brainstorming & development / World of the Apes
« on: July 19, 2014, 01:10:53 AM »
Starting to work on a hack based on the Planet of the Apes, focusing on the Apes and in the early context of the current reboot series. Not necessarily set in the cinematic world, but at a point that the apes are a mostly tribal community, with at most limited contact with humans. Given that AW already has mechanics for psychic/supernatural effects, I'd like to play up the spiritual aspects of a tribal society.

With that in mind, some thoughts on playbooks. Being tribal, I'm thinking the playbooks would fall mostly along roles within the tribe. some examples:

Caesar/Chief
Hunter
Teacher
Healer
Warrior
Scout

I'm thinking Ape breed would be mostly window dressing, but possibly adding bonuses to a single attribute or something similar.

brainstorming & development / About that Dying Earth hack...

Found this topic originally mentioned here: http://apocalypse-world.com/forums/index.php?topic=597.msg5359#msg5359, but I figured I'd start a topic to start brainstorming here.

Attributes can stay mostly the same as Dying Earth, and Suasion techniques could be specialized moves, similar to Special Moves. Of course, could go an entirely different route. Thoughts?
