  1. I mean with AW… sometimes I go into a new session and when they’re making characters I start with: “alright, who slept with who?” Whereas I’m waaay more interested in special moves that trigger with “moments of intimacy” with other games. Depends on the genre and tone. But AW especially sex is underscored.

  3. Basically none. But the Urban Shadows style “intimate moment” moves show up often. Even just two dudes hunkered down behind a barrel for cover can share an intimate moment.

  5. Loads. More than almost any other game, sex in AW seems like an overriding concern. It’s often one of the few things these people have left, in addition to being something of a survival imperative.

  11. Medium amount? With fade to blacks. My character had sex in the second session. And two other characters have also had sex with each other during the second session

  23. Oli Jeffery, this character certainly has multi-personality issues and engages a lot with “imaginary” persons, figments of his imagination. In this case, it was an NPC that he had killed. I’m not sure if anyone knows what “actually” happened, but the viewer “saw” a rather steamy hospital shower scene — was he alone with a guilt-ridden figment of his imagination? was it a ghost of the one he killed? Kinda left to the viewer to decide. It certainly did unlock repressed and compartmentalized memories of him killing his own mother in the past. More advance fuckery.

  25. Timothy Bennett sounds a bit like my current faceless, but his guilt is over some child shit and he sees creepy imaginary(?) children in the maelstrom. I don’t think sex moves are in the cards there

  31. I had the least sex when I was a Skinner because I resented the fact that everyone just wanted me for my body, so I shirked errybody as Cricket. Who was mourning his wife and dealt with it poorly, giving himself to the maelstrom completely so he wouldn’t have to feel loss anymore.
