Here are some basic rules about how the game will work as a play-by-post.

END OF SESSION: Stuff happens at the start and end of a session of Apocalypse World. Because we are playing on a forum, we'll have to tweak the rules a bit. The session will 'end' at a particular plot point or every 7 pages, whatever comes first. At that time we'll re-highlight stats, pay for lifestyles, and do any other moves that are necessary.

QUESTIONS: During play I'm gonna ask a lot of questions, I'll try to highlight them with a color to make them stand out. About 80% of the questions will be things that you will have to come up with on the spot, but you'll have plenty of time to think of a good answer!

FORUM GUIDELINES: Technically the forums on Gamers Plane are supposed to be PG-13, but that's really hard to do with this game. I set the forums on private, so we shouldn't have random people getting offended. However, I'm still not going to write about anything excessively grotesque or sexual, and you shouldn't either.

This is a list of in-game stuff you should know about.

ABOUT THE MAELSTROM:
It's a physic swirling mass of malice and weirdness that can take many forms. It's either a byproduct of the apocalypse, or something that caused it. For our game everything in the Maelstrom will be Christmas/Winter Holiday related. Opening your brain could lead to anything from Killing Floor's Twisted Christmas to a mild trip about the island of misfit toys

ADVENT: The settlement you all live in, there will be more details after we do character creation. Right now it's pretty much a blank slate.
