I’ve got a gap of time in my A|State game on Twitch.tv/actualplay. Holidays often wreck game schedules in this way. We’re getting the block back together Sunday to resume playing. Apocalypse World 1E introduced the term ‘Love Letters’ as a way to frame (or re-frame) the status of things in your game. Folks have expanded Love Letters to tackle all sorts of things since then. This is how I will get my A|State troublemakers back on the status quo grind and under the boot of the State.🥾

Ah, Jandan, Jandan, Jandan

Neve’s right-hand counselor is missing. She was looking into the finances you asked her to. That shooter kid is missing too, but he might have just fled.🤷🏾‍♂️

Rome’s looking good these days, though. He’s shaking hands, kissing babies, and winking at you. Ask me one question and I promise not to lie.

P.S. Panther’s Clock is full. 😼 You remember Panther? The chrome bro that choked you out?

S’funny where information comes from. Like just the other day in the market tunnels, you heard some wrench-mutts talking shop about tools, dingins, and Muriel. Like in doing tech work on contract - did you eavesdrop? did you follow these wrench-mutts as they walked off talking? Or were you paying more attention to the talk about Martel and the Softwalkers skirting the terms of the block’s cease-fire? How’d that go? We might need to see your dice! 🎲🎲

Dear Rory, finder of things that are lost 🕵🏻‍♂️

How are those late-night meets with Seven been going? It’s like three or four meets now, yeah? He’s been on the money about that cache he wants to find, though he didn’t mention the owners being all murdered up. Oops!

So you doing this deal or what? I think it’s Seven’s own gig, and the Daylight gang doesn’t know. Do you know what’s in the cache?
Did you know Haney, his sister, has been spying on these meetings? Does she know you know she’s spying?

I don’t know, Rory; I’d feel better about all this if there were some dice on the table.

Tons of loves and hugs❤️

P.S.

I could deliver these individually to the players, but I know from experience that if I give these notes to all three players, so all the players can see everyone’s notes - we can all play into the fiction. No Secrets. I trust players can keep the distance between player knowledge and character knowledge.
