Another move I wrote:
Duck Hunt: at the beginning of the session, roll+weird. On a 10+, hold 2. On a 7-9, hold 1. At any time, you can spend your hold to avoid 1 segment of damage inflicted upon you. On a miss, the MC will tell you about somebody new who wants you dead.
I think the miss result needs to change. Or maybe it’s perfect the way it is, reaching out to the maelstrom for protection and it implants hostility and aggression towards you into somebody instead. Thoughts?
I don’t really understand how this works in the fiction. What do i do to get this protection?
I was thinking of it as using the psychic maelstrom to subconsciously prepare for what’s coming and then being able to avoid it, hence the use of the word ‘duck’
A name like “Feel the pain” or “Danger Precognition” or something would make this a lot clearer to understand i think
It’s more of a Loveletter move then. “Dear fuckheads, you have been having strange hunches and premonitons, roll + weird…”
I guess I was feeling punny when I wrote “Duck Hunt”
