Team fights.

Whenever a player ends their move, they describe a twist or attack that their character can’t deal with and someone is chosen to react.

Personal scenes. Each player gets at least one spotlight scene with up to one or two PCs in supporting roles. Remaining players take on NPC or GM roles.

The spotlight PC can choose one of GM Playbook related moves which they want the scene to focus around achieving or surpassing.

For example, a Bull might choose “endanger their Love.” In which case their Love will be endanger sometime during this scenes.
