I found that all of the options for the Uncover Secrets move seem pretty straightforward and comprehensible, with the possible exception of “A powder keg, ready to explode.” I was hoping for some clarification.
My current interpretation/impression of the option is that you can add a threat, location, or situation that has the potential to cause a large amount of damage or fallout if handled improperly and/or not dealt with in the immediate future. Am I on the right track?
Exactly! I’ve struggled to phrase that concept in a way that fits in a single line – any suggestions for improvements would be welcome.
I can see how that would be difficult to express concisely. Maybe “a volatile situation poised to wreak havoc?”
Ah yeah, volatile’s a great word!
I changed “ready” to “poised” above, but I think either could work. 😉
