Had a great Hangout last night with Meguey Baker J. Walton Adam Koebel and Pete Figtree about player-side moves in Apocalypse World.
This is a follow up to our first discussion about hacking AW in general: How to Hack Apocalypse World with the AW Hacker All-Stars

if you’re like me and rubbish at coming up with names on the fly, what might be a good resource fo finding names for the many and varied citizens of Dis?
Been finding this awesome for mission adjuncts lately, especially since I’m playing a fair bit of solo play.

Hey Jon
Hey Jon,
Any chance of someone writing up the most excellent ‘Posse Creation’ bonds into the Planarch Codex style PDF handout? Or add them somewhere to the character sheets? I love this part of play and always add it to the one-shot WoD Intro spiel. Instant factions and all that.
Love your work mate 🙂

So, a few months ago someone on Story Games linked to this course on Coursera, ‘Designing Cities’. I can’t find the post, so I don’t know who it was, but if it was you thanks so much – it’s been amazing.
The course has been interesting throughout, but the last set of lectures this week have been pure Planarch Codex gold. It’s been about visionary cities, cities that have been designed but never built. It’s been a brilliant melange of craziness: walking cities, floating lily pad cities that migrate from place to place, pods clustered onto the outside of towers, cities that underlie existing cities and subvert the intentions of their designers, cities that express political ideals.
You should still be able to sign up and get access to the videos – highly recommended. As I say, it’s all good, but the Visionary Cities stuff in week 9 is highly game-able.
Lady Mirrors is a Medusa, skilled in alchemy and sculpting.
Lady Mirrors is a Medusa, skilled in alchemy and sculpting. Once an artist, she now serves the rich of Dis as a plastic surgeon, petrifying her patients, then applying the chisel and quick-dry cement as needed, before turning them back to flesh with a potion of her own concoction.
Now she needs to hire a very discreet group of freebooters. It appears one of her petrified clients has been stolen by persons unknown, and she needs them back before word gets out and her reputation is ruined.

I also just updated our links to include character sheets for both DW and World of Dungeons, the one-shot guide, and the experimental Calvino Cycle campaign. If you view the community page on G+, you should see them.

Some folks asked about heritage moves recently, so I wanted to link to the semi-official Guide to Running Planarch One-Shots that I posted (somewhere?) a while back. While it specifically focuses on running convention games and other one-shots (sharing the Planarch love with others), it does include the list of heritage moves I bring along for demos and some other suggestions that are useful for longer-running Planarch games. Hope you all find it useful!

Only found this community recently, but this was a game I ran at a con a while back, and typed up the AAR because I totally had to share it with people.
I drew inspiration from the Planarch Codex and things went pretty well, except for a few things: I needed to spend more time before the game clarifying what heritage moves were and probably providing examples for the players, and I wanted to impress on players the weird alien beauty of the place and the Sultana, but also ended up making the Showboat think he couldn’t really use Lover In Every Port.
I also ended up shifting a couple of the assumptions of Dis, I think, but this was with a group of characters who were fictionally much higher-powered, and being a con game, I wanted them to be able to find some answer to the question they came into Dis asking in the first place.
Anyway, AAR’s in the link, I’d enjoy it if you could read and comment.
So.

So… there’s a new Planarch Codex supplement, and I just finished the first draft. It’s pretty weird! But I hope people dig it. Definitely still needs to be played and edited, and will probably always be a free thing. I have some thoughts on future changes too, but this is good enough for now.
Now back to the other projects demanding my immediate attention!
Special shout-out to: Claudia Cangini Paolo Bosi Nikitas Thlimmenos and Ben Wray for being responsible for this madness.
