Apocolypse World and Some Questions


Recruitment


I have an idea for an Apocalypse World game. Besides being an interest check, I have a question. What sort of cursing will Paizo allow on their forums? If I am to do this, I want things to be crass and dirty.

Have you checked out "Obsidian Apocalypse" by LPJ Designs? It is a pretty awesome toolset and/or campaign world for an apocalypse setting.


If this does not work out, I have other ideas, but this one is ready now. It also demands a particular flavor to me that is not suitable for an LGS. But thank you for the suggestion.


I believe these boards will automatically censor any profanity detected. But the first letter of the word is preserved, so you get the idea pretty well.

As far as official rules that might affect your account, the community guidelines state:

Quote:

Profanity/Vulgar Speech

While certain language may not be offensive to you, please consider that some phrases may have a completely different effect on someone else. Trying to get around our profanity filter or purposefully obscuring profanity/vulgar phrases is not acceptable.

So it appears that they assume vulgarity may come up (and in an Apocalypse World this certainly would be true), what is prohibited is intentional means to bypass the filter (likely through the use of numbers that look like letters, or strategically placed spaces or punctuation, etc.)

So if you're ok with character's speech often littered with symbols for bleeps, then I think you're golden.

Also, I would be extremely interested in an Apocalypse World game and am familiar with the system/own the setting rules, FWIW.


Own it, interested in playing it, but just not sure the Paizo forums are a good place for a game where every character archetype has a distinct *COUGH* "Special Move."

If I'm being opaque, then take a look at a playbook, any playbook, and look for "Special Move." Should be pretty obvious what I mean. Monsterhearts has the same problem, only more of it since it's full of a bunch of high-school teenage outcasts who each also have a "Special Move."

If you decide to run it on another forum, feel free to let me know.
