(Unrelated to my other recent question) In Monster of the Week, “use magic” is one of the basic moves that all the players can use, and for some playbooks it’s the only Weird-based move they have. As the MC, what should I do if letting everybody have access to magic doesn’t fit with the setting I have in mind?

I’m thinking about a campaign inspired by the comic series Fables: Legends in Exile, where the players are all supernatural beings, trying to live in secret among humanity and deal with conflicts between others of their kind, possibly while being hunted down by an enemy force. The problem is, I’m not sure what game would fit it best. I considered Monsterhearts, but felt it was too restricted to classical monsters in high school. I’m currently looking at Monster of the Week, which seems like a better fit but not perfect. I’m eager for any suggestions, either for other games that would fit the premise better, or for ways to tweak M<3s or MotW to make them work. Your thoughts?

If someone has the Gunlugger’s NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH move, does that mean that if they have any gang-related moves, they can use them on themself when in battle? I’m especially looking at the Chopper’s Fucking Thieves move.
