Another DW one-off, another win! I’m getting the feeling that DW is a near-perfect system for one-offs!
This one began with something a little more complex than previous examples:
BOOM! The deck of the sky-ship lurches as a huge flaming rock smashes into the hull, your ears ring and you grab for a handhold. A sailor is thrown overboard, falling to his likely doom.
Questions:
Who is firing at you and why?
One of you is a stow-away, why?
There’s an additional threat on the attacking force, what is it?
The battle lasted about 2 hours and was a perfect introduction to the three players, all of whom were experienced role-players but none had played DW (preferring Shadowrun).
There are a couple of Shadowrun PbtA hacks floating around out there. One on the apocalypse world forums called “The Sprawl”, though that’s more pure Cyberpunk, and I’ve seen one called “Sixth World” that’s more Shadowrunny.
That sounds really cool. My players sadly didn’t like answering questions, so unfortunately that aspect of DW didn’t work for us 🙁
I like it! It really sounds exciting.
