Apocalypse World / Re: Cult-less Hocus?

Holy shit, I must not have read the playbook for the Hocus very well.  It gives the choice to characterize them as "your scene".  That's the choice he made.

I'll have to look at his sheet tonight and roleplay up some situations to describe his 'scene'. We are missing a player tonight, so we are going to do most of the session in flashbacks to establish character backstory.

Thanks!

Apocalypse World / Cult-less Hocus?
« on: August 29, 2012, 12:32:12 PM »
We had our first session last week, and one of my players surprised me by playing a Hocus who does not have a cult.  According to the player, he is just a very charismatic person.  He doesn't preach anything. He views himself as a very influential person in the community.

I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons for NPCs to be following him around the apocalypse.  He did not establish in the first session why these people follow him or what he provides them.  I guess I didn't ask enough questions.

Common beliefs are a great glue for NPCs to be attached to characters.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can tie some NPCs to him?

To add fuel to the fire: our hardholder has a small population (50 souls) 40 of which are his gang.  Doing the math, that means that at least 10 souls are an NPC-PC-NPC triangle. Do I have to figure all of that out now?  How much of this should I let them establish?

Thanks!
