* HouseRules: The system is notably designed to be hacked into other games and settings. Oddly enough, there are no less than three published hacks (including one by the designer) for UrbanFantasy games.

Added DiffLines:

* UniquenessRule: This game and most games UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse have a rule that stipulates that only one copy of a playbook can be in the game at any time. This is justified by a form of enforced CastSpeciation, where a player with the Hardholder playbook is not ''a'' Hardholder but ''the'' Hardholder in the context of the story.

* TheApunkalypse: Befitting to its name, ''Apocalypse World'' centers around sexy, edgy, and awesome survivors braving a horrific but cool post-apocalyptic world. The principle "Barf forth apocalyptica" encapsulates the aesthetic.

Added DiffLines:

* RolePlayingEndgame: Players can retire their characters to safety as a special Advanced Upgrade. A retired PC becomes an NPC, but unlike almost all others, the GameMaster is explicitly forbidden from messing with their lives (i.e. they get PlotArmor for their trouble). The game encourages players to retire long-lived characters with the debility mechanic, which imposes permanent penalties on their stats every time they're critically injured, -- accruing too many of them makes characters largely unplayable.

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Cool and Sharp both have this reputation. The other three stats apply to fairly specific situations (Hard is for hurting or threatening people, Hot is for persuading people, and Weird is for going on bizarre psychic dream-quests), while Sharp gives you bonuses to any other roll as long follow the MC's advice, and Cool is for almost EVERYTHING else.

* PlotArmor: The "looking through the crosshairs" principle the MC is required to follow generally means that any NPC may be offed with no build-up at any time. There are two exceptions to this, however: a PC who has been retired to safety via an advanced improvement and an NPC who has been turned into an ally via a 12+ roll on the advanced Seduce or Manipulate move. They are (mostly) safe from the MC's capriciousness.
