BLACKMAILING.
My players have finally unleashed a terrible virus in all the settlements around, and i would like to create a custom move for when time comes to get paid.
I would really, really appreciate some hints about the move, and some ideas about what could i put in the squeeze list.
Your minimum squeeze starts at 0.
When times come to get tribute, and you have enough vaccines for everyone, choose how much you want to squeeze them (minimum squeeze-4) and roll+squeeze.
In addition to the result of the roll, take enough smorgasbord of medical stuff to make another round of temporary vaccines, and pick 2+squeeze from the squeeze list.
On a 6-, nothing else.
On a 7-9, choose 1:
– someone can’t or won’t pay. Make them suffer publicly, or the MC makes a move.
– an unexpected community comes. You have one or two new options from the squeeze list, but you have to pay for their medical material upfront, and your minimum squeeze increases by 1.
– medical material is getting scarce. You can’t choose to gain more medical material, and you just replenish 3/4 of the one you need.
On a 10+, choose 2.
On a 13+, really bad shit happens.
Squeeze list example (may change, depending on the month):
– Take 20 slaves from St.Patrick or Madison.
– Take 3 extra smorgasbord of medical material from Madison or Brooklin’s Raiders.
– Take a rare good from the world before from the Consortium or Brooklin’s Raiders.
– Force St.Patrick technician to work for you.
– Ask Madison or Brooklin’s Raider to destroy someone.
– Give the medicines for free to someone – you’ll gain the respect of the population.
*smorgasbord of medical material can be used to create vaccines, by the savyhead for his project, or by the Angel to replenish her stock.
With a beginning like that I would have thought it was going to be a Germ Warfare move.
oh, musing on that would be appreciated too.
