I think leverage as decided by the MC has to be there for you can make the roll. Like Proust says, "Hey, give you this knife to kill your sister," and Johnny's like "Fuck off." If Johnny is really into knives, though, maybe Proust found this out through a Read Person, Proust says, "Hey, give you this knife to kill your sister," and the MC is like, "Roll +hot." You gotta keep Apocalypse World real, and people won't do whatever you tell them just because you'll give them a really smooth rock you found in the dust basin no matter how well you roll.

(This is how I would adjudicate it in play, Vx's official answer may be different.)

About the last one; I'd bring the bullies back into play in the next session - that's an opportunity building, not an opportunity missed. Why are they bugging him? what do they want? how far will they go to get a reaction? Then Gears gets to deal with them again. Lucky Gears.

Yeah sounds like you announced future badness. :)

So I have a question that's a follow up. Let's say in a front three threats resolve but maybe one is left. And maybe now it seems like it belongs in another front. Would you maybe develop it as a completely different front and make some threats around it? Or let it pan out and let the ash settle and go from there and develop new Fronts/Threats afterward?

Guess we'll see tonight!

I can't see Jesus as John Turturro. Every time I picture him in my mind he looks like Jon Seda.

Still getting grips on rolls. I think I'm finally "getting" acting under fire as a catch all "oh shit things are kind of crazy can I pull this off" sort of roll. My brain keeps thinking in like skill charts or something. Stupid brain.

Iris has fallen in with White who wants to use the water shortage to get some sick profit since he's sitting on some water stores. She agreed to put her name on his sign which will be enough to keep some people away for awhile. I'm really not sure if she's planning on making good on her agreement to help him if he gets into some deep shit but we'll see. Oh and just now she is getting ready to set out on an expedition with Lemma and tells White about it. She's like "Yeah we're trying to fix the water problem," and he's like, "Are you crazy?!" So then she promises that she's getting a secure source of fresh water and he'll be the beneficiary here, like she's scamming Ozair so they can profit more. Doubt it, but White's bought it.

Oh and Sorrow's Children are all fucking with Iris and sneaking around her cave. Tumtum who is like Sorrow's second has a beef with Iris. Sorrow was laid up since Joe couldn't make it to game, so he was in the sick tent leaving Tumtum to figure out what to do. Obviously Tumtum has no idea what to do since Sorrow does his best to make them all dependant on him, so they're getting kind of weird.

I love Lemma. S/he's like, "Fuck watching this rope waiting for Jesus to come back, I want to do some SCIENCE," and just wanders off. S/he's right at the age where s/he's gonna push his buttons and Ozair seems like someone who is not a people person typically so how is Ozair gonna deal with that.

Nobody's fucked anybody yet though. I feel like a failure as an MC.

Yeah, those are great. Thanks! I'll rewrite the stats accordingly. I just need some free time to do more hackery and come up with basic moves.

Here's how to play Primetime Adventures with Apocalypse World

I am hacking Playbook: Bob Saget right now.
