THE SKINNER
Introducing
Even in the filth of Apocalypse World, there's food that isn't death on a spit, music that isn't shrieking hyenas, thoughts that aren't afraid, bodies that aren't used meat, sex that isn't rutting, dancing that's real. There are moments that are more than stench, smoke, rage, and blood.
Anything beautiful left in this ugly ass world, skinners hold it. Will they share it with you? What do you offer them?

GEAR

HX
Everyone introduces their characters by name, look, and outlook. Take your turn. List the other characters's names.
Go around again for Hx. On your turn, choose 1, 2, or all 3:
Tell everyone else Hx=0.
On the other characters's turns, whatever number they tell you, give it −1 or +1 and write that next to the character's name. Your choice for each.
At the end, find the character with the highest Hx on your sheet. Ask that player which of your stats is most interesting, and highlight it. The MC will name another stat for you to highlight too.

If you're charging someone wealthy for your services, 1‑barter is the going rate for: one night's intimate companionship; an evening's or a weekend's entertainment for a group (without touching); a month's casual employment as an enlivening presence.
