The ‘Get a Job’ move has a bullet point for ‘-1 from Complication Pool’

Where can I find more info on this pool of complications and what it signifies?

Two players and their characters in our group are already pursuing world changing projects, but neither are looking to do so via science (establishing a world wide organization and a communications network in their cases).

So a friend and I decided to design a Drive book to fit in for projects that are not explicitly ‘Science’ as the Drive book “Push the Boundaries of Science” already covers all things ‘Science’.

This is what we thought up and would like your review, comments and criticisms.

Doomsday Clock

Book available to open when:

-You start to create a project or organization that will change the world.

Discuss your project with the EIC, and write down a list of probable milestones that need to be completed for the project to work, as well as the project itself. The EIC will tell you a Threshold, based on how large the Project is. Take a Bond with the Project. Bonds with your Project cannot be Burned and do not affect your Bond Threshold. Every time you reach a milestone in your Project, increase your Bond with the Project by 1. When your Bond with the Project reaches its’ Threshold, your Project is completed.

Acceptable Losses:

You may burn 2 bonds with any single entity to gain the benefit of burning a bound but after you roll, instead of before.

Move available when:

You burn a Bond to fulfill a Milestone.

Witness the Power:

Remove one Impossible move or add one Possible to your character sheet.

Move available when:

You are over half way finished your Project

+Clumsy tag, roll Act Under Pressure whenever you take a physically strenuous action while wearing something with +Clumsy, or is it a -1 to a certain stat to do with moving?

One thing I might request in future updates…

Example antagonists for the Sprawl:

Antagonists that have ratings for how much Harm they can take (the full six, zero to three for mooks? Large gangs versus small gangs etc.) what kind of equipment a security team might have, versus a guard at a desk or a highly trained assassin.

Things that are a guideline for new GMs just coming to cyberpunk or Apocalypse World who may have been wary of massive stat blocks or unfamiliar to narrative gameplay and need a baseline guidepost to creating more martial focused antagonists and sorting out how combat works.

If it’s inappropriate to post, I’ll take this down, but a sister cyberpunk RPG based on Apocalypse World just made it onto Kickstarter and got funded.

Check it out if you like cyberpunk!
