APOCALYPSE WORLD
LIMITED EDITION PLAYBOOKS
At this writing, April 2011, I've published 5 limited edition playbooks for Apocalypse World.
The MAESTRO D', for people who preordered Apocalypse World at its initial release. The Maestro D' runs a social establishment, like a bar, a drug den or a bordello.
The FACELESS (codesigned by Bret Gillan), for people who buy, play, or run Apocalypse World at conventions. The Faceless is a giant unstoppable killing machine, but built for tragedy.
The QUARANTINE, for people who supported Joshua A.C. Newman's kickstart for Shock:Human Contact. The Quarantine is a soldier from the past who's been in stasis since the apocalypse.
The HOARDER (codesigned by Elizabeth Shoemaker Sampat), for people who contributed to Elizabeth's Sight for Sore Eyes benefit. The Hoarder is a creepy character with a powerful collection of goods and a uniquely appraising vision.
And the TOUCHSTONE, for everyone who buys Apocalypse World on or after April 1, 2011. The Touchstone hopes and fights for a better future that only she can see.
I expect to publish at least three more before the end of 2011.
Occasionally I'll re-release one or some of them - I'm offering the first 4 to people who attend Fabricated Realities 2011 in Olympia WA, for instance - and I expect someday to publish them in a collection, but at this writing I have no concrete plans for that.
GETTING YOUR HANDS ON THEM OTHERWISE
They're out there! People have them and I know they're willing to share and to trade. My advice is to go to someplace like rpg.net or story-games.com and ask.
LIMITED EDITION PLAYBOOKS AND YOUR OWN PROJECTS
If you have a project in the works and you think a limited edition Apocalypse World playbook could help it out, drop me a line. I'll be happy to talk it over with you.
THANKS
Thanks! I hope you like my game.
