Apocalypse World: Burned Over Hackbook
A downloadable game
Updated November 2025
We've developed Apocalypse World: Burned Over into a stand-alone game and are approaching publishing it. It's changed considerably from the version available here.
Updated September 2021
Apocalypse World: Burned Over is a pretty deep redesign of Apocalypse World, suitable for play across wider age groups and more general audiences. No sex moves, a more reigned-in take on violence, less adult horror in the grotesquerie. In many ways, if we were to create Apocalypse World today, Burned Over is the game we’d create.
It’s not yet a stand-alone game (although it may become one in time). It’s a “hackbook”: a zine that includes all the playbooks, playsheets, and rule changes from Apocalypse World proper.
It includes everything the players need to play, but as MC, you’ll still need the Apocalypse World MC book.

You guys are developing the 3rd edition after all. Best of luck with the development, Mr. and Mrs. Baker! I'm really looking forward to it!
Will you still develop Apocalypse World 3e, Mr and Mrs Baker?
