Ok bike... sexy.  Got it.  Will remember that.  But yeah I was thinking the equivalent of the driver making out in the back seat..  Visual joke + forum posting, not good.

I'm just starting a game where my driver has an Osprey aircraft... would think a motorcycle would be ok.

Just wonder how you try to seduce someone while riding the bike?

Sounds like a great first session, you got some hard for taking on the challenge on short notice.

Everything sounds pretty cool and right-on. I haven't heard of court or suing on the Apocalypse before, but why the hell not?  That's how this hardholder does things and it seems a little bit awesomely feudal.

There's a lot of great advice on the forums about fronts and threats but I can repeat a couple kernels worth repeating.

Make triangles.  You're already doing a good job of that. Make both players invested in NPC's for different reasons. They don't both hat a guy, each had a different opinion, and vice-versa. The npc's view the characters as individuals, not as a party.

Use the environment. The poison fish are a good start, but the world is fucking over, theres some dangerous shit out there, make them deal with it. Or even better make them deal with how it affects the npc's.

Weird. Bring the weird, let the players (Obviously especially the Savvyhead) help you establish the nature of the psychic maelstrom and how to deal with it.


Good game, looking forward to hearing more!

Hi Christopher,
As I mentioned, the single biggest help would be character name on each post. Session number might be helpful, but now that I've got to reading in chronological order, the scenes are flowing well.  What would screw me up (As a reader) would be if an older thread got a new post, throwing it out of rough order...  would make me read it much later as I'm basically reading up the forum in reverse. Would be a project, but I could see a time line of posts being cool.

I'm looking to play. While I do MC, I'm trying to become a better MC through being a player in another MC's game. Hope that makes some sense?  Also new to PBP so don't really want to MC as my first experience there.

Running a train-themed Apocalypse World convention game. Pretty sprung from the thought "What if the hardhold were mobile? Something like a train?"   A bus of course would work but doesn't seem quite large enough.  I'd see something like a large ship at sea or maybe a caravan of trucks, buses, etc.

In the text it does specify an "Immobile" hardhold I believe but like everything that's not necessarily the only way to go.

Well, that makes two.

We're playing a forum-based game at: http://snailspace.forgreatjustice.net/index.php?TagFilter=59, that's pretty great.  We have just noticed that being asynchronous has affected the degree to which we use the helping move -- hardly ever because it would often require "going back" to change bits.

Wow, that's kind of hard to follow having not been involved but makes some good reading. I'll be scanning through this over the next few days. Looks like fun.

Just wondering about the online and skype or other internet based ApW games out there. Wondered how the experience of online play has lent itself to this game.  I've found the intensity of face to face play is great with Apocalypse World, more so than any other game I've been involved in and wonder how that translates to an online game. Are there any tools or sites which are especially useful?

Also I have found very few podcast or audio actual plays of the game, does anyone have a resource?

Last, if anyone has an ApW skype game in need of players I'd love to give it a try and would really appreciate it.
