Apocalypse World / Re: An Antisocial bunch

Thank you very much. While I was asking plenty of provocative questions, most of them focussed around places and things rather than people and relationships. I was able to extract some very nice Threats from the questions, but not many NPC's.

The key thing I was missing was the aspect of scarcity. I forgot about the need for NPC's to supply the PC's with stock, guns and gears. That does seem like a rich vein to work from.

Suppose other problem is that I don't really understand the Driver as an archetype, which is why it's so hard for me to wrap my head around motivations that would fit.

Apocalypse World / An Antisocial bunch
« on: July 28, 2012, 10:55:59 PM »
I am MC'ing my first game of Apocalypse World and I'm still finding my feet. The biggest probelm I am having right now is that I have a party of loners.

Let me explain. The group consists of four story gamers, interested in seeking out relationships and collaborating. The problem is that few of the characters have good motivation to associate with NPC's in any meaningful way. The four characters (Angel, Driver, Gunlugger and Saveyhead) have terrible Hot scores and no gangs or groups of characters linked to them.

I managed to bring in a patient to establish one relationship with the Angel, but I am having a heck of a time finding the types of NPC's that would get close to a loner gun-nut, a loner mechanic and a loner driver.

Any advice? Am I going about this all wrong?
