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.

got it thanks!!

sweeeet, thanks!
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.
Looks great!
Thanks! And good luck with the project.
Excellent! Thanks very much!
Got it.
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!

Hey, Adam, I’ll email you a copy. Do you get an error message or anything?
DLed !! Thx
I still haven’t played Apocalypse World, but I can’t wait to and this is a nice addition! Thank you.
Got the AW file. Thanks! Looking forward to Human Contact.
@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.
I believe Vincent answers that over on the forum.
I believe Vincent said 2-armor, elsewhere.
Thanks Josh! (and Vincent too!)
Totally appreciate the bennie, Joshua, thanks!
Got it. Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the finished HC.
Hi
great stuff, and a good bonus to an already sufficient cause : the mindblowing Human Contact.
Awesome
Neat! Thanks, Josh!
Hi Joshua! Thanks!
See you in Lucca!
Neato! My Chrome (7.0.544.0 dev) downloaded and displayed it just fine.
Yeah, it doesn’t like chrome, but I pulled it up just fine in IE and saved it. Good times!
-Ben.
Ooh, I like it. Not something that I’d toss in for every game, but for some games? Totally rocking.
Mmmmnnnnnn… Can’t wait to play it! (oh, yeah, quarantine too…)
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.
Awesome! I hope you had a good time!
Got it. Cool.
Got it – thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing the final version of Human Contact!
Just grabbed it and read through – looks great, and I can’t wait to give him a shot! Thanks!
Thanks for the perk. Looking forward to the final game.
Hi, thanks for the added value for another great game!
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.
Oh, yeah! This really is a bonus you’ve gotta love!
Got it, thanks! Looking forward to Human Contact.
Oooh, bonus! Playing in an AW game at the moment, this might come in handy!
Thanks, V&J
Downloaded successfully. Very nice!
Nice! That said, I don’t think I’ll use it. I kind of like the wastes w/o a link to the past.
Thanks, Joshua. Have a great time in Lucca. It’s magical.
This rocks.
Thank you! “Newker” stuff is always welcome!
Got it! Thanks — I wasn’t expecting this, and it’s a nice little bonus.
Got it, thank you very much!
I am me.
Got it! Thanks! Have a good time in Lucca!
Neat, what a nice treat. But as a card-carrying anthropologist, I am *really* looking forward to Human Contact.
Got the Quarantine file. Very much looking forward to Human Contact when it arrives as well. Cheers
unexpected bonus, many thanks !
Sweetness – this playbook would surely shake up any AW game.
Looking forward to HC!
Excellent! Thanks Joshua & Vincent!
It is lovely, but now I have to maneuver one of my two AW games to include one…
Pretty neat playbook!
Looking forward to Human Contact.
Congratulations on reaching double your goal!
Thanks to Joshua and Vincent for the playbook. Now quit reading the comments and get back to work.
Thanks! Looking forward to Human Contact. The Quarantine lets me have a little of the Morrow Project flavor in my AW! Sweet.
Thanks so much! As a fan of Shock, can’t wait for your HC!!
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.
Thanks much! Can’t wait for Human Contact.
P.
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.

Downloaded and appreciated. Apocalypse World looks pretty cool, as does Human Contact.
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.
Got it.
Thanks, Declan
Cheers. I’ve been super stoked about Apocalypse World ever since I bought it, and now I’m super stoked about Shock – Human Contact as well!
Got it. This is what convinced me to pay for Shock: Human Contact now instead of later.
Thanks!
Cool! Like Adams Tower, this is also what convinced me to pay for Shock: Human Contact now instead of later.
This all looks wonderful. Can’t wait to see it.
Got it. Looks like great fun. Thanks.
Got it.
Thanks!
Thanks Joshua!
Much appreciated. I eagerly await seeing it in action.
Cool. =)
