I'd like to have a go at running some Apocalypse World if anyone's interested. It's basically a gritty, post-apocalyptic RPG of survival and scarcity.

Not run it before so there'll be a learning curve for everyone, but if there's three of four people who want to give it a go I'll run it for a bit and see how it goes down.

A bit more information (character playbooks and forums) can be found at http://apocalypse-world.com/

cheers

Cool.

I'll get the playbooks and quick reference sheets printed up anyway so it's ready to go if and when there's enough players.

I should point out that I'm committed to Phil's game for the next 1-2 weeks but free after that.

Hi Matt,
After talking about it with you last week, I'm certainly interested in giving it a go. I'm not entirely sure how I'd get on with it, as it sounds like you have to go for full immersion roleplaying (i.e. true roleplaying the character, as opposed to controlling the character - which is the way I usually go at it).

Cool. I'll be there tonight to talk about the game a bit more for those who are interested, and maybe discuss timings for when everyone's freed up.

@thefatorc
Hi Steve,
Great. I think controlling the character ('Character Stance' in nebulous rpg jargon) is a big part of AW. The main principle is 'make your characters real people' - up to you how you do that.

Thanks all

Okay, so it looks like we have 4/5 players:

Paz (Matt) thefatorc (Steve) Skumshaman (Pete) and Liam. And then a provisional place for Milly. That's cool - four or five is a good number.

The plan is to kick things off in a fortnight (Mon, June 6). Any questions or stuff, feel free to drop me a pm.

Cheers,

Matt
