Sprawl uses slightly different countdown clocks than standard Apocalypse World. Are there any other games with different fornat clocks or with different numbers of segments?

Thanks!

Okay peeps. Gimme some shiny ideas.

Our plucky operatives have infiltrated the factory-island of Zanzibar, where the megacorp Ikea-Stewart makes their prefab office modules. (You can buy a whole office, smartly decorated, and all wired up, and then ship it around the globe to whatever office block your job takes you to!). They have already planted the trojan horse in the office software template that will do who-knows-what for their employers. They’re on their way off the island (planning on stowing away inside a prefab office as it’s put onto one of the nuclear-powered Monsanto-Maersk superships in the harbor).

But. In their initial research, they did discover an odd thing. The Jozani forest, at the core of the island, is the only bit that hasn’t been paved over and industrialized. And in the middle of that forest are three, large, building-shaped heat signatures, at least according to satellite imagery. Reckoning that whatever Ikea-Stewart is hiding in the middle of a forest in the middle of a factory in the middle of a heavily-fortified island must be valuable, the operatives are going to take a peek before leaving the island.

Of course I, the MC, have no freakin’ idea what those heat signatures actually are. Any ideas? What’s something appropriately valuable and appropriately dangerous for these poor saps to wander into?
