Vincent Baker Interview: Apocalypse World

Posted in Apocalypse World, Interview, Non-Actual Play, RPG Only on April 4th, 2011 by Kevin Weiser

Kevin and Troll sit down with D. Vincent Baker to discuss some of the nitty gritty of Apocalypse World. We talk a fair bit about the philosophy behind Moves, and the inspirations for Apocalypse World. A small note on the audio quality: Vincent’s microphone seems a bit unreliable, so some parts of the interview were very quiet. Kevin tried to amplify and salvage it as best he could, but the result might be a bit annoying in some parts. Apologies for that. It might be best to listen to this interview w/ headphones.

Posted in Apocalypse World, Discussions, Non-Actual Play, Review, RPG Only on March 29th, 2011 by Kevin Weiser

Kevin, Jen, CJ, and Troll gather around to discuss the ins and outs of D. Vincent Baker’s Apocalypse World. There were a wide variety of opinions about Apocalypse World, and we spend some time discussing the particulars of the GM style of AW and how the tone of the text affects some people’s enjoyment of the game. Overall, we really enjoyed Apocalypse World.

Apocalypse World AP 4

Posted in Apocalypse World, Play Sessions, RPG Only on March 16th, 2011 by Kevin Weiser

The crew gets together for our final session of Apocalypse World. We sit down and generate a new character for Jen and integrate her into the game world. It works out pretty well, and we have a nice setup for further stories. Also, Errol’s efforts to seduce Midnight finally come to a… head?

This was a tumultuous session! Corbett, the leader of Princey’s personal security, decides he’s had enough of playing second fiddle to Midnight. There are no status quos in Apocalypse World! This session proves that, as everything changes, drastically and preeminently.

Apocalypse World Actual Play Session 1

Posted in Apocalypse World, Play Sessions, RPG Only on December 19th, 2010 by Kevin Weiser

Jen and Kevin have been playing in a “warm-up” Apocalypse World game for the last couple months and its been an absolute blast. We were all very excited to show our listeners D. Vincent Baker’s new game. In the first session, we do a little bit of world creation, character creation, and a few quick scenes to get a feel for the characters. Jen may have created her most disturbing character yet! Enjoy.
