OOC (Broken Lands)

[WlfSamurai]

Welcome to Apocalypse World. The show will begin shortly.

 

[Teh Frixz]

May want to tag your players here too~

 

[Tzer]

I'm drifting between a Gunlugger, a Hocus, and a Savvyhead. I'm going to sleep on it. Anyone else that's interested, please feel free to claim any of those three since I haven't made a final decision.

 

[ThaDruid]

I'd like to take the Hocus, if nobody else is interested.

 

[Grey]

Torn between Brainer and Hardholder, and the Child-Thing has me intrigued. Waterbearer is also an interesting one.


Hmm.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I know, all the new playbooks are great!

 

[Teh Frixz]

Waterbearer, Faceless, News

 

[Grey]

News definitely looks like fun, but I'd save them for an explicitly more stable, further from the Apocalypse game.

 

[Tzer]

I decided on Gunlugger.

 

[WlfSamurai]

The more I read the preview, the more I really like the changes.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Oh, I get it. You're supposed to use the "Main" tab as the IC thread?

 

[Teh Frixz]

You got it

 

[WlfSamurai]

Goodness. Glad I FIGURED IT OUT.

 

[WlfSamurai]

So, any updates on what playbooks people are thinking?

 

[Grey]

I'm gonna see how the group is panning out before I settle, but I may go back to Hardholder.


I'm inclined to pick a mobile hold of some kind, like a train.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I wonder how that will mesh with my Waterbearer

 

[WlfSamurai]

Wow. Rocking some super fancy sheets. Love it.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Can we have the characters done by Monday night? Is that enough time?

 

[Tzer]

I can likely get mine done tomorrow, but Monday and Tuesday is my weekend, so it'll be Monday at the latest.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Cool. Looking forward to it.

 

[Grey]

I should sort mine out this evening.

 

[Grey]

Alright friends, help me out here - Chopper or Child-Thing?

 

[WlfSamurai]

The Chopper has a gang, which is awesome. Especially with the new combat and chase moves.


The Child-Thing says a lot about the world. The Maelsrom moves are super neat.

 

[Grey]

I am also still tempted by the idea of a Hardholder with some mobile snow-crawling war machine, hiring out his gang to Frixz's Waterbearer to protect her source.


Needs more chatter in here, methinks.


Child-Thing wouldn't be a nuisance to work with, Wlf? As a GM I'm looking at it and feeling mildly concerned but cannot adequately articulate why I'd hesitate to have one at my table.

 

[Tzer]

I think Child-Thing does impose a little bit on the GM with the Maelstrom stuff, but it doesn't look like WlfSamurai minds. The moves, and general feel of the playbook, seems a little raw and unfinished to me. I think either of those might be the source of your reluctance.
