Cool playbook setups
« on: June 20, 2011, 01:56:14 PM »
This is a spinoff of the most and least popular playbook thread, and this post in particular:

Quote
If I were to pick out three iconic playbooks for AW, it would be Battlebabe, Hardholder and Brainer.

Yup. If I had to write a script to an AW movie tomorrow, they'd be all present and accounted for.

If you wrote an AW movie tomorrow, what playbook protagonist combination would you choose?

Which playbooks do you consider AW's iconic ones? (like D&D:s fighter, cleric, rogue and wizard)

Do you have a combination of playbooks that you are anxious to try out sometime, or that you are particularly pleased with how it played out?

Seems like the icons are chopper, savvyhead, hardholder, gunlugger.

Honestly, I think *any* combination of playbook protagonists would work for a movie.  Maybe something nutty like hocus, quarantine and faceless would be fun.

I think it really depends on the movie...

A road-trip through the apocalypse... well, you'd probably want a Driver, Operator and maybe an Angel and a Brainer to mix things up...

Or a Chopper's gang, including a Battlebabe, Savvyhead, and... a mysterious Faceless...

Last bastion of humanity... Hardholder, Gunlugger, Skinner, and a Hocus as a foil to the Hardholder...

So many workable combinations... makes me want to play more... *laugh*
