On a 6-, the MC chooses as 7-9, but be prepared for
the worst.

the questions:

• Do you have help or specialized equipment?
On a 10+, you can ask three of the following ques-
tions. On a 7-9, ask two. On a 6-, ask one and be
prepared for the worst.

eryone present erases 1 Stress.
 Be Prepared
When you encounter something that you might have
prepared for, roll with the questions.
Do you know someone that could have helped?
Did you have adequate access to what you need?
On a 10+, you got the item you need or you did the
legwork. On a 7-9, you got the item or did the leg-
work, but mark 1 Stress. On a 6-, you got the item
or did the legwork and mark 1 Stress, but the situa-
tion isn’t as simple as it seemed.
Welcome Wagon
When you look into a culture on first entering a new
area, roll with the questions:
• Does your reputation precede you?
• Do you know and follow the cultural mores?
On a 10+, ask two. On a 7-9, ask one. On a 6-, ask
one but be prepared for the worst.
• Who is in control here?
• Who is the greatest threat?
• Who here would be excited to meet or receive
me?
• What is expected of me?
Throw Your Weight Around
When you demand something you think you de-
serve, erase Experience and roll +Experience erased
(max +2). On a 10+, you get what you asked for.
On a 7-9, you get most of what you asked for or
something similar. On a 6-, you might get what you
asked for, but your reputation is at stake or some-
one has taken offense.
Give Yourself Up
to the Will of Fate
When you only have 1 Stress unmarked and you turn
to the unseen fates for advice, ask the other players
what they think you should do. When you pursue
what one of them recommends, erase 1 Stress and
take +1 to the next roll in that pursuit.
TRACK MOVES
Exhausted
When your Stress track fills, you fall unconscious or
become otherwise unable to act until you’re healed
or until a new scene or day; erase all Stress and
mark one of the options below.
⏩ Treat your next roll as a 6-.
⏩ Gain the question, “Am I motivated by my brush
with death?”
⏩ Declare your undying love for someone.
⏩ Become scarred; add a personal tag.
⏩ Learn from your troubles; gain a new move.
⏩ You’re changed; erase a personal tag and choose
a new one.

ferent random move.
⏩ You owe a supernatural force or powerful organi-
zation for your return.

ture.

one:

• Abase yourself, gaining forgiveness from some-
one you have wronged.
CHOSEN MOVES — pick two to start with
Compatriots
Actively Loving Parent(s)
You have one or more parents that are
alive; they love you, and they communicate
with you regularly. When you can spend 24
peaceful hours with them, heal 1d6 Stress,
and your allies present can heal 1 Stress.
Once a session, you can ask them one
question from Give Yourself Up to the Will
of Fate; the GM will answer from the point
of view of your parents.
Parent Name(s):
__________________________________

Parent Look(s):

__________________________________
__________________________________
Duck soul
The lightest part of a duck’s spirit, the bit
which sheds ghostly feathers that rise to
mallard heaven, has cooled and collected
around you. It’s simultaneously airy and
moist, making it adept at dodging blows,
striking quickly, and boiling its passions at
celebratory bonfires.
When you use the duck soul’s intuition to
dodge a weapon strike, tell the GM to se-
cretly set a single die to one of its faces. Do
the same; if you picked the same number
as the GM, you mark no Stress.
Add a new option to your Exhausted move:
⏩ Erase all Experience and black out; you
awaken at the last bonfire you rested at. If
you reach the spot you died at, regain the
Experience you erased.
BLUE MERCHANT CONTRACT
You have an ongoing arrangement with tall,
blue-skinned merchants that live just side-
ways of the places we know. When you need
a rare object or dangerous contraband and
have time to draw up a contract, one of the
merchants will step forth to help. Choose
up to 3 from the list below and roll with the
number of options marked.
• Give over a valuable object.
• Reveal a secret to the merchant; mark
2 Stress.
• Channel magical energy to the mer-
chant; mark 2 Hex.
• Lose a memory to the merchant; erase
1 Experience.
• Wear a sigil of the merchant (patch,
sandwich board, etc); erase 2 Reputa-
tion.
• Sacrifice future possibilities; make your
next roll at -1 instead of rolling with the
questions.
• Give over your heart; you are in love
with the merchant.
On a 10+, you get the object you need. On
a 7-9, choose 1:
• The object is a loan and must be returned
in the same condition else you anger the
merchants.
• The object is an artful counterfeit that will
stand up to casual observation but will
be discovered as a fake in 1d6 weeks.
• The object is infested with a spiritual
parasite that collects and distributes the
stories of your soul. PCs near the object
must mark 1 Hex whenever they roll or
else treat that roll as a 6-; NPCs get sick
and sad.
On a 6-, be prepared for the worst, such as
a dangerous quest from the merchants.
Merchant names: Kreg, Grigg, Brugh,
Gredd, Droob, etc.
 Double-bodied
You are two people who, for some reason,
can’t be seen together. Choose one:
⏩ Crime twins.
⏩ Students of the same murdered master.
⏩ Forbidden lovers.
⏩ Magical doppelgangers.
⏩ Split in two by a curse.
You are functionally interchangeable, with
the same skills and knowledge. Add the fol-
lowing to your Exhausted track:
⏩ Your other self dies or disappears; lose
the Double-Bodied move.
When you want to be somewhere that would
be inconvenient or impossible for you to be
at (if you are trapped, immobilized, or oth-
erwise inconvenienced, for instance), roll
with the questions:
• Did you leave a message as to where
you’d like to be?
• Is your other self nearby or able to travel
quickly?
On a 10+, you show up despite your incon-
venience and have the advantage of sur-
prise. On a 7-9, you show up but bring new
trouble. On a 6-, be prepared for the worst;
perhaps your other self is in ironically simi-
lar trouble.
“Horse”
You have a loyal mount. It starts a simple
beast that can run at a decent clip. When
your Experience track is full, you can choose
to erase it to grant your mount the following
abilities. They must be gained in order.
⏩ It can attack. Describe how.
⏩ It can talk. Is it to everyone, or only to
you?
⏩ It gains chitinous armor, reducing the
damage it takes by 1.
⏩ It can run across water.
⏩ It can walk on walls and ceilings.
⏩ It can fly. Describe its means of locomo-
tion.
Grandma’s ghost
You are a vessel for your grandmother’s
spirit. Your grandma was a:
⏩ Troll.
⏩ Witch.
⏩ Pirate.
⏩ Pugilist.
⏩ Something else: ___________________
When you take this move, choose an addi-
tional move that your grandma has. Assign
her a separate goal. When your Hex meter
fills or when you roll a 6-, your grandma
might take over. She can use Default Moves
and her moves. You can spend Experience
to teach her moves.
She’ll relinquish control only after she:
⏩ Teaches you humility.
⏩ Helps you find love.
⏩ Gains vengeance on her enemies.
⏩ Eats her favorite food.
⏩ Work with the other players to write your
own: ______________________________
Add the following to your Exhausted list:
⏩ Your grandma is taken by ghost hunters
or spirit merchants and must be rescued.
⏩ Your grandma moves on from you; why?
Lose the Grandma’s Ghost move.
Talk with your GM and fellow players about
violence toward animals. Can your mount
be attacked? (If not, it probably shouldn’t
attack, in which case you can skip that ad-
vancement above.) Can it be otherwise men-
aced or endangered?
Name: _____________________________

 New Friend
When you turn an acquaintance into an ally,
you can choose to lose this move and gain
a Cohort move. This cohort has a skill, such
as blacksmithing, cartography, translation,
or singing; when the cohort is with you and
their skill would help with a move you roll,
you can add +1 (max +2) to that roll.
Your cohort is working on a project that will
eventually be useful to you and the cohort.
When you trigger the Advancement move,
you can choose to fill a segment of the clock
instead of the listed advancements. Work
with the rest of the table to decide what
happens once the project is completed.
Your cohort will probably have at least one
need, such as money, food, affection, or re-
sources. If the need goes too long unful-
filled (such as if the cohort is involved in
a roll of 6-), you won’t be able to get help
from them or advance their project.
Name: ____________________________
Skill: ______________________________
Wants: ____________________________
Longterm project: __________________
Porter
You start with 2 points to spend on how
you store and transport things. The options
tagged as NPC should be given names; they
can’t be killed or have gory violence inflicted
upon them, but they might be captured, be
chased off, or require payment or promises
from you in dire situations.
You can spend a full Experience to gain 2
more points; you can also “turn in” your
previous choices and spend those points on
something else. What happens to the things
and people you turn in?
⏩ mule (1 point, compatriot, mobile)
⏩ cart (1 point, mobile, encumbering)
⏩ ergonomic & complicated heap of back-
packs, baskets, etc (1 point, personal)
⏩ sled (1 point, mobile, encumbering)
⏩ dogs (1 point, compatriot, mobile)
⏩ unpickable lock (1 point, add the secure
tag to any non-compatriot option)
⏩ extended family (2 points, compatriot,
mobile, demanding)
⏩ hidden vault (3 points, secret, storage)
⏩ foldable pocket dimension (3 points, dis-
creet, personal)
⏩ walking statue (3 points, mobile, combat-
ready, compatriot?)
When you reach into your storage to retrieve
an object you need that you could conceiv-
ably have, roll with the questions:
• Is it cheap, common, or easy to find?
• Have you put money into the right
hands?
On a 10+, it’s there. On a 7-9, you grab
something that could potentially be useful
but not in the way you intended.

 Stoned Investigator
Your friend is between 3 and 4 feet high,
always has a pipe to share, and spends their
free time pursuing mysteries and conspira-
cies.

Names: Rongo, Lumbo, Frogoo, Burk, Mal-

lah, Doc, Furry, One-More-Thing
Look: hobbitish, goblinish, gnomish, ani-
malian

When you smoke and talk with your friend

in order to mull over a problem you have,
roll with the questions:
• Did you bring a gift?
• Is the problem uniquely intriguing?

Instead of or in addition to rolling with the

questions, you can erase an Experience to
add 1 to the roll (max +3). If you do, the
investigator will tell you about a particularly
thorny case, and you’ll provide a key insight
into solving it.

On a 10+, the investigator gives you advice

that is immediately helpful.

On a 7-9, choose 1:
• The investigator gives you advice that is
hazy but potentially helpful.
• The investigator can give you helpful ad-
vice but only after you help them with a
convoluted case.

On a 6-, be prepared for the worst; you

might overindulge, or the investigator might
accuse you of being complicit in an ongoing
case. If you spent Experience, your name
might become known to a criminal ele-
ment.
 Equipment
Card Duelist
You have trained in the sometimes-deadly
art of card fighting, and you have a deck
of cards useful in gaming and as a refer-
ence tool. The cards might describe and pic-
ture animals, monsters, criminals, royalty,
plants, books, or any other class of being or
item with a complicated taxonomy.
You can use the cards as a weapon.
You’ll encounter others with their own decks
of duel cards. When you summon forth the
ectoplasmic images of the things your cards
portray in order to pit them against an op-
ponent’s deck, mark 1 Hex and roll with the
questions:
• Do you know the items or strengths of
your opponent’s deck?
• Have you spent most of your money on
your cards?
On a 10+, choose 2; on a 7-9, choose 1:
Erase 1 Hex.
• Your opponent marks 1 Hex.
• Your opponent marks 1 Stress.
• You claim one of your opponent’s cards;
describe it and gain 1 hold. You can
spend this hold to gain +1 (max +3) on
the next roll you make with your cards.
When you defeat a powerful being whose
taxonomy is represented in your deck, you
can mark 1 Hex to add a card representing
the being (or the being itself?) to your deck.
Gain 1 hold; you can spend this hold to gain
+1 (max +4) on the next roll you make with
your cards.
Enhanced Limb
You replace or lace a limb with something
not-you. Maybe write a personal tag for it.
Material (choose one and specify or write
your own): [wood] [metal] [stone] [biologi-
cal] [crystalline]
Choose an effect:
⏩ Stronger (add the question “Can my en-
hanced limb help me?” to Wound)
⏩ Faster (add the question “Can my en-
hanced limb help me?” to Derring-Do)
⏩ Mesmerizing (add the question “Do they
like my enhanced limb?” to Stare Into Eyes
Not Your Own)
You can take this move up to three times.
Big Suit
You’ve created/found/stolen (choose one) a
suit that allows you to navigate the spaces
between the Patchwork World and the pock-
et realms hiding in its seams. It provides 1
Armor and allows you to travel to said pock-
et realms.
When you travel to a pocket realm, roll with
the questions.
• Have you done your research?
• Have you taken time to prepare a gate-
way?
On a 10+, you get all three. On a 7-9,
choose two. On a 6-, choose one.
• You don’t attract attention on the way
and when you arrive.
• You can bring someone along safely.
• Time passes at the same rate at home
and in the pocket realm.

incorrectly, you get +0.

 Magnificent Weapon
You wield a weapon of particular craft or lineage. Detail
its looks, range, and material.

Whenever you use the weapon to harm Stress, deal +1

harm.

You can take this move multiple times, getting a new

weapon each time.

Look: _____________________________
Range (choose one): [melee] [missile]
Material (choose one and specify or write your own):
[wood] [metal] [stone] [energy] [biological] [crystal-

You can spend a full Experience track to add one of the

following abilities to the weapon:

Wedded to Flesh: When holding the weapon, it can’t be

taken or knocked from your grip. You always know the
distance and direction you are from the weapon.

The Blade Special: When you share a moment of emo-

tional intimacy with your weapon, roll no modifier. On
a 10+, you get +1 forward to the Wound move. On a
7-9, you get +1 forward to Wound but only if the blade
approves of your choice of target. On a 6-, the MC can
choose to have the weapon defect to an opponent. It will
return to you after it cuts you or you convince it you’re
a better wielder.

Honor Graft: When you use your weapon to cut a prom-

ise or debt from someone, roll with the questions:
Was the obligation created under duress?
Is there a large gulf of power between the promiser and
the promised?

On a 10+, choose 3. On a 7-9, choose 2. On a 6-, choose

1, and prepare for the worst.
• The debt doesn’t transfer to you.
• You don’t deal harm to the person holding the debt.
• The Promise Keepers, those judges who track debt
and promises with sacred knots, aren’t alerted to
your actions.

Slicing Up Eyeballs: As long you aren’t wielding the

weapon, it’s invisible to everyone else.
 Oracle Deck
You have a deck of cards made up of four
suits that help guide your actions. Draw
four personalized sigils on four notecards.
Assign each one an ability:
• You or an ally deal +1 harm.
• Reduce incoming Stress to you or an ally
by 1.
• Rrant an ally +1 forward.
• Cause an enemy to flinch or stumble.
When you trigger a move, you can choose
to mark 1 Hex to draw a card. The card’s ef-
fect applies to the next applicable moment
in the fiction. Then shuffle your cards.
Riding Leek
You can ride a leek. It grows to a comfort-
able size to sit on, and you can fly on it.
Each time you use it, mark one in order:
⏩ Your fellow leek riders come out in sup-
port.
⏩ You look impressive silhouetted against
bright celestial bodies.
⏩ Your leek sputters and rots, only getting
you halfway there.
Once all three have been marked, you must
grow or find a new leek
Smoke-Powered Vehicle
You have a conveyance that seats up to six.
It moves as fast as a “horse.” What does it
look like?
You must burn something to make it
move:
[long-compressed corpses] [memories]
[stories & songs] [wood] [bones] [a specific
food]
It has its own Stress clock; as long as the
clock isn’t full, the vehicle moves and pro-
tects those inside from harm.
You can spend a full Experience track to add
further abilities:
⏩ It can go in reverse.
⏩ It can jump 10 feet high and 15 for-
ward.
⏩ When out of fuel, it can be pedaled at a
slow pace.
⏩ You can use it to Wound; describe the
ominous attachment you give it.
⏩ It can operate under and atop water.
⏩ Gain another fuel type.
⏩ It can play music.
 Locations
Castle
You have a castle. It’s probably secure
against anything smaller than an army. It
can sustain itself in typical circumstances.
In unusual circumstances, the population
may demand something of you.
When your Experience track is full, you can
erase it to fill in a piece of the clock below.

etc. Name and describe them.
When you consult your castle’s inhabitants,
roll with the questions:
• Have you maintained your reputation as
a good leader?
• Do they have a fulfilling day-to-day life?
You can also add +1 if a specialist with ex-
perience applicable to your consultation is
present.
On a 10+, you can make a request of them
from the list below. On a 7-9, you can make
a request, but it comes with strings at-
tached. On a 6-, you can make one request,
but they’ll need something from you first.

_____________.

helped by knowing a rumor (max +3).
 Strange Abilities
Ancestral library
When you consult the memories of your an-
cestors, which live on inside you, you can

defense. Why is this?
When you mark Stress, roll +Stress marked.
On a 10+, bees emerge and deal your at-

or place?

after you in addition to the extant negative
effects.
Haunted
Angels (an old word for a yearning piece of
