Apocalypse World is profoundly important work. It has shaped the landscape of roleplaying games for over a decade, and with this third edition, I'm sure it'll continue to shape it for a decade more. Clever, gripping, and human. There's still a few hours to snag your kickstarter copy!
Here it is. The final 24 hours. You've helped coax banked embers into a steady flame. Tell me, what is one thing you'll bring with you into What-Comes-Next? Seeds? Thread? A good kitchen knife? What will you make of what's left? Together, let's light up the world.

ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

Today on Dice Exploder I talk with @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social about Apocalypse World 3e. We took the 2e Brainer playbook and broke down every change as it became the 3e Brain-Picker.

I taught someone apocalypse world this past weekend and their mind was blown when I told them to not ask “can I shoot him,” and instead say, “I shoot him. What happens?”
Now he’s hooked.

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

For smaller scale folks who can afford $150, there's a $150 Creator Pay-It-Back tier as well.
But again, like they say: it's voluntary; you're not obligated, and it should only be if you actually have the means. I get that plenty of PBTA creators out there don't, so it's on those of us that do.

I feel silly boosting this because encouraging people to back this kickstarter is roughly akin to encouraging people to continue breathing. This is not just an unabashedly good thing, it is a whole stack of huge, unabashedly good things. It is so evident that I just assume everyone *knows* this.
