Hi everybody. I have a question regarding the Act Under Pressure move. It says that in case of a partial success the keeper gives the hunter “worse outcome, hard choice, or price to pay.”
My question is : as a keeper, do i tell my player to chose between one of these options, in their abstract, and then define what it means, or would i just come up with one of these and they deal with it?
It’s probably obvious but to y’all but I’m a little committed
Anyway thanks in advance
No, she dosen’t choose between them; it’s Mc’s duty to present her what will happen. Be wary of the difference between soft and hard moves.
That’s right – work out what makes sense, then tell the player. E.g. “You get the door closed, but the latch is broken – you’ll need to stay and hold it” for a worse outcome, or “You can get through the door, or you can get the amulet, but not both” for a hard choice, or “You can get through the door, if you drop that grimoire – it’s pretty heavy” for a price to pay.
