[AW] Question about healing
lumpley:
Please do!
Shameless self-promotion aside, you can get a pretty good sense for the system by looking at the character playbooks at http://apocalypse-world.com .

@RPL, your response was just what I was looking for. I see the 1 week and 24 hr options playing out pretty much the same way you ultimately chose to resolve the move.
I'd turn to the other players and say "Your go to guy is down for the count, possibly dying. There's this freaky dude with the gas mask. What are you planning to do without him?" Anything they said that sowed more chaos and fucked with the hardholder, I would just allow to happen.
Then I'd turn to the hardholder and say "It's a week later. You come finally come awake with a massive headache, utterly exhausted." And then I'd go from there. His girl's gone, or his gang's in revolt, or the Chopper has set himself up as the Man, whatever. "What do you do?"
Cuz, harm.

What I wouldn't do is leave the player sitting there for a long period of time while the others played without him. Cuz, boring.
RPL:
Thanks for all the replies :)
I can see we’re all on the same page her. But I think James wrote my question better than I did.

How do I do this exactly? I mean, he’s going to have to sit there (this situation could happen at the beginning, middle or end of a session), unless I schedule a session without him, or do I have to make a more a tight screen time management for the other players actions? Because a lot of things can happen in 24h, even more in a week, between my prep and the players own agendas.
How would you (you = everyone) manage that time frame in order keep things happening but not letting that player out in the wind.
I know this is not a linear QA thing, but if I could get your personal experience on this it would really help.
Thanks.
All the best,
D.

If no important things are going on, just skip a week. Do a couple love-and-kisses letters, ask people what they did over the course of the week, and let the Operator work her jobs. Maybe advance one of your fronts' countdowns.
