The Urban Shadows Kickstarter is now live and runs through June 29, 2014:

Worlds in Peril is THE Superhero RPG for the Apocalypse World system! Comic book stories and characters like you've always wanted them!

Worlds in Peril combines descriptive, creative and flexible powers with a narrative structure that encourages players to take control of their stories and build worlds together.  See the Kickstarter page for a description of how this game differs from AW, including:

• Use of a Powers Profile to describe what your character can do with your powers at varying levels of difficulty (simple to do, difficult, borderline, theoretically possible)
• Use Descriptive Conditions that have tracks instead of hit points.
• Character creation using mini-playbooks - an Origin playbook to define the core of the character and a Drive playbook to define the character's current motivation.
• Advancement tied to what you do in game via Achievements, which are earned by fulfilling prerequisites of new moves and playbooks through roleplaying and story in the game .

Was what I wrote comprehensible, even if you found it unnecessary?  I'm truly not interested in simply applying the Multiclass move, though I appreciate that others prefer that.

I agree that what you wrote is comprehensible and I also agree it is totally unnecessary (see below).

In addition, why the restriction on Alignment?  You can pretty much change your Alignment and or/Alignment Move at any time per the core rules as long is there is justification in the fiction.

Maybe easier just to say "if you justify it to me in the game fiction, you can always pick a multiclass move on levelup".

There's no question that what you suggest would be easier, but presently I'm interested in making it feasible for one player to eventually take on the entire role of two classes, if they wish to.  The point of this system is to figure out a way of doing this which isn't too immediately overpowering, nor completely unappealing.

I'd ultimately like the players to be able to expand their move options beyond what is offered by a single class progression, regardless of whether they can take Multiclass moves.  I also see the gaining of a new class as a great roleplay opportunity.

I'll echo the sentiments of others by saying that allowing the Multiclass move at any level with in game justification achieves your stated intent in an easier fashion and with much more flexibility than you are allowing.

On top of just allowing the Multiclass move at any level, add a single rules tweak:

Multiclass Mastery
When you have obtained all the Starting Moves of another class, you have mastered that class; at this time, between your starting and mastered classes you may choose the best from each of hit points, damage, and load.  You may also choose a Racial Move/Background that is appropriate to either class.

I recently posted a Playbook template in MS Word format.  A bunch of people were disappointed it did not convert over into Open Office properly; therefore, I have created a separate ODT template.  I am not nearly as proficient in Open Office as I am in Word, so let me know if there are any issues.

It looks like IPR is out of stock on the print version.  Does anyone know when it will be available again?

Thanks!

The math on the Holdings described on pages 259-261 of the book don't add up. 

Uncle's holding starts with a Surplus: 1-barter from the default gigs.  He adds:
-Large which gives Surplus: +1barter 
-Lucrative Raiding which gives Surplus: +1barter
-Bustling Public Market which gives Surplus: +1barter

The example indicates he ends up with a total of Surplus: 3-barter, shouldn't it be 4-barter

Marie's holding starts with a Surplus: 1-barter from the default gigs.  She adds:
-Decadent and Perverse which gives Surplus: -1barter 

The example indicates she ends up with a total of Surplus: 1-barter, shouldn't it be 0-barter
