Hi! I have a question about the Dying. What happens when a players fails on their Trigger move? Does it cause an MC move as usual? I was wondering because then bad things happen no matter what the player rolls (assuming that MC moves are mostly troublesome).
Also, on a 10+ symptoms manifest themselves. In addition, one of the two 10+-options allows chosing the “One of your symptoms manifest themselves in a big way” option from the 7-9 consequences. So, does that mean even more symptoms? Do these options stack? I find this a little confusing.
Thanks in advance, and also for the quick answer to my last question!
A miss doesn’t mean something bad happens, it means you make a move as hard as you like. An MC move could be offering them an opportunity with or without strings, or offering them comfort. It doesn’t have to always be a bad thing. A miss on that particular move, since they want to roll a miss for it usually, would mean you’d just make a move that makes sense for what would happen next that does not have something bad happen with the Trigger move. Failing is good, so don’t make any of those options in the move happen.
If they roll a 10+ one of the options for the MC is choose two from the 7-9 option instead of 1, whatever options you choose in that list both apply to what happens next yet, so sure, they stack. They only get more symptoms by way of the prognosis section, so no they don’t get another symptom this way, one of just manifests itself in a big way and you’d choose another option from the 7-9 list–like they pass out after it manifests in a big way. Usually, their symptom(s) aren’t manifesting, right? Now it would.
Alright, that all makes perfect sense (: Thanks a lot!
