John Harper’s old Warhammerish hack of Apocalypse World is doing the rounds in the Spanish speaking PbtA circles for some reason. It’s very unfinished and because it was for his group only has the playbooks they were playing, but the Basic Moves are a really strong expression of the standard moves that show up in a lot of other PbtA games.

Codex Spotlight – Café Luz Estelar

One of the great things about working on Codex is getting to see all the content just that little bit earlier, and Tom McGrenery’s Café Luz Estelar was one of the loveliest pieces to lay out.

It first appeared in Codex Starlight, and it was immediately intriguing as it was the first step Codex had taken out of the more usual RPG genres of fantasy, SF and horror, being a starter for Tom’s own Malandros RPG, a game of social struggles in the dying days of the Empire of Brazil.

It’s a time and a subject I know very little about, but Tom’s romantic and evocative prose takes you instantly there, with prompts including “Bohemian socialites, slumming it, top hats and velvet jackets and studied nonchalance” and “In the main saloon, mingled scents of tobacco, cachaça, rum, sweat and perfume.”

It’s illustrated by Sean Poppe, whose lively, sketchy accompanying pictures (like the one below) perfectly reflect elegiac nature of the writing.

I’m not quite clear on how weapon harm works in AW: Fallen Empires. Is a weapon only deadly in the area specified (eg. in quarters, on the field), or in the area specified and larger? If it’s the latter, doesn’t that make a dagger a mechanically much better weapon than a bastard sword? cc Vincent Baker​ Meguey Baker​
