Noir World is a new Powered by the Apocalypse game that has just launched on Kickstarter. The game allows you to choose from 20 Roles, creating relationships between them, build a City, and maybe solve a Crime, all while trying to create the best Movie possible.
Noir World is your chance to explore hardboiled and crime fiction and film noir using a combination of Apocalypse World stylings and the vocabulary we've all gained by watching television and movies.
Film noir is all about telling stories where characters who don't neatly fit into the binary of good and evil live with the terrible consequences of their emotionally fueled choices. Noir World reflects that throughout the game.
There are 20 Roles to choose from (noir classics like the Fatale, Private Eye, and the Dirty Cop, but also more neo-noir Roles like the Disgraced Doctor and the Attorney). Taking a big step away from the source material, there are no restrictions or gender, race, identity or orientation when it comes to Roles - make them your own, no matter what.
There are 6 types of Crime: Murder, Blackmail, Fraud, Arson, Kidnapping, and Robbery.
There are 10 Decades to play in: starting in the 1920s and proceeding upwards to the Near-Future.
The Noir World Kickstarter campaign runs until Thursday 20th April
