Versión oscura procedente de otra dimensión de la profesora recién llegada al pueblo.

Dejo por aquí una colección de criaturas y objetos mágicos para pantanos que ha hecho un fan. Lo de tener a una bruja zancuda (Bueno, voladora también podría servir) paseándose por ahí con una linterna mágica es tentador. También hay un enano coleccionista de ojos...

COSAS QUE PUEDEN MOLAR:

- Voy a tirar 1d4 para ver cuanto tarda en reaparecer la niebla, me parece un poco gratuito que ya vuelva en la primera noche en juego. Bah, aparece la segunda noche. ;P

- Al explorar el pantano alguno de los pjs encuentra el colgante de Stella en un barrizal, sirviendo como pista de que hay una realidad alternativa relacionada con lo que está pasando. OPCIONAL: al tratar de cogerlo, algo tira desde el otro lado dando la opción de usar el movimiento Mirar al Abismo, dando una pista de la naturaleza como portal del pantano. EL colgante puede pertenecer al Joseph (Abuelo de Stella) del oro lado, una dimensión en la que Stella no existe.

- El enano comerciante de ojos y la bruja de la linterna (ver stats y desripciones en le link del post anterior) pueden ser encuentros en el pantano. La linterna de la segunda puede tener un número de usos limitado (d4? d6? Movimiento personalizado?) y abrir túneles a través de la niebla o hacia el otro lado. El comerciante puede vender un ojo que permita ver cosas al otro lado, pero este ofrece imágenes random (O movimiento personalizado), ambos objetos mágicos tal vez sea demasiado.

- En el pantano pueden habitar changelings, que es una especie con fama de intercambiar a sus crías por crías humanas, claro que no es lo que está pasando aquí. O puede que los changelings sean la versión oscura de los medianos de otra dimensión, pudiendo encontrarse Sam con algún conocido de su pueblo pero enmascarado, en los pantanos, como un doble malvado. OPCIONAL: Puedo preguntarle a Sam si conoce alguna leyenda sobre el origen de los changelings (si decidimos que existen en su mundo) y ver si realmente fueron parte del pueblo de los medianos en su día.

- Puede aparecer algún mercenario de Ashur proveniente del otro lado, confundiendo a Taddeus, estos serían amorales y más destructivos peor portarían armaduras y espadas similares a los de nuestro mundo.

- Si se opta porque los críos duerman todos juntos y vigilados en la nueva escuela del pueblo, cuando vuelva la niebla, Molla, la profesora, habrá sido sustituida por su doble oscura, y preferirá disimular los sacrificios de los críos como accidentes al tratar de salvarlos de los captores del otro lado, que son contrapartidas de sus familias tratando de salvarles de ella.

Si varias criaturas atacan a la vez, tira el daño más alto de todas ellas y luego añade un +1 por cada monstruo además del primero.

  • Your deed may be mighty, but your publicity needs some work. This person has never heard of you.

Fishing

  • One of the fish you reel in speaks your tongue, and offers you a boon if you will spare its life.
  • You gain a new understanding of a companion that fishes with you – you can rewrite a bond you have with them, or they can rewrite a bond they have with you
  • You attract the attention of a curious and mostly benign creature or spirit.

Love Letter

Un movimiento creado específicamente para un jugador o el grupo con el que se intenta establecer el resultado de alguna acción, proyecto o proceder abordado durante bastante tiempo (Por ejemplo, algo que cueste meses de trabajo). La spersonas implicadas tirarán los 2d6 de rigor y sumarán el bono de la habilidad que parezca más apropiada para su manera de abordar el desafío.
Como es usual, un resultado de 10+ es perfecto, e soluciona el conflicto y se obtiene alguna ventaja adicional, con 7-9 se puede haber logrado el objetivo, pero a cambio de un alto coste, y con 6- se falla o los costes exceden lo conseguido.
También se pueden emplear al inicio de una partida para implicar a los personajes o para introducir a un personaje si lleva tiempo sin participar en la partida.
En ocasiones pueden ofrecer varias posibles opciones negativas para el jugador/grupo. Si sacan 10+ escogen una opción, con 7-9 escogen dos opciones, y con 6- el director escoge dos opciones.

Mind Control

Resist

When you are compelled to act against your will, mark XP if you act as bidden. If you resist, roll +WIS:

• On 10+, you shake off the compulsion and act as you wish;
• On 7-9, choose 1:
  • Stand dazed, fighting for control of your mind
  • Start acting as compelled but stop yourself at the last moment
  • Harm yourself to regain control (1d6 damage, ignores armor)
• On a 6-, you come to your senses having done gods-know-what.

Under The Influence

When you are ensorcelled, beguiled, or charmed, ask the GM to describe what the enchantment would have you do (such as “keep the secret of the Blue Idol,” “please the dryad and earn her affection,” “treat Bargle as a trusted friend and confidant,” or “burn it all down”). Write this directive down, along with as many boxes as the GM says

• 1 box for a weak enchantment
• 3 for a powerful one
• 5 for a truly mighty one).

While you are so enchanted, the GM gains this move:
Compel them to act on their enchantment When you act according to your enchantment, without being compelled to do so, mark XP. Each session, you can mark XP this way only once per box you have drawn (marked or not). When you would act contrary to your enchantment, it compels you to do otherwise. When you resist the compulsion of your enchantment and roll a 10+, mark one of the boxes. If you roll a 6-, add another box. When you mark the last box, you break free.

Navigating The Lower Depths

When navigating the Lower Depths, spend 1 ration per party member and roll + WIS.

• On a 10+, choose 3.

  • You arouse suspicion and lose 1 Cloak.
  • You are spotted but have the drop on them.
  • You stumble on an obstacle you did not expect.

• On a 6-, lose 1 Cloak in addition to whatever the GM says.

When your Cloak reaches 0, the jig is up.

Reaction check

• on 10+, they'll hear you out and choose 2
• on 7-9, they'll hear you out and choose 1

  • You've got their complete attention, for now at least (otherwise, they remain alert)
  • You glean a valuable insight; ask a question from the Discern Realities list at take +1 forward to act on the answer

Read the Fates

Divination can be added to a custom playbook or added as a custom move for anyone with a mundane or magical oracle device and the skill at using it.

During Make Camp, you can spend some time (an hour or two) attempting divination. Ask a question about the most likely fate of a specific person, location or object.  Roll 2d6 + WIS.

• On a 10+, you receive (from the GM) a detailed vision of images, sounds, smells, etc., of the object of your query and can ask 3 additional questions that the GM will answer honestly.  If any unleashed Grim Portents involve the object, that information may be introduced by the GM if it seems relevant.  

• On a 7-9, you are presented with somewhat nebulous and hard to interpret visions of the object of your query and can ask 1 additional question.  
• On a 6-, you are presented a disturbing or unclear vision in addition to any GM move. 

Replacing a Signature Weapon

When you acquire a new weapon to replace your lost signature weapon , Roll +Int

• On 10+ You are able to quickly adapt to this new weapon. It fits you almost as well as your lost Signature Weapon. Choose the new base description, range, and look. Then choose 1 new enhancement from the normal signature list. After your nextMake Camp or Recover move, choose the second enhancement.
• On 7-9: This weapon may be similar, but it's just not the same. Use a d8 damage die until your next "Make Camp" or "Recover" move. This becomes your new Signature Weapon after a few modifications (spend 100 coin in a city with a blacksmith).
• On 6-: This weapon is nothing at all like you are used to. Use a d8 damage die until your next "make camp" or "Recoer" move. This weapon will never become your Signature Weapon. If hunting for a new weapon using the Supply move, treat all 6- as a 7-9

Scouting Ahead

When you go off on your own to explore a dangerous area, tell us how you do it then Roll+:

• DEX if you rely on stealth and agility
• CON if your path is one of hardship and endurance
• CHA if you blend in with the locals

On a 7+, you make it back safely and the GM will describe what you encountered. Then:

  • You were able to sneak something out of there; ask the GM what
  • You made some preparation or created some advantage to exploit upon your return; work out the details with the GM
  • You got away clean: leaving no trace, rousing no suspicion, etc.

Regardless of your choices, answer the GMs questions about what happened out there. On a 6-, mark XP and choose 1 plus anything else the GM does:

• You make it back to the others but with trouble hot on your heels!
• You're missing in action; the details will be revealed late

Seek Out

When you go looking for someone you know, describe them and roll+CHA:

• On 10+, choose 2
• On a 7-9, choose 1
  • You don’t owe them a favor
  • They’re not already in some sort of trouble
  • They don’t have a dangerous secret
• On 6- The GM might wish you’d never found them in the first place.

Serving Notice

When you warn people (NPCs) of an Impending Doom or Grim Portent ...Roll+CHA

• On a 10, they believe you and do what they can to help.
• On a 7-9 pick one:
  • They are hesitant to believe you until there is more evidence.
  • Some panic and do something foolish.
  • The trouble will arrive sooner than any expected.

Strength of Will

When being questioned while under the effects of (the Truthspeak spell, the Grand Inquisitor of Elik the Reaping's gaze, too much booze, etc) roll + CHR and obey the results for the remainder of the conversation.

• 10 + : Your character can say whatever they like.
• 7-9 : Your character cannot directly lie, but can lie by omission or balance their statements to give false impressions.
• 6- : Not only can you not lie, either in spirit or literally, you feel compelled to answer any questions. You also blurt out something ... unfortunate... and true. The GM may 'help' you with coming up with your error.

Tinker

When you go to build or create something never seen before, tell the GM what you are trying to invent and what it does. The GM will give you one or more of the following conditions and costs:

• It requires considerable study
• You need someone else's expertise to see it to completion
• The components are rare and hard to come by
• The components are expensive
• It will take a very long time.
• It will require continuous experimentation. 

Trouble Ahead

When you announce a significantly dangerous ability a potential foe is rumored to have, roll + WIS:

• On 10+, that rumor is probably true; should you ever find that it is, your foreknowledge lets you take +1 when acting in response. Meanwhile, right now the GM will tell you a weakness that foe also has; you take +1 acting on that knowledge, too.
• On 7-9, that rumor is probably correct, but your foreknowledge will let you take +1 if you ever have to act in response.
• On 6-, who knows how reliable that rumor is? Moreover, right now the GM will reveal an unwelcome truth as well as any other action.

Working Together

When you Defy Danger as a group, acting despite the same imminent threat or suffering the same calamity, roughly describe your strategy and you each roll +stat.

• On 10+, you get someone else out of a spot, if you can tell us how.
• On 7-9, you get through just fine
• On 6-, you find yourself in a spot, tell us how you got there; if you roll a 6- and someone else saves you, don’t mark XP.

HOW TO MAKE MOVES

Before we get started there are some things to keep in mind:
 

• Not every move requires a roll. A lot do, or modify another move, but some just let you do something new without any dice involved.
• Adding +1 is perfectly fine. No matter what some people will try to shout this down and tell you to do something else, but they're fucking idiots: sometimes just being plain better at doing something than everyone else makes the most sense.
• Having a defined miss result is also perfectly fine. This is another one I've seen people complain about, but as with a +1 sometimes it just makes sense to have a preset miss result. If it makes you feel better, append "in addition to whatever else the GM says" to your miss result. Even if you don't want to include one, some possible examples for GMs to use can't hurt.
• Opening up a 12+ option is also perfectly fine. Yet another thing I've seen a couple people whine about. This isn't Apocalypse World, but--for better or worse--a Dungeons & Dragons hack, so creating a few "crit" options is okay in my book (and the book creates a precedence).

Types of Moves

Here's a rundown of the various types of moves:

NO ROLL
These moves have no roll, they just constantly do/enable something, or have an effect that takes place whenever the fictional criteria is met. Their "mechanical" effect or impact depends on how easy they are to trigger, if they even require a trigger at all; the fighter's Armored just lets you ignore the clumsy tag when wearing armor; the thief's Halfling move lets you deal +2 damage, but only with ranged weapons; and the paladin's Setup Strike grants a +1d4 damage bonus to an ally, but only after you hack and slash.

Other examples include Make Camp, almost every race move, the bard's A Port in the Storm, the paladin's Quest and Smite, the ranger's Wild Empathy, the thief's Flexible Morals, and the wizard's Ritual.

MOVE MODIFIER
These modify an existing move, whether it's a Basic, Special, a Starting Move from their class, or an Advanced Move from their class. Generally they fictionally represent that you're more reliable or outright better at that sort of thing. There are several ways to represent this.

The first is to grant some kind of bonus when you do something specific or in certain situations: you could tack on a +1, have a miss count as a 7-9, a 7-9 count as a 10+, or even just make it so that you always get a 10+.

The fighter's Hafling move lets you take +1 when defying danger, but only when your size matters; the cleric's The Scales of Life and Death lets everyone near you take +1 when taking their last breath; and the ranger's Elf has you automatically succeed with a 10+ whenever you undertake a perilous journey through the wilderness.

The important thing is that the trigger is more specific, requires some sort of preceding event, or could affect something afterwards. Like, a move that gives you a +1 forward to hack and slash (Press the Attack), but only when you miss, or a move that lets your hack and slash be an automatic 10+ (Heedless Assault), but the next time you take damage you take +1d6.

Another way to handle it is to change what a 10+, 7-9, and miss means. For example, the paladin's Staunch Defender lets you hold +1 when you use defend, and on a miss you still get 1 (normally you get jack and shit). Similarly the thief's Extremely Cautious, among other things, lets you hold +1 when you use Trap Expert, even on a miss.

Finally, you can open up a 12+ option. These aren't too common, but again many of the classes have at least one so there's a precedent.

The cleric's Greater Empower let's you choose an empowering effect for free (normally it needs a 10+, and bumps it down to a 7-9), fighter's Superior Warrior lets you impress, dismay, or frighten an enemy when you hack and slash, the paladin's Impervious Defender makes it so that the nearest attacker gives you a clear advantage, the ranger's Hunter's Prey lets you ask a question about a monster, the thief's Evasion lets you transcend danger, and the wizard's Highly Logical lets you ask any three questions you want.

Something I've done, but that I don't see in Dungeon World, is opening up new options like allowing you to ask different questions with Discern Realities, spend hold from Defend to do something else, or add more effects to the bard's Arcane Art.

ROLL-AND-RESULT
Probably for simplicity reasons these moves are more common than roll-and-hold, but less so than move-modifiers. Given that they are self-contained blocks of rules, they tend to be some of the most complex moves to design and deal with: you make a roll, usually add a stat (or at least some circumstantial modifiers), with a 10+, 7-9, and (sometimes) a miss giving you different results.

This can mean absolute effects, like dealing damage and having your opponent attack you (Hack and Slash), or have you make one or more choices from a list (Volley, the wizard's Cast a Spell, the thief's Backstab). Note that if a move does have you make choices, they can include both good and bad options (and often will), potentially forcing the player to choose what they have to deal with.

There are plenty of examples of this in the book: just crack open the Basic Moves, Special Moves, or flip to any class. If you want an example of a move that uses circumstantial modifiers, check out Recruit.

ROLL-AND-HOLD
You make a roll, and hold a variable amount of points depending on how well you roll. Like a roll-and-result move these are self-contained blocks of rules, but where they fictionally differ from roll-and-hold is that the results don't just happen immediately: you instead gain a kind of currency that you can spend on various effects or abilities over a period of time.

From a fictional perspective imagine someone gathering strength or energy (the druid's Shapeshifter), preparing for something (the Bolster basic move), or doing/sustaining something over a period of time (Defend or the thief's Trap Expert).

From a mechanics perspective, roll-and-results do one thing per roll: you hit a monster and deal damage, you avoid an attack, you cast a spell and it does it's thing, or make a deal with someone and they give you or do what you want.

With a roll-and-hold you might be able to do several things per roll: conjure blades of force that you can use to stick someone that gets to close, notice folds in reality that allow you to instantly dart about to evade danger, gradually expel magical energy to create several effects, or wriggle your way into someone's mind, forcing them to obey you for a short period of time.
 

Make Your Move

So now that you know the types of moves and generally what they're for, it's time to think about your move without considering mechanics at all. Instead, start by imagining how it works from a purely fictional perspective, envisioning as many outcomes—the good and the bad—as you can.

Example: In Melissa's upcoming, as of yet unnamed adventure, she wants a move for when the characters travel through a forest filled with strange animals and fey creatures. The wood seems to twist and change as you walk, with the rare paths never winding the same way twice. Sibilant whispers and songs can be heard, and scintillating lights and dancing shadows can be seen between distant trees and at the edge of your vision.

Usually people eventually make it through the forest, though they don't seem to recall the entire journey, and the amount of time it takes always seems to change. Often fey creatures will play pranks on travelers, and while most are relatively harmless (physically, anyway), there are more malicious denizens that don't seem to understand—or care—about their victims.

There's already a move that tackles traveling through dangerous regions: Undertake a Perilous Journey. The trigger is when you travel through hostile territory, which seems to fit the forest perfectly. The problem is that this isn't just any forest: people rarely exit the same place twice, and the amount of time it can take is anyone's guess.

So right now we're looking at a move-modifier. A blanket -1 would reduce the overall chance of success across the board, which works, but the thing is that no one makes it out when or where they think they should. Plus, there's no shortage of creatures willing to disorient, harm, and hinder their progress. A simple way to emphasize that is to cap results at a 7-9, and with those two tweaks here's the final move:

When you undertake a perilous journey through the forest, take -1 and a 10+ counts as a 7-9.

Potential miss effects include having the characters lose their belongings (whether stolen, vandalized, or traded), have their food spoil, suffer from some kind of curse, owe someone a favor for guiding them out, have their hair shaved off, be addicted to strange mushrooms that they had to eat to survive, and so on.

For another example let's take a look at my Expedition to Castle Ravenloft conversion. Early on when you arrive in the village of Barovia (not sure if that's the name of the village, or if it's just "the village" in Barovia), you run into zombies. But these aren't just any zombies; no, they're plague zombies. Think typical zombie movies, where you get bit, eventually die, and later rise as another zombie.

Now I don't want the characters to slowly die because they get bit once, especially with my group, where miss XP accounts for like half of everything they get. I also don't want the characters to have to roll twice for certain attacks. Think about it: you roll to defy danger, get bit, and then have to make another roll to resist plague. Or you roll to hack and slash, get bit, then have to roll to resist. That's just gonna bog the game down.

Ideally I want something that doesn't need a roll, something that emphasizes that these guys are more dangerous than your average zombie, but without making them too lethal. This is what I came up with:

When you are bitten by a plague zombie, hold 1 plague. Reduce your maximum hit points by the amount of plague you hold.

I could have gone with gaining 1d4 plague, but since plague cannot be recovered by typical items I think that's just way too goddamn much, especially for the 1st-level crowd; 1 plague still adds something, and the more bites you rack up the lower your hit point ceiling gets. This is simple, easy to track, and better emphasizes the danger of these zombies. But, how do you get rid of plague? Whelp, that's where this move comes in:

When you make camp and have plague, roll+CON. ✴On a 10+, reduce your plague by 1d4. ✴On a 7-9, reduce your plague by 1. ✴On a miss, increase your plague by 1.

I kind of cribbed this from the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons disease mechanic, where you make an Endurance check after every long rest to see if you recover or get worse when you're sick. I've used it for fungus zombies in Something Stirs in the Blackscale Brakes, and suffering statues from If These Stones Could Scream to great effect.

Finally, something from There Was a Method to Her Madness. For a variety of reasons I wanted a move for when you encounter a lone prisoner and try to get them to help you out.

At a glance Parley seems like a good start, as leverage could mean simply not killing them, trying to get their sentence reduced later by speaking on their behalf, letting them go free, and/or just staying out of their way. The problem for me is that results just feel too "safe" for my taste: on a 10+ they'll do what you ask if you merely promise to do what they want you to, and on a 7-9 they'll do what you want if they get some concrete assurance.

I think Parley would work if you just want the prisoner to stand down or leave, but if you want them to help you out—or they just can't go anywhere else—then I think the player should be wondering if/when/how this guy is going to betray them. He is after all a criminal: Will he shank you and leave you to die, especially to save his own skin; If you run into other criminals will they be able to convince him that he should be on "their" side; Will he just abandon you when the going gets tough or you let your guard down?

Here's the roll-and-result I have so far:

When you try to convince a prisoner to listen to reason, roll+CHA. ✴On a 10+, choose 3. ✴On a 7-9, choose 2. ✴On a miss, choose 1 in addition to whatever else the GM tells you.

• The prisoner helps you to the best of his ability.
• The prisoner won't harm you when an opportunity presents itself.
• The prisoner won't be swayed by his fellow inmates to abandon or betray you.
• The prisoner won't flee.

Los tres héroes, tras volver de la niebla junto con aquellos que habían ido tras ellos hasta su siniestro corazón y los niños supervivientes, fueron recibidos con una alegría inusitada en aquellas gentes. Las madres corrieron a resguardar a sus pequeños entre sus brazos, jurando que nunca volverían a soltarlos, mientras se abrían las puertas que habían retenido sus lágrimas de felicidad mientras estas habían sido desterradas por las de pesar.

Zorn cruzó miradas con lo tres héroes, como disculpándose por haberse mostrado como un animal ante ellos, mientras su piel tomaba el sanguíneo color de la emoción, con su pequeño casi asfixiado entre sus descomunales brazos.

Molla, que seguía velando por los pequeños que habían quedado atrás y los heridos, corrió hacia Alek y sus compañeros tan pronto como los vio emerger de las tinieblas humeantes del portal, pero quedó por detrás del emocionado Colmillo, que no solo parecía haberse recuperado, aun teniendo el lomo vendado, sino que además mostraba una clara mirada de orgullo y felicidad por volver a reunirse con su compañero de manada, una manada de dos.

La joven profesora se dirigió a todos para comentarles que el alcalde había sucumbido al daño y las emociones previas a su caída por el portal abierto por su falsa doble. Ewant y el resto de sus familiares lloraban al caído. Posiblemente, aquel Niomense sería el nuevo guía de aquellas gentes, al menos hasta que decidiesen quién podría sustituir al antiguo alcalde.

Acto seguido, la mujer se plantó ante Alek y le plantó una buena bofetada en el rostro, mientras sus ojos también se vertían sobre sus sonrojadas mejillas.

- Si... Si estoy cerca de ti cuando algo así vuelva a pasar, QUE NUNCA SE TE OCURRA DEJARME ATRÁS.- Le espetó, entre dolida, nerviosa y emocionada. Estaba claro que era una mujer dura que realmente sentía lo que estaba diciendo, le dolía no haber podido ir con ellos al otro lado, a ayudar, no costaba imaginarla, daga o espada en ristre, siendo capaz de enfrentarse a aquella doble maligna que por motivos todavía no demasiado claros había tratado de privar a Niom de sus jóvenes.
