Help me pitch sales?

lumpley:
So far, when people have asked me about Apocalypse World, my sales pitch has been to blink stupidly, scuff my feet, and perhaps mumble. Ask Nathaniel Cole, I did exactly that to him at GameStorm.

Help! I'm hopeless. What would you say?

It's Max Max, as written by Grant Morrison, and directed by Joss Whedon.

John Harper:
I tell people what it used to say in the playtest PDF under "why to play."

- It's basically Firefly.

- The characters are fucking hot.

- They're together against the world but they can't for sure trust each other and they're the only hope and what if they fuck it up?

Also:
- You don't really need to know the rules before we start playing.

- Sex moves.

As a warning, when "Orly" opened with this in his Apocalypse World game at GPNW, it gave a few people the impression it was a scifi game for a few while until we realized the disconnect and corrected it. So you might want to append that with "Except post-apocalyptic, instead of scifi".

John Harper:
Well duh.
