SAT-02 Companions (Doctor Who w/Apocalypse World, 3-5 plrs)

[jtidwell]

Hey, all! On saturday, I will be playtesting my Apocalypse World hack, Companions. You use it to tell your own stories in the Whoverse, which the Doctor has died. You play his surviving companions.

I'm looking for 3-5 players.

Here's the elevator pitch:

Something is wrong with the Universe, and you know exactly what it is. We used to live in a candy-colored age, full of wonder and danger in equal measure. Standing over the balanced Universe were its mighty guardians, the Timelords. A great war destroyed all but one of them. He was the Earth’s defender, protecting it time and again from alien threats. He was a god humbled by death. He was your friend. He was the Doctor.

And then he died.

Now the Doctor’s enemies gather and plot, scheming to claim the Universe for themselves. Only you, his stalwart and learned companions, stand against the encroaching darkness. It’s a good thing he trained you so well, isn’t it?


Look forward to seeing everyone at the con!

I'm already booked in this slot, but I just want to say that this is made of awesome.

[Zelbinian]

I'm down for this. Have yet to play Apocalypse World vanilla yet, but that session is full and I'm determined to play it

[jtidwell]

Excellent! I'll probably run AW at some point too, as will lots of folks, I imagine.

[20-Sided_Dave]

Frak yes, I'm there.

I don't think I can make this session, but I'm intrigued--how are you planning to run this? Straight AW rules with reimagined aesthetics? Redesigned Moves? Redesigned Playbooks?

Peace,

All three, with most emphasis on the latter two. I have six new playbooks, and a bunch of new basic moves. I kept a few of the original AW ones, with changes in names and descriptions for tone.

Still room in this? I want to play!

Still room in this? I want to play!

Sure is! That's three players now.

[Joel P. Shempert]

Sounds like lots of fun! I just finished watching all the Eccleston episodes for the first time, and I wish I could make the game. Have a blast, people!

Peace,
-Joel
