Any feedback on opening scenes? Stuff you like? Stuff that's confusing?
I'd like to have all of you in or around the same holding in DVFP. I hope that's cool. I don't expect you guys to travel as a pack, that often causes some slowdowns in PBP due to posting schedules, so don't worry about splitting the party. I'm perfectly capable of keeping up with all of you. Trust me on that, I do not mind running five simultaneous games at times. That said, the system of Apocalypse World is very rewarding for groups who work together, so please do find reasons to hang out, work together, however much you like. I'm just saying, play in the world. I'll bounce y'all together from time to time.
Who knows? Some of your PCs might even like each other. heh
I'm so stoked for this game, y'all. I've owned this damn supplement TWICE and never ever got any use out of it. It's great to get it out there.
Okay, since I'm blathering on. I've cobbled together a names list that is over 400 names long. Some are amaze-balls, some are weird, some are lame. But I'm loving them.
I will be posting up a NPC reference in the Basic Game Info thread, with pics. I'm planning on using a ix of real-world, drawing and CGI for NPCs, leaning more heavily on art and CG for this one. Just to try something new.
Okay, I'm done for now. Thanks for playing with me!
I'm finding the play with gender in two PCs very interesting. I'm hoping to explore that. If you'll notice, I'll often throw out NPCs half formed and not give them a gender. That's for you to play with! Don't assume they're all dudes.
Seon, don't forget to highlight! We need those for XP! You guys go first.
Triss, pick something to highlight. If you feel generous, Hard and Weird are ones I'm going to be hitting a lot. If you feel like making things difficult, Hot and Weird are my worst stats.
Are your scenes ok?
Sort of sad it is so quiet...
In the case of your thread, Christopher (should I call you Chris?), read a sitch makes perfect sense. HOWEVER, I want die rolls to happen "on screen". The forum has a neat little die roller app!
To activate a die roller, you type "#" and then "dice( 2d6+X )" X = equals your modifier. Now, keep in mind that once you use the die roller, you CANNOT EDIT that post. I recommend doing a roll in the same post as a bunch of fiction. I always post my "flavor text" before or after the die roll. I'll do an example die roller post next post.
Once the post is done, you can hover over it with your mouse icon (or tap it on most phone web browsers) and see the results. You can even right-click and toggle sum! Yup, sure do. I asked for them in another thread. I'm waiting for players to do highlights, then I'll do mine.

Rich - I'll put the roll in the next post, so I'm not editing the dice roll post.

Sten - I'll highlight cool.
Six - I'll highlight hot.
chalk - I'm highlighting hard.
Six - also highlight Sharp
Chalk - also highlight Hot
I highlight your sharp.
Who highlights Navarre?

Is it your convention to have us roll the harm move at +0 if we take no harm after armor? I've seen MC's go both ways.
Chris
I do roll Harm 0.
Is there something in the DVFP source material that's used?
What's cool for barter in a setting like this for you all?
