Welcome back to You Don't Meet In An Inn; enjoy your stay!

What do you do when you think you're having a bad drug trip except the people around you who didn't take any drugs are experiencing the effects as well? This week our teen monsters try to understand what is happening to them, and to escape the Fae Realm.

We here at You Don't Meet In An Inn apologize for the delay in this week's episode.

This week the school day continues with its typical teen dramas: lust, cruelty, and cannibalism!

During yesterday's recording session one of my players was doodling to get in the high school spirit for Monsterhearts. These were the results: http://imgur.com/a/iXFTy. Note that there is some spoilery stuff within if you do listen to You Don't Meet In An Inn.

Apocalypse World / Re: Apocalypse World 2nd Edition
« on: July 09, 2015, 09:21:03 PM »
I have two questions about the new edition (which I am excited for).
  • Will there be a hardcover version of the new rules?
  • How compatible will first edition fan and limited edition play books be with the new edition?

Apocalypse World / Re: Community centric campaign with rotating cast?
« on: June 08, 2015, 10:05:32 AM »
I'd definitely add more playbooks than just what is in the core. I'd include most of the limited release playbooks (not macaluso, Marmet, or Dolphin) plus this site has some pretty spiffy playbooks. For the number of players I think I can safely expect a core group of 5 players who will swap in and out of groups with supporting players likely numbering around the same amount.

The destruction of the community is definitely an occurrence I hadn't considered but certainly doesn't sound impossible. I imagine if that happens my juggling of characters/setting is going to get even more tricky.

Another issue I just thought of is who to include in the first story arc. I suppose the decision should be based on the playbooks (if someone is hardholder they should probably be there at the start) and the setting.

Apocalypse World / Community centric campaign with rotating cast?
« on: May 26, 2015, 10:29:01 AM »
I was thinking about an idea I had of having a campaign centred around a community, but having the cast of PCs change every so often. The community centric focus is to tie various PCs together while at the same time allowing them to have their own stories. You'd have a short story line that lasts a handful of sessions, the switch out a couple PCs for different players and characters, then pursue a different storyline in the same community. I was thinking Apocalypse World for this since it is fairly community centric and handles PvP conflict well. It could give players who can't commit to a normal campaign but want more continuity than a one shot exactly what they need. It could also give noob GMs a chance to try out the role in a setting everyone is familiar with, AND possibly let Forever GMs take a break.

Has anyone ever tried something like this? Or had a large enough player base for it? Or just any thoughts on how this might work?

Apocalypse World / Multiples of the same playbook?
« on: May 25, 2015, 10:04:44 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried having a campaign where there were multiples of the same playbook? Breaking that rule that says you are the only Angel. A party of nothing bu Gunluggers! Obviously this might not work with some playbooks (looking at you Hardholder) but I'd be curious what people think would happen in such a campaign.

Apocalypse World / Re: Custom Move: Ambush!
« on: May 22, 2015, 08:11:11 AM »
Thanks for the feedback. I probably wasn't considering narrative direction and impact as much as I should have been. I think I will take your suggestion for the modification to Read A Sitch with the hold for allies... If I keep the Ambush mechanics at all.

For my hack I reorganized the moves a bit and reworked the stats. It's close to still being the original stats (minus weird) but renamed Fellowship (Hot), Aggression (Hard), Ingenuity (Sharp), and Resolve (Cool).

Apocalypse World / Custom Move: Ambush!
« on: May 21, 2015, 10:45:04 PM »
I'm working on a AW hack for space operas (inspired by The Expanse and Firefly primarily) and I've expanded the moves list because I wanted to add in some granularity. One of the added moves is Ambush! which functions as follows.

Quote
Ambush!: When you know a foe is coming , roll+Ingenuity. On a 10+, you and your allies get +1 forward. On a 7-9, the GM offers you a hard bargain or an ugly choice. On a miss you and your allies get -1 forward as your foes are tipped off.

The idea of this move is for setting up an ambush because I know one sided violence is Go Aggro. Read A Sitch also doesn't really fit as that is more an assessment of danger.

What I'm struggling with is the soft hit result. Should I leave it vague with its current wording, add in that the PC making the roll still gets +1 forward, or add in that the PC AND allies still get +1 forward? I'm not sure what sounds best or what is most interesting.
