A little snippet before heading off towards Concrete Cow and other ventures.

Apps: Mates, Dates & Spooky Fates

One last update before I head off for a weekend or gaming and catching up with family; this is another playbook that I’ll save for later.

The Burnout

You bore the gift in your youth, using it to protect this world from the otherworld, until the day it all went wrong and you were left a scarred & broken husk, the gift forsaken in exchange for your life.

Choose two:

– Battle Scarred: take +1 anger (max. +3); if you have a disfiguring scar on your face, take -1 ongoing when you feel the pain.

– Supply Dump: take +1 forward when you visit one of your stashes of essential survival gear; if you are homeless & jobless, each stash also contains a couple of conventional weapons.

– Notorious: take +1 fear (fear+3); if you have a lengthy criminal record, everyone else takes -1 ongoing when they avoid conflict with you.

– Field Surgeon: you can patch anyone up, no matter how much pain they have, the subject heals 1 bar and feels the pain; if you have a serious, chronic medical condition, the subject heals 2 bars when you make this move.

– Nightmares: when you grow colder, the MC must answer one question about whatever has made you colder; if you need your meds to get by, take -1 cold when you dose yourself enough to pass out.

– Inseparable: one of your old friends died and came back as a ghost; discuss this character and their abilities with the MC, they are the only app you can see.

Freeze: they’ve come back for you; as long as you are frozen, you have sight-1. Take -1 cold each time an app haunts you or uses a supernatural power against you.
