I was just looking around pbta games and I woldered, Apocalypse World works well with a Walking Dead setting? The game looks a little more Mad Max type, doesn’t it? Or it is flexible enough?

  1. AW is flexible enough to do a Walking Dead, you’d need to build some custom moves for zombie hoards and individuals, how a PC or NPC can be infected, protected areas with countdown clocks, and the like.

    Tonally, the playbooks aren’t suited to a Walking Dead setting, though. You’d need to squint and ignore a bunch of flavor text, make some decisions about the default AW setting bits vs. a Walking Dead setting: is there a psychic maelstrom? does the Angel have that weird med kit?

  3. Alberto Martin del Campo Sola​ I always had trouble with zombies because they are a plot device not characters the players can interact with. Grotesques have personalities an RP potential. The drama in a zombie story comes from people interacting with each other in the stressful world where zombies exist.
