It is winter in Turnpike, a lonely holding surrounded by miles of mostly unpopulated land. A cold wind blows through the land, and seems to bring trouble with it. The Hardholder is dead. Supplies are short. A new plague is tearing through the holding. And now, a small army of newcomers has made camp outside the holding. What do they want? Can the new Hardholder keep things together? Will Turnpike still be here when Spring comes?
The game uses Apocalypse World, the original PBTA game, in its new 2nd edition incarnation. You’ll choose your playbook in advance and do a bit of worldbuilding over email, before playing through two sessions of mayhem.
