This city is your home, from the skeletons of skyscrapers, to the lonely leviathans that corrode in the harbors. from the burn flats to the river of stone and steel. The irradiated plains and the cannibals fortress are all familiar to you.
This is a game about the end of the world, and the unlucky f~&+ers who survived. you will play exceptional individuals in this destroyed world, and it will be about you trying to survive, and maybe more, in this unforgiving world.
There are a few assumptions with this game, beyond that the world will be entirely shaped communally.
1. The world ended about 50 years ago, and it stands at the edge of ,living memory
2.You are all, if not friends, then friendly, acquainted, and have worked together in the past
3. There is something at the edge of consciousness, a howling maelstrom of psychic energy, forged from the hate and pain of the end of the world (or perhaps the cause of it)
4. Yes I know that gasoline would be inert within 6 month after the end, but we are ignoring that, cars and guns are staples of the world
anyone interested?
Probably needs some rules details and such before anyone is going to respond. You know, what system and such.
Drop some rules and colored me more interested. Like the idea for the story but can't really say anything more then that right now.
would this be using pathfinder or...? (etc?)
I believe the system would be the eponymous Apocalypse World. For reference here's a link to a free preview of the game's 2nd edition, currently in process for release at the end of this summer, though Elsine may well just be planning on using the 1st edition rules. The basic mechanics of the two editions are fairly similar though, as are most of the archetypes.
And I see I totally failed to address the point of this thread! Yes, I'd be interested. I currently play a Quarantine in a pbp on these boards, but I joined after play began and the setting is Fallout-based; this is the only experience I have with the system. If I could get in on the ground floor and the world-building is more cooperative, I would be more than happy to play.
I am interested, been looking to get some experience with Apocalypse world.
Always interested in post-apocalypse games.
So what system etc?
I think so. I've played before, but games always fold.
I would love to play. I'm interested in a Hocus, Skinner, or Brainer.
Sounds fun but there would need to be more rules and guidelines.
