Apocalypse World (2nd Ed)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Something's wrong with the world and I don't know what it is.

It used to be better, of course it did. In the golden age of legend, when there was enough to eat and enough hope, when there was one nation under god and people could lift their eyes and see beyond the horizon, beyond the day. Children were born happy and grew up rich.

Now that's not what we've got. Now we've got this. Hardholders stand against the screaming elements and all comers, keeping safe as many as they can. Angels and savvyheads run constant battle against there's not enough and bullets fly and everything breaks. Hocuses gather people around them, and are they protectors, saviors, visionaries, or just wishful thinkers? Choppers, gunluggers and battlebabes carve out what they can and defend it with blood and bullets. Drivers search and scavenge, looking for that opportunity, that one perfect chance. Skinners and the Maestro D' remember beauty, or invent beauty anew, cup it in their hands and whisper come and see, and don't worry now about what it will cost you. And brainers, oh, brainers see what none of the rest of us will: the world's psychic maelstrom, the terrible desperation and hate pressing in at the edge of all perception, it is the world now.

And you, who are you? This is what we've got, yes. What are you going to make of it?

I got a print version from my game shop. The code for the pdf was for the Spanish version. The shop says that there is nothing they can do. Who do I contact about getting my pdf in English? The Spanish one seems to be a different publisher.

So it's been like about a month since this post, any further idea how soon it'll be back? I really like PDF files, but I much prefer print copies of things. I'd really like to dig in to this system a lot more but I want some print copies.

Anyone know if there is contact info for the author anywhere? Where it's out of print I wanted to try and get permission to print off a copy of it.

I believe that he works for Vindicated Entertainment now. If the PDF allows printing, you should be good to go unless you're using a professional service. Try to contact him at Vindicated if so.

Does this PDF have bookmarks?

I've read a few comments stating that it doesn't, but they are all a few years old at this point, and I wanted to check if they've been added in the meantime.

Howdy, I am fairly new to the RPG Scene and was hoping to play something super fun with my family (my mom really enjoys the post apocalyptic genre) and I was wondering if this would be a good system to roleplay, me as GM and my family as PCs. It will hopefully be my first time GM-ing but a very close friend of mine is very experienced, and has offered to help me out as much as he possibly can. My main question was whether or not this book contains any playable campaigns within it, or if I would need to find some that had been previously created to play through with my family.

Hey Ludo, this is a great game but not sure if it is a good start or if it is for the family. The game does not have campaigns and teaches you how to improvise situations on the spot.

Also, there is a spanish version available if you want to check.

Hey, Vincent wants to get this on your website, trying to read what you got there but that damn picture of your book cover is covering all the text makes it really annoying to try and read your page.

It'll be available in print soon, at apocalypse-world.com. I'm only holding off until the last of the backer rewards ship.

Thanks!

Cheers - thanks for clarifying :)

Is there a mailing list or something we could sign up to for notifications when they become available?

Bought the HC/PDF combo via your webstore (same email address as my account here). Thanks for the email letting me know the HC was available :) Assuming there is no way to get the PDF on DTRPG (I have already downloaded via payhip as directed from your website, but its easier to manage my library here). if not, that's cool...just thought I would ask the question.

I got the print version through the kickstarter - so they exist, and they're pretty swish, to boot. standard paperback format, a little bigger than A5 by my guess, 300 pages, nice paper - I'm sure they'll be on sale to the general public soon!

I'm not boasting, promise...

Goddamn it, how did I not know about this until now? I need to get a hard copy, if at all possible.

Is there a hardcopy book available soon? PDFs are nice but I like to be able to physically hold a copy too!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
