Apocalypse World: Season 1

Hey so for awhile I've been wanting to learn how to GM, or more accurately want to find out if I'm any good. Let's just say I want to try GMing.

Point is I figure if I tell everyone up front that you're being subjected to a first-time GMer, then you can't blame anyone if I end up being terrible.
Or something like that.

So, the game is Apocalypse World, and I'm going to play it over Google hangouts.
If you don't have a google+ account, I guess you'll need one?

So let's see, what's the important information you need to know.

I don't know when we're starting, sometime next week probably.

Don't know what time, post your timezones and hours available I guess, and we'll choose a time that fits the most people.

Apocalypse World is a role playing game set in an undefined post-apocalyptic setting.
It plays a lot like Firefly watches, if that helps.

Oh wait, the manual has a "why to play" section, let me just quote that.

Show Content

SpoilerWhy to play:

One: Because the characters are fucking hot.

Two: Because hot as they are, the characters are best and hottest
when you put them together. Lovers, rivals, friends, enemies,
blood and sex — that’s the good shit.

Three: Because the characters are together against a horrific
world. They're carving out their little space of hope and freedom
in the filth and violence, and they're trying to hold onto it. Do
they have it in them? What are they going to have to do to hold it
together? Are they prepared, tough enough, strong enough and
willing?

Four: Because they're together, sure, but they're desperate
and they're under a lot of pressure. If there's not enough to go
around (and is there ever?), who'll stick together and who'll turn
on whom? Who do you trust, and who should you trust, and what
if you get it wrong?

Five: Because there's something really wrong with the world, and
I don't know what it is. The world wasn't always like this, blasted
and brutal. There wasn't always a psychic maelstrom howling
just out of your perception, waiting for you to open your brain so
that it can rush in. Who fucked the world up, and how? Is there a
way back? A way forward? If anybody's going to ever find out, it's
you and your characters.

That's why.

Okay, that actually went on a little long, so whatever, you don't have to read that.

What am I even saying.

Lets hang out with our voices and stuff and play some Apocalypse World over Google hangouts with a noob GM!

Woot!
