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.
