Realistic or Modern Apocalypse World

Apocalypse World

Something's wrong with the world and I don't know what it is.


It used to be better, of course it did. In the golden age of legend, when there was enough to eat and enough hope, when there was one nation under god and people could lift their eyes and see beyond the horizon, beyond the day. Children were born happy and grew up rich.



Now that's not what we've got. Now we've got
this. Hardholders stand against the screaming elements and all comers, keeping safe as many as they can. Angels and savvyheads run constant battle against there's not enough and bullets fly and everything breaks. Hocuses gather people around them, and are they protectors, saviors, visionaries, or just wishful thinkers? Choppers, gunluggers and battlebabes carve out what they can and defend it with blood and bullets. Drivers and operators search and scavenge, looking for that opportunity, that one perfect chance. Skinners remember beauty, or invent beauty anew, cup it in their hands and whisper come and see, and don't worry now about what it will cost you. And brainers, oh, brainers see what none of the rest of us will: the world's psychic maelstrom, the terrible desperation and hate pressing in at the edge of all perception, it is the world now.


And you, who are you? This is what we've
got, yes. What are you going to make of it?

This is an Apocalypse World inspired RP. This will not be a dice-rolling RP. If you are unfamiliar with Apocalypse World, check out their website.


The Apocalypse struck about 40 years ago, circa 1990's. Technology is limited.



Apocalypse World is also very similar to the Mad Max franchise with a little extra flavor. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to PM me or find me in the Shoutbox!


Posts should fall between 3 and 4 paragraphs, 5-7 sentences each, with at least reasonably good grammar.
 
Oh geez, a system based RP pitch. As rare on this site, as safe is in the desolate world you describe. Any particular premise or reason behind the party's formation? Environs of any sort?
 
As of right now, no. I would like to shape the story based upon the characters - once there are enough characters to do so.


I have a few premade locations ready to go, but I would like to use them only as a back up.


For the most part, the landscape is desert wasteland. Think Australian outback or Mojave.
 
You may create whatever you want! As I have said to others, having a Hardholder (leader class) would be great, but the beautiful thing about Apocalypse World is that you can have five meatheads and still have a blast. Choose whatever appeals to you the most. :)
