So Say We All!
Welcome to Apocalypse Galactica, a Battlestar Galactica Hack of Apocalypse World. Watching the show filled me with a sense of awe at their constant desperation and refusal to surrender to forces they could not possibly combat. That was the world I wanted to play in!
Apocalypse Galactica is a work in progress hack that includes playbooks, a few rules changes, and two scenarios to get you started playing humans on the edge of extinction…or the cylons hunting them! To Play Apocalypse Galactica you need Apocalypse World, by D. Vincent Baker.

The best adaptation of Apocalyspe World. So say we all!
Got to play Apocalypse Galactica with a G+ Hangout group, and had a blast doing so – we’re definitely going to play again.
As a side note, I can’t help but notice your banners read “Desgin Blog” instead of “Design Blog”…
And how did I not notice that before? Wow. I’ll fix it as soon as I get home to my photoshop.
More importantly though, awesome. You guys have totally inspired me to get back to completing my revisions of the playbooks. You rock.
