This post chronicles the second half of our Freemarket game. You can follow my post on character creation here and my recounting of the first half here. Let’s conclude our David vs Goliath story of stolen sex toys designs, covetous enlightened blanks and subtle revenge. Quick dramatis personae reminder: Jack Knife (Yan): Jack of many […]
Chatty Play’s: Freemarket Part 2, The Steam Stallion
In which Chatty shamefully tells the tale of how his players used a brand new, state-of-the-Art Role Playing Game and tested it’s revolutionary task resolution mechanic… to make a wall and a sex toy. True Story, but hell did everyone have fun.

Apocalypse Short: The Siege of Shanty Town (Part 5)
After not writing anything for nearly 2 weeks, Chatty returns with a short recap of his last Apocalypse World session where they concluded their mini-campaign. Was Shanty Town saved or was it shelled to bits?
Tales of the Apocalypse, Part 4: Bloody Sunrise
At this point, the players really got into what Vincent Baker told me Apocalypse World was all about: Loyalties in the face of crises.

Tales of the Apocalypse Part 2, Reprisal at Ambush Hill
In which Chatty recounts his first Apocalypse world session right after character creation. A fight, an explosion, some threats and a love scene, just like in the movies!
Tales of the Apocalypse: Part 1, Character Creation
A few weeks ago, I reviewed Vincent Baker’s Apocalypse World Role Playing Game and found it very well written and intriguing and enough to give it a few session’s worth of tries. I brought the whole crew back together and we sat down to create characters.
