There's a basic move that I'm not sure about, so I thought I would ask you all what you think of it.

See Things
This is what you do when you’re a seer in the presence of an apparition; apps don’t like being seen and humans aren’t meant to see apps, so it’s bad all round. When you see things, roll+sight. On a hit, you don’t grow colder; on a 10+, the app doesn’t react to being seen.

Essentially, it's the default move for learning about the apparitions the PCs face in the game... only the move doesn't really say that. Also, it looks really passive: the character isn't doing anything except checking to see if the app reacts to being seen. Is this still a basic move? Or is it a peripheral move? I was thinking of re-modelling it around the read a person move, with the PC being allowed to ask specific questions, but then there are a couple of unique moves in the playbooks that sort of cover that ground.

Opinions?

I'm thinking of adding another Seer Playbook who would be a kind of urban sorcerer, using graffiti as the source of her magic; these are the moves I've got so far:

You get this one:
Tag:  when you tag a public space, roll+fear. On a 10+, both; on a 7-9, choose one; on a miss, neither. When you tag a public space for the first time, take -1 cold. Design your tag on another sheet of paper and tell the MC where your first three tags are located.
o   It doesn’t take you too long to get it just right.
o   You don’t draw attention while you work.

Then choose one:
Infamy: take +1 ongoing when you are in sight of one of your tags.

Portal: touch one of your tags and take +1 cold to move instantly to any other public space with your tag.

Eyes on the Streets: when you use your tags as your eyes, roll+sight. On a hit, you can see through them as if you were there; on a 7-9, take +1 cold.

Facade: take +1 armour when you are in sight of one of your tags.

Magic Image: when you tag a public space, choose a move from another seer’s playbook; you can make that move as long as you are touching that tag.

It doesn't feel like I've really hit the nail on the head though: are the moves powerful enough to compensate for the fact that making them is tied to the locations you've tagged? Do they say 'magic' to you?
 

Here are the other half of the playbooks, the mundanes: they are more than a supporting cast for the seer characters, they are intrinsic to the story, with the right combinations of playbooks creating very different settings with different assumptions.

Just responding to the document as I read it:

I love how the Broke & Loaded rules work, especially the way they interact with your Vice: that's a clever and elegant way to face the players with hard choices right from the start.

I also like the clarification of putting up a fight: it's nice to have this baked into the rules as a condition that applies to the player characters.

Go Unnoticed: why do you still choose one on a miss? Shouldn't the consequence be that you don't get what you want when you miss a roll? At the very least, shouldn't the MC choose one on a miss, not the player?

Read their hand: this could do with some editing, as I found it quite difficult to follow when this move is triggered; should I roll when I ask someone a question? But if they have the option to answer truthfully in exchange for asking me a question, then is a roll always necessary? Perhaps this move is less about getting answers and more about being able to discern whether the answers are true or not?

Push & Tough it out: as I read this, I assumed that the former was the equivalent of act under firebut then I saw the latter, so now I'm not so sure. I think the wording of Push needs more clarification; also, regarding Tough it out, if I get 10+ and choose the first two options, don't they partially contradict each other? One implies that I recover quickly, while the other implies that I don't.

Send a message: I like this move a lot, it really captures the flavour of noir. One question: if I don't choose the second option as part of my result, what happens?

The Devil: just wow! What an excellent implementation of the Vice rules!

The Enforcer: this is an excellent way of making the typical big, thuggish bruiser into a desirable character: I'd love to play one of these!

In fact, all the playbooks are excellent: please try to playtest this as soon as possible, as I'd love to see an actual play report on it.

Well, that took longer than expected, but it's here at last: the Director's Cut!

You live in the 'hood, where your neighbours are trying to get by, keep their heads down and not draw too much attention to themselves, but that's life isn't for you. You want a bigger slice of the pie and you mean to get it; you may be small, but you're going to grow real big, real fast.

This is an Apocalypse World hack called The 'Hood, about ordinary people living on the fringes of law and society, looking for ways to make a buck no matter what it takes. The Director's Cut includes:

• A short introduction to the Apocalypse World system.
• Rules for basic moves, peripheral moves, experience, debt and heat.
• 27 playbooks, from The Barkeep to The Voice.
• A dissection of all the basic & peripheral moves for the MC.
• Guidance on creating the neighbourhood and MCing the game.
• The Score: a playset for one-shots.
• An appendix on the origins of the game.

It's on the Pay What You Want model, so please download and enjoy!

I've completed the Origins Preview now, so all the Origins have complete beginnings, traits, statuses and specials.

The next big job is to polish up the rules document, putting things in order, adding sections for tools and fronts and extending the agendas & principles to include things like secret identities.

Should I be calling this Just Heroes Reborn? ;)

Anyway, I've been inspired to write and rewrite a whole bunch more for this superheroic hack, so here's a preview of the style sheets as they stand.
