Hi Vincent,

Sent you a message about my order. Please, answer me when you can.

Cheers,

I for one am not really interested in the new edition from what I've seen of the previews. The basic moves and stats were awesome because they simplified and streamlined so much. Making them more complicated is a step backwards IMO.

Exactly my thoughts.

Well, at least we will have a lot of new peripheral moves at our disposal to use in 1st edition. :)

I couldnt disagree more. Dungeon World and Apocalypse World are different beasts, and feeding rules from one into the other doesnt make sense.

IMHO, of course.

Aaaaand new version is up: :-D

Tuned down the overall weirdness by taking out both the augury artifact and the Places speak move; Pathfinder gives advanced read a sitch (for reading terrains/locations) with the advanced rules added to the frontpage. Also, replaced the advancement option "get a gang (detail) and leadership" by "pick another nomad gear", as this puts more emphasis on this being a loner and gear-dependent arquetype. I think this is a pretty tight version of the playbook, which I like.

*Exactly* what Rubberduck said. ;-)

About the proposed Pathfinder, I dont know, feels kinda fiddly to me. Ill give it some more thought. *EDIT* Ok, how about this..

Pathfinder: when you use read a sitch to scout a landscape, terrain or location, it counts as advanced.

As per AW book, the advanced version of read a sitch allows you to ask any question you want, not limited to the options listed, if you roll 12+. At first it may seem like a timid improvement, but its not, specially if you remember you can ANY QUESTION YOU WANT, from "how can I pass undetected through this" or "what does that synbarite guard craves?" or even "WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON TO STEP IN THIS SOIL AND WHERE DID HE GO ?". Yeah, shit can get powerful pretty fast, depending only on player creativity. So do we have a winner or not ? ;-D

Ebok:  having Somewhere out There would obfuscate the Tribal, I think, while dissolving the Runner essence. But you have a point about In the Zone. It feels like filler. Suggestions welcome. Perhaps taking it out and increasing the gear options (together with more gear as advancements) ? This would make the character definitely gear-based. (perhaps getting a animal sidekick back, like a dog or a monkey ?)

Oh, the idea is a reference to the Stalker fiction (book, film, videogame), where the protagonists are scavengers hunting for anomalous artifacts which possess weird supernatural effects. Augury was the weirder effect I could find for a AW version of the artifacts.

But yeah, I'm considering taking it out. It would make the Nomad Gear section tighter.

Thinking again, I ended up doing more or less as Ebok suggested: cutted out the Pathfinder move (now you get Scavenger and another of your choice), and giving the option to get any 3 nomad gear (instead of bolthole +2).

New version (and probrably last, as I will be focused on a real life project for the next month): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByF9qkt14FlUYUpkaGhWR1QwZ2s/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for the help, folks!

I think Ive found a mid-term regarding the "act under fire with +sharp" vs "sharp+1". Also, the new Places speak..

In the Zone: when you act under fire, roll +sharp instead of +cool, but only while out on dangerous terrain.

Places speak: When you're out there communing with a dangerous terrain, roll +weird. On 10+, both. On 7-9 choose 1. On a miss, the terrain tries to expurge you: take ?-harm.
• you catch a glimpse of this place during the Golden Age: who lived here and what emotion they evoke ?
• you catch a glimpse of this place in the recent past: who lives here now and what emotion they evoke ?

Aaaaan new version is up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByF9qkt14FlUXzFCMGxqc2ZGQ00/view?usp=sharing

Feedback appreciated. ;)

*edit*: oh and I took the maps out of the bolthole and inserted medical supplies in its place. In the end I let the strange artifact in the bolthole as a portable augury device seems overpowered.
