Apocalypse World / Re: new character playbook: quarantine

Vincent - this is great. I just watched Pandorum recently and have been thinking about Apocalypse World on a dying world ship, and this is perfect for it.

I am excited about getting my mitts on this thing.

blood & guts / Re: Sex moves => vulnerability moves
« on: October 15, 2010, 09:37:47 AM »
Fnord: I think part of my issue is my own attitude toward sex, namely that it's not something to take lightly. It has a lot of meaning and importance, and if people treat it like just another drug or buzz, all that depth is lost.
That's interesting, I see Sex Moves as doing exactly that - giving it meaning and importance. Making it the same as kissing seems to make it trivial to me.

Danny, that is fantastic.

I never expected to find so many people sharing my love of testosterone-poisoned masked weirdos.

Did you figure out why I named it Norman?

Apocalypse World / Re: In which we vomit forth apocalyptica
« on: October 05, 2010, 02:16:28 PM »
A worldship fired into space centuries ago. People eventually emerged from cryostasis to find that they were far off course from their destination, with no back-up plan. The best they could do was plot a course that would last several millennia without sending them into any asteroid belts or suns.

A couple generations later, and no one remembers how to work most of the tech. The eco sectors have been allowed to flourish untamed and are hunted in for meat and wild fruit. The agriculture sectors are fought for and grow a variety of foods in regulated environments.

There are a variety of holds throughout the ship with their members swearing allegiance to and fighting blood feuds over old separations that no longer hold the same meaning they did - Research, Engineering, and those sick fuckers Security.

Sometimes power flickers. Sometimes the whole ship shakes. No one really remembers they're on a space ship anymore, or even knows what that means. It's the whole world now.

Jim, player is a she rather than a he. And you're thinking of Joe's example. That is not the combination of sex moves my player wants at all. She played a Skinner at one point and is now finding she wished she had the Skinner's Sex Move for her character because she really liked it.

Vincent, I'll probably go with the first one. She's already talked about switching to the Skinner Playbook when she hits her 6th advance anyway. I think she can be patient.

Joe, she has some ideas about wanting to get her character pregnant in order to manipulate some of the local warlords, and she was thinking of how the Skinner sex move worked. We can probably come up with a custom move for her.

Jim, all the thematic stuff makes sense so I'm not going to really keep putting up that fight, but I want it to make sense from a rules perspective too. Those are moves, right?

A player of mine is asking me, and I'm not convinced I should or can say no.

I dig it, but I don't see why changing a character's fundamental philosophy is a bad thing. You're opening your character to complexity and multiple complimentary or conflicting outlooks.

Great sounding game.

Maybe once our campaign is through you can MC for me and show me how it's done, Matt.

Why can you say that about the sex move and not any of the other playbook moves though? I don't buy it. Doesn't the Angels healing abilities speak to the heart of the character? Doesn't the Brainer's psycho brainmelt abilities? You can take them.

The one where I min/max having sex for mechanical benefit.
I play games to escape my life, Joe, not recreate it.

All that time the Angel and Chopper spent fucking looks to me like an opportunity for a hard move on a golden platter.
