Hey,

So we had our wrap-up session of Apocalypse World a couple weeks ago so I should tell folks how it turned out.

( A Pirate's Life For Me )

That pretty much was it. The pirates were defeated, Doc was gone (for good it seems) and Skel has some new playmates. It was quite a bit of fun. There are a number of tweaks I'd make when running an Apocalypse-powered game in the future, but for a first-time with the system, I think I did ok.

Hi,

More notes from the game.

( here be notes )

So lots of problems for Scooby and the Gang to hash out. We're trying to get a read on how long it will be until the next GM is ready to run so that will determine how to run the pacing. There's also the holidays coming on so be might not be regular again until after the New Year (yes, yes, there's nothing regular about me at all I hear you cry).

Oh I'VE got something regular...

p.s. ...IN MY CATCHPHRASE!

Hi,

Once again, we got together for another session of Apocalypse World and once again, I took some notes. Not quite as narrative as my other campaign notes, these mostly help me remember the broad strokes of what happened.

( The Heart of Darkness Now )

We called the game at this point. I continue to be really happy with the system and I like the way it provides a short, focused prep session for the GM after the first game and then you can just let things roll, but also leaves room to improvise as players come up with stuff. Originally I was going to hold Doc in reserve, but Skel accepted the invitation so he came on a little early.

I'm also super pleased that Ponch opened his mind. It's always fun when characters operate outside their areas of specialization and mind-opening is something that has an enormous risk/reward potential. I'm hoping to get everyone to open their mind at least once, but when the Warden finally does so, I think it'll be something special.
