he seems to already the feeling of the game the least.

Has there ever been an official post about this being supernatural in nature ?

Hello fellow nerds , I'm new to apocalypse world but hoping to start a campaign in January so wanting to make sure that I have my mutated ducks in a row.

When it comes to reading a sitch , things like "who's in control here " and "enemy's true position " in particular . Do I not allow a player to roll until their character could actually be able to deduce those things or if they choose to roll it then they get to know things right off the bAt?

It's not always the most logical thing ,but since opening your brain to the maelstrom is a thing , getting a feeling that your enemy is in X place doesn't seem to far fetched .

Bonus question. When your players want to open their brain do you often allow them to ask questions of the maelstrom? How direct should I be willing to give info from it ? I don't want it to turn into the oracle but I want it to remain a strong valid move. Would love some input from more experienced players and MCs
