Writing a threat
To write up a threat, follow these steps. The most important steps come first; the later steps are optional.
- 1) Give the threat a name and type.
- 2) Add it to the appropriate threat tracker.
- 3) Give it an instinct, if it doesn't already have one.
- 4) Write a quick description, including related threats and NPCs.
- 5) If it has momentum: write out its impending doom and grim portents.
- 6) Optional: write some stakes questions.
- 7) Optional: pick or write GM moves to further define its behavior/capabilities.
- 8) Optional: write custom player moves.
