MC, and the rst session—and skim the rest, to get a handle on your job
as the MC.
PLAYBOOKS
e game’s playbooks and reference sheets contain all the rules that
the other players need to play: rules for creating and introducing their
characters, having them take consequential action in play, and changing
and developing them as play continues. Print them out before you play
and bring the set with you to your rst session.
You can nd them as free downloads at apocalypse-world.com.
THE CONVERSATION
You probably know this already: roleplaying is a conversation. You and the
other players go back and forth, talking about these ctional characters
in their ctional circumstances doing whatever it is that they do. Like
any conversation, you take turns, but it’s not like taking turns, right?
Sometimes you talk over each other, interrupt, build on each others’ ideas,
monopolize and hold forth. All ne.
ese rules mediate the conversation. ey kick in when someone says
some particular things, and they impose constraints on what everyone
should say after. Makes sense, right?
MOVES AND DICE
e particular things that make these rules kick in are called moves.
