I'll explain the thinking behind the castle move when I'm on the internet proper as opposed to the PS3 I'm using at the minute!

I think the move is quite powerful but it's also got a very narrow focus which kinda levels it out to me. I only wanted to include one use (stat) instead of (stat) move in the playbook as well.

I'll probably move it from a "you get this one" move to one of the ones in the choose from this list though.

Yeah, Tact is a cool idea, I'll explain the thinking behind the castle move when I'm on the internet proper as opposed to the PS3 I'm using at the minute!

So, I run Apocalypse World at as many UK cons as I can get to, and I also post on UK Roleplayers quite a lot, so I thought I would try and come up with a playbook that's only available to download from that site.
The idea behind this is basically that stereotypical English toff, usually an Officer in the military like what you would get in A Bridge Too Far, or an aristocrat like from in The Kings Speech.

Here's what I've got so far....

The Gent

When the cities fell and the maelstrom began and everything was just going to shit all around, there was one thing that looked like it was lost forever.

But this guy, he’s still got it. That certain thing that makes you believe in the nobleness of the soul. That some people are just born better than others.

This guy, you know what he is? He’s a Gent.

Creating a Gent

Cool+2, Hard-1, Hot-1, Sharp=0, Weird+2
Cool+2, Hard=0, Hot-1, Sharp+1, Weird+1
Cool+2, Hard=0, Hot+1, Sharp+1, Weird-1

Basic moves
You get all the basic moves.

Gent Moves
You get this one:
•A Gentleman’s Home is His Castle: When you are safe and secure in your own abode you may roll Cool instead of the listed stat for any of the basic moves.

Then pick two of these:
•Stiff Upper Lip: +1 cool (cool +3).

•The Old Boy Network:

•Blue Blood: You can roll +Cool instead of +Hot when you manipulate someone.

Gear
You get clothes appropriate to your look (worth armour-1 if you want), and one Gentleman’s weapon.
Gentleman’s weapons (choose 1):

Hx
Everyone introduces their characters by name, look and outlook. Take your turn. List the other characters’ names.

Go around again for Hx. On your turn, choose 1, 2 or all 3:
•   Pick who you think is beneath your contempt, tell them Hx -2.
•   Pick someone who hasn’t let them self degrade into savagery. Tell them Hx+2.
•   Pick someone who you find amusing in a pitiful kind of way , tell them Hx+1.
Everyone else, you stay distant from. Tell them Hx -1.

On the others’ turns,.

At the end, find the character with the highest Hx on your sheet. Ask that player which of your stats is most interesting, and highlight it. The MC will have you highlight a second stat too.

Special Move
When you have sex with another character,.

Improvement

Whenever you roll a highlighted stat, and whenever you reset your Hx with someone, mark an experience circle. When you mark the 5th, improve and erase.

Each time you improve, choose one of the following. Check it off; you can’t choose it again.
__ get +1hard (max hard+2)
__ get +1hot (max hot+2)
__ get +1sharp (max sharp+2)
__ get +1weird (max weird+2)
__ get a new Gent move
__ get a new Gent move
__ get 2 gigs (detail) and moonlighting
__ get a gang and leadership
__ get a move from another playbook
__ get a move from another playbook

Barter
If you’re charging someone wealthy for your services, 1-barter is the going rate for:

1-barter will cover a month’s living expenses, if your tastes aren’t too grand.

As a one-time expenditure, and very subject to availability, 1-barter might count for: a night in high luxury; any weapon, gear or fashion not valuable or hi-tech; repair of a piece of hi-tech gear by a savvyhead; a year’s tribute to a warlord; bribes, fees and gifts sufficient to get you into almost anyone’s presence.

Nano-bots are well cool! I ran a game at Conception here in the UK last month where the psychic maelstrom was basically nano-bots, the game revolved around the PC's trying to get control of devices that could control the bots. In the end game 3 of the PC's ended up getting swarmed and eaten to various degrees, with the Hocus deciding to open is brain to the maelstrom whilst this was going on. He didn't do very well on his roll and got eaten.

Yo,
I've ran Apocalypse World at 3 cons now, 2 of which were multi-day events. The best successes have been from running a double slot game with the first slot = character and world generation with the first session work sheet. Then generating fronts before playing the second session.
Suppose this is dependant on what type of con you're going to and if you're likely to get players who are willing to commit to 2 slots on one game.
I've also played in 2 slot games and found them much more satisfying than regular con games .
Oh, the standard slot time here in the UK seems to be 4 hours.

Last game I ran I totally failed to make the Gunluggers life interesting. There was some cool stuff the players came up with during the first session, involving rival factions and a gladiator style contest. When I got to asking the Gunlugger what he was doing he said he was sitting in his room. Nothing else. I was kinda lost what to do with him so just left him there......

Awesome news!
