Quarantine

It’s possible

when the Golden Age of Legend fell, that no one saw it coming. Maybe it came upon them unprepared and unsuspecting. Maybe they, like we, were simply fucked.

It’s also possible that they knew.

The Quarantine is a character playbook for by Vincent Baker for his game Apocalypse World. It’s available exclusively to backers of Shock:Human Contact, now on Kickstarter.

Download the Quarantine and hope that he can help.

    Very good Cross selling Joshua :-)
    I am looking forward to Human Contact. I must admit, that I only own Shock but never played it. Something I hope to rectify with Human Contact.

    Sweet! This just makes me want to play AW even more. I picked it up at Gen Con, and I didn’t notice until about two weeks ago that there was a nice little bonus in the character sheet pack I bought from Vincent.

    Thanks

    Can’t seem to get it to download. Dropbox doesn’t like Chrome, it seems!

    Fantastic! Can’t wait to nose through this. Awesome to see the new stuff folks are doing!

    @joshua re: Chrome – it just pulled up a blank page (so, probably didn’t load the PDF beyond opening the adobe plugin).

    Firefox grabbed it just fine, though.

    Hey Joshua–is the milspec body armor supposed to be 2-armor or 3-armor?

    Looks great!

    Hey, just downloaded, looking through now.

  18. Posted October 19, 2010 at 4:05 pm | Permalink

    I believe Vincent answers that over on the forum.

    I believe Vincent said 2-armor, elsewhere.

    Thanks Josh! (and Vincent too!)

    Neato! My Chrome (7.0.544.0 dev) downloaded and displayed it just fine.

  27. Posted October 19, 2010 at 4:50 pm | Permalink

    Yeah, it doesn’t like chrome, but I pulled it up just fine in IE and saved it. Good times!

    Got it! EggDropSoap, aka The Seven-Sided Die in places like Twitter and StackExchange.

    I met my current Apocalypse World MC while playing Shock at GoPlay NW, so this is nicely appropriate.

    Downloaded, thanks! I’ll read it as soon as possible, maybe someone will use it in the (I hope) forthcoming game.
    See you at Lucca.

  38. Posted October 19, 2010 at 6:52 pm | Permalink

    Oh, yeah! This really is a bonus you’ve gotta love!

    Got it, very cool. Also it’s awesome of Barker to do this for/with you. I can’t speak for anyone else, but the mention of a new playbook for Apocalypse World is what initially got my attention on rpg.net. The Kickstarter page itself sold me.

    This fits right in my current game, and I’ve always been interested in Shock, but never got it, so this seems a cool combo.

    Thanks!

    Nice extra. In addition to backing you, I may just be convinced to buy AW, as well.

    Very much looking forward to S:HC.

    Thanks! As a long-time Shock fan, I’m really looking forward to Human Contact — and as a long-time Vincent Baker fan, this is a great idea for a cross-promotion.
