JuddSession One tomorrow afternoon from 1pm to 3pm EST on the Actual Play twitch channel.
I'll RT just before we start it up.
It took Bastet and Lup a little under 40 minutes to induce their first depressurization event in a space station.
We know why folks are terrified of Lup and why Bastet as a rep for being a heartless Operator.

Felt good to M.C. Apocalypse World: Burned Over.
Can't wait to write up my threats.
Apocalypse World: Burned Over playbooks do a few things VERY well. Chief among them today was, they raise questions.
Earned a mountain of spoils as a machine of war?
Fuck yeah, let's talk about that. Who have you killed for?
You weigh your reputation like any other resource, and you’re willing to let it take the hit when doing something shady will net you.
Sounds a little heartless...how's that working out for ya?
The Operator can give parts of the setting context and add a thing. So helpful.
I had vague ideas and the playbook gave me the handles I needed.
The Weaponized gave me this Cylon-ass shit.
I nearly did a dance when Aaron chose Hive Mind.
6 threats, 7 clocks and 2 moves.
That'll work.
That is fun and I think my thoughts on, I like my settings to have more questions than answers, comes from AW prep.
Have a few questions you'd like to see answered for each thing is so fucking good.

Brand_R@Judd The Weaponized is one of the best playbooks of any PbtA game at giving the MC open permission to help them find out now that they've already fucked around.
It is shockingly good.
I'm using lots of fun bits from the Murderbot science fiction series for that character. If you want a fun series of scifi novellas, check it out.
Peter Kisner ≈@Judd Almost completely irrelevant, but:
Every time I see that title I can't help thinking of 19th Century upstate New York:

Erik@Judd Burned Over looks so cool. That aspect of the operator was exactly what caught my eye when I browsed through it as well.
Glitch@Judd nice! I’ve been meaning to check it out. Have you also run regular AW before? And if so, did the experience differ significantly?
I have run lots of AW, the first edition.
It isn't significantly different. Same basic tools. The Bakers are just getting better at what they do.
The playbooks and the prep guidance are getting better and better with each edition.
And those were the strong points of the earlier editions. I didn't think those things could be improved upon but here we are.
@Judd very cool. I’ve never actually gotten the chance to play AW— any kind. I’ve got a brainer waiting in the wings for when I do though.
AquaVertigo@Judd I really love running #ApocalypseWorldBurnedOver but have only done 1-2 sessions of it. Glad to find your actual play.
Once my schedule gets firmed up I'll be trying my first short campaign set in my Hard Zone of Starfall.
