If a plane becomes a “fiery wreck”, does that mean it’s beyond repair and a new one must be sourced?
If a plane becomes a “fiery wreck”, does that mean it’s beyond repair and a new one must be sourced? Or do repairs just take a little longer?

To what degree (if any) is the MC justified in asking a player to take a Mark as the consequence of a 6- even if the move doesn’t normally call for one?
I did this recently under these circumstances: one of the PCs was sent with an NPC scrounger to get back a couple of drums of motor oil that the 218th had made off with. The NPC brought the PC (Masha) to a Jewish community hiding out in the woods near Krasnodar; the plan was for the NPC to exchange some barley the PCs had scrounged up for luxury goods that could be used to scrounge back some motor oil. While they were there, Masha decided to do some scrounging of her own. I asked what she was going to trade with, and her player said that since we had established that Masha was a physician in civilian life, she’d trade medical treatment for goods.
The PC then managed to get a 6-, so I said to take a Mark in addition to the other consequences; this seemed to fit, since the condition of the refugees was pretty terrible and probably would shock a reasonably compassionate physician. I don’t feel that was necessarily the wrong call (it was following the fiction), but I’m curious as to what other people feel about using Marks as a consequence, given that there’s no specific MC move to do that.
Does anyone know if there is a Roll20 custom sheet for Night Witches somewhere on the internet ?

I’ve read enough Russian novels* that I often find myself reaching for the patronymic in play even though most of the PCs don’t have one. So I made up a little sheet that lists a bunch of the most common ones (lifted from the State Department’s Russian embassy site, thanks guys!) and bundled that with a one-page handout that gives a bit of background on the youth organizations Night Witches PCs might have belonged to growing up, as well as a short note on the difference between comrade and citizen in ordinary use. Neither is necessary, but on the odd chance you or your fellow gamers like a little extra background, have at them!
*Well, War and Peace a bunch of times, Anna Karenina twice, and The Master and Margarita which I highly recommend for a wry look at this period.

We’re planning on playing Night Witches soon via Hangouts. Does anyone have access to the playbooks in an editable and / or shareable format, useful for hangout gaming?
So glad to have found this community!
So glad to have found this community! I finished a five week arc of Night Witches last year, and I am looking to get another set of players for a new run this summer. You can find the actual play here at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTilBK2SqLPzEy-oS-vmOM5VbKI1RRTo
There were some particularly epic moments that really made this game exceptional, including Thor’s mythical inability to land a plane.
If you haven’t played Night Witches, I hope this helps you decide to grab it; if you have, let me know any comments you might have so I can prepare for the next run.

About a month back. Right before a local con. I put together a selection of pictures to give to a good friend to use for portraits of pilots and NPCs in her Night Witches game. Another friend of mine used his graphic design skills to crop the photos down to Polaroid size and print them off in black and white. For use as visual aids in the game.
It worked out great (i guess). As I was not in her game. But, have been in games that used similar methods. And found that it added a lot to the enjoyment of the session. In the spirit of helping out the community. I offer the pictures up for people to use as they wish. I hope you get much enjoyment out of it.
