[Desolation] Desolation Discussion

Expect Chapter 2 soon. I have homework. I now take all this info and organize it into usable bits.


How are we feeling about the game so far?
 
Oh! And I absolutely love this game. You are doing an amazing job and I can't stop thinking about it! Too many good characters
 
Awesome, thanks. I enjoy it a lot.


The characters here are awesome. And I love the world stuff you guys have made.


I've only played a few Apocalypse World games thus far, but I haven't had a lame one yet. I'm in love with it, to be sure.
 
This is the most fun I've had with an RPG in a while. I'm liking this game a great deal.


Edit: Wolf, what do you feel are the highlights so far?
 
So far it seems really, really neat. I wanna try and cultivate into my offline gaming group to try and spread AW around more. Like I said before, thank you very much for running it! =D


New Goal: Make it through Chapter 2 entire game without shooting someone (See I told you I was a social character!)
 
Man, so many awesome things ...


I love Hooper's ability for carefree carnage. The scene where she shot the guy in the head with his own pistol had me laughing in horror.


I LOVE Ryoma's tattoos. The face that she can use them to go aggro and other moves just has me all giddy. The near sexual but awkward scene with Skags was brilliant.


I loved the scene where Hooper and Ryoma took on a biker gang. And won. Yeah, you fucking heard me.


I love Red Bean's comfortability with the Maelstrom. The scene where she finds a fun secret about Balls and Hooper was delectable. In my other games, people shied from the Maelstrom. I had to goad them into using the move, which is lame.


I love the image I have of Koch, her swinging custom armor and her fuck-off guns. I'm anxious to get her into combat and compare her to Hooper's wanton violence. When she got geared up, I had Metallica playing in my head like it was a montage.


Poor Fauci, I put that poor bastard in a spot and he was a good sport. I love that he kept his cool.


And then to round this shit off, I have a Hardholder who think he can wrangle you all. And that is just fucking awesome. Graves has added more to the game just running around and thinking/saying shit. I can't wait to see the wing of the prison you guys haven't explored yet.


DUHN, DUHN, DUUUUUUUHN.


So, yeah. I love this game. Period.
 
Now the only thing to do is prep for chapter two! :D


It's terrible not spastically checking up on the thread for updates!
 
Are we also going to do the rolls for our followers, gangs, etc at the start of Chapter 2, or do you want to wait longer for those?
 
Not to make every one of my posts an apology, but sorry for the complete lack of character development/input on my part in Chapter 1. :P


I'm free starting this afternoon, so the activity's going to be boosted.
 
I...I'm onto your intentions to turn this into a harem anime >_0


Worryingly I'm not certain if I want to stop it or not.
 
Tch, it'd be nothing like a harem anime - people would actually have sex.


Besides, I genuinely think it'd make for interesting subplottage - Wlf has me stoked to see the bigger picture as it is.
 
Well, okay, if I have to seduce Graves, I will... but just so you know, I am only doing it for the Xp. And that comfy red leather chair in his office. And his copy of Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat: A Calvin and Hobbes Collection. But that's it.


Unless I can get one of his hand-woven kilim rugs for my cell. Or maybe...
 
Sorry guys. Time got away from me yesterday. Should have a response today.


@thyme: No worries. The moved fine and you didn't die. So, seems like a no-harm-no-foul to me. ;)
 
For Grey/Graves :P


The lights of the entire prison block go dark with a foreboding whining as the generators die. Sitting in his office Graves should know what this means...


Emergency lights wink on, coating the office in a blood red color amplified by the dark shadows that twist the mundane into the terrifying.


The is screaming down the halls. A desperate sound, pleas for help. Graves can stand up from his desk just in time to see blood spatter against the window of his office door. The horrible wheezing punctuates the occasional sound the guard outside makes. The red of the emergency lighting makes the stain on the window abnormally vivid.


Graves can rush to the door, bar and lock it further but it is already too late. There is a sound like sandpaper being dragged through the trachea of some poor bastard. That's when Graves sees the vent hanging open...


She's in the room. He can't see her but the scent of death and the ever present wheezing betray her presence. Suddenly everything looks like her unfeeling visage. Light catches off a lamp and Graves mind sees the face. Raising his shotgun, he puts pressure on the trigger when ungodly awful hands cradle his neck. The palms of them hover tantalizingly over the windpipe while the thumbs trace the spine, teasing the spaces between each vertebrae.


The shotgun falls to the ground, going off as it hits the floor and somewhat mercifully hitting the blood red light. The room goes pitch black as Graves is thrown to the floor. The wheezing presence is amplified as the cold, almost electric, feeling of the mask touches his forehead. As his eyes acclimate, Graves can just make out a pair of dead eyes locked onto his. Unfeeling, blank, detached. He barely registers the foot pinning his arm to the floor as fabric is torn clear by the hands that held his life a few seconds ago.


He can feel a rumble in her chest as she speaks for the first time.


"Triple rations this week"


Almost by will, the Hardholder's eyes lose focus in the darkness as the Faceless once again misinterprets the orders given to her. This time in a much more personal fashion
 
A harem of a slasher villain, murderbuddhist, new age girl, and last remaining NRA member? Metal. Alas, I will not get the 1barter I am owed from Graves' sex move.
