Just FYI, guys. I've added a Lore page where I'll be tracking NPCs, locations, or stuff you run into.

Dice - Blackened Earth - Lore

World-Building Things don’t stay dead They don't exactly come back to life, either - they just go... wrong. They move around, they change shape, they kill. Sometimes they talk.Don't listen to them. Places of worship “Buttttt, I mean, probably it’s the things that those people worship. I...

Hey all, I added the list of chosen playbooks to the characters thread so it’s easy to see.

EDIT: thanks for nothing, phone!

I love all the playbooks, but my favorites are:

• Brainer - Because they're weird as shit. They can control people. Read their thoughts. Kill them without weapons from far. Did I mention fucking weird as shit?
• Gunlugger - Because I love being a fucking walking arsenal. And the fuck-off guns.
• Battlebabe - Seriously get into the shit, like deep. But 100% able to get out of it.
• Skinner - Don't do the work. Seduce them and make them do it for you!

For shame, no love for the Faceless ;P

I was lazily waiting for someone to post a template I could steal. Thanks Frixz!

I kind of want to do the worldbuild bit before I decide on specifics of my hardholder - was that just a thing we did once, or are we doing that again? Like a line per person of something about the setting before we get going?

I only LOVE them when you play them. Mmmmm.

Correct! That is a thing. The next thing, in fact. If it’s helps your chargen, we can start that now. Give me a bit and I’ll fire off world-building.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I’m going to keep working on the sheet and improving/adding stuff as need be, feel free to steal it but I’ll admit, I’m not great at sheets and formatting.

FYI hoping to get a rough CS out sometime today, but out of curiosity:

Grey for the world-building, you weren’t describing an abandoned museum/ nuclear plant by chance, were you?

 

[Grey]

Close! An aquarium, and a nuclear waste dumping site based on some papers I read about plans for long term storage sites,

Nice- both sound like some cool additions to the setting . Kudos on the research

 

[Grey]

Ah, it just conveniently lined up with some research I already had done for some of my own projects, but thanks.

 

[Teh Frixz]

That’s creepy stuff Grey, that wiki article! I love it

 

[Grey]

Thought you would! I like your school that won't go away.

 

[Teh Frixz]

Thank you! Just nanomachines doing their job long after the people who used them are dead and gone.

Heyo, think I'm gonna drop out on this. Seems like way to much to get knowledgeable on for a hobby.
Sorry for wasting time

I understand if you feel like you need to drop, but before you commit to that, can I ask what you mean?
The learning curve for mechanics can seem steep, but they're easy enough to learn.
There's no other knowledge really required.

 

[Teh Frixz]

Yah! All this lore stuff we are quite literally making up as we go, there haven’t actually been any mechanics at all yet. Apocalypse world requires 2 dice and that’s it. Quite literally one of my favorite systems of all time.

I went to make a character and it downloaded 60 something pages of information all relevant to the cool character types etc.

The MC for example has a whole page of threats to use or something (page 40)
And when the first impression of something that goes
"This is the required information we are using to craft a CS"
Ima just dance right on out

 

[Grey]

Honestly, you can ignore 90% of that. Especially the MC content.
You can genuinely just read a playbook and get going; anything that's relevant we or Wlf can explain when it becomes relevant.

Oh yeah! Sorry! The MC part is my part. You’re actually NOT supposed to read it.

You just pick one of the characters and fill out one page. All you need to know, 100% is on that sheet. No book. AND! You play the game by literally just saying what you do! I’ll take care of the rest!

I appreciate the clarification but I'm still like a odd belly button.

I'm outie dewds
