Category: The Sprawl

Well the first arc of my Sprawl wrapped up last night. I asked if they wanted to stick with the system and the players to my surprised wanted to move on. They are from a more traditional tabletop background so maybe its not too surprising. Anyways I wanted to drop the custom moves I made for my game. I hope you find them interesting.

Right side of the Story

When you attempt to extort someone with the threat of a scandalous story and intend to follow through roll Edge.

10+: NPCs do what you want. PCs choose: do what you want, or suffer the established consequences.

7-9: PCs choose: do what you want, or suffer the established consequences. They take a +1 forward to acting against you in the future.

For NPCs, the MC chooses 1:

@ They do it, but they want payback. Add them as a threat.

@ They do it, but tell someone about it. Advance the appropriate Clock.

@ Unable to live underneath the pressure of the story anymore, they opt for the only route out they see: suicide.

6-: They call your bluff and force your hand. The story is out and can no longer be used as leverage.

Just Another Narrative

10+: Pick 2

@ Advocate for open violence against a target.

@ Organize a protest at a location.

@ Ask for an anonymous tip [Take Intel].

@ Plead for charity on a victim’s behalf.

7-9: Pick 1 and expect collateral damage

Psychic Onslaught

When resisting the mental intrusions of a psychic the GM will ask 3 questions, then the player will roll + MIND

10+: Your thoughts are you own. Which question do you answer with a lie?

7-9: Pick one question to answer honestly

6-: Answer all questions honestly

The Streets are a Battleground

When you rush through a neighborhood, paying no attention to the faction war around you roll +COOL

10+: You make it to your destination with no incident. Instead you stumble upon a battle long finished. [Take Gear/Intel]

7-9: Choose 1

@You are caught in the crossfire of both factions

@You find yourself in a dead end with a patrol clearing the area closing in on you.

@An agent spots you out in the opening and is approaching for a conversation.

6-: GM chooses 1

Hold onto the Conch

When you hold the Hi-TuneX23* Transmitter and try to impose your will upon the bio-weapon roll +EDGE

10+: Choose 3

7-9: Choose 1

@ It does as you commanded

@ It does not draw attention to itself

@ You do not have to feed it a living human.

6-: The bio-weapon tries to escape.

*There was a project in the works to upgrade the transmitter which would of allowed players to choose 2 on a 7-9.
