Episode 121: Character Arcs (Narrative Techniques)

Bonus AP: Apocalypse World Part 4
Players: Joe, Megan, Timo, Todd The continuing saga of the crew of the Leviathan as they do very bad things to each other.

Episode 117: Flashbacks (Narrative Techniques)
We’re starting a new series exploring how narrative techniques used in different forms of media apply to gaming: The good, the bad, the ugly, and the stir-fried. We set it off by talking about a thing that we used during our Apocalypse World actual play: flashbacks. We talk about how they have worked for our games, and what we like and dislike about it.

Actual Play: Apocalypse World – The Leviathan
We’re currently playing a game of Apocalypse world set on a zeppelin called “The Leviathan,” travelling between locations in an Empire recently risen to power by exploiting the psychic powers of brainers, all under an endless cloud-cover sky. This is the third session of that game, showing the rescue of a crew member from the clutches of the Empire and the aftermath.
