SESSION MOVES

SESSION INTRO
At the beginning of every session, choose the player of the character you trust
the least to spotlight a Faction for your character (that isnt already marked)
and mark that Faction. Tell the MC about a rumor or conflict that youve heard
about that Faction, building on previous established information if youd like,
and roll with the Faction:
On a 10+, youre prepared for the conflict you laid out: youve got a Debt
on someone in that Faction or a useful piece of information or equipment,
your choice. On a 7-9, youre neck deep in it: you owe someone in that
Faction a Debt, and someone in that Faction owes a Debt to you. On a miss,
youre caught flat-footed, unprepared, or unaware: the MC will tell you who
is coming at you.
If you start a session in the middle of a chaotic situation or with plenty going
on already, the MC might decide to skip this move.

SESSION END
At the end of every session, if you learned something meaningful about a
Faction, increase your score in that Faction by 1 and decrease your score in a
different Faction by 1. Tell the MC how your relationships to those communities have changed.
If someone did you a favor at a cost, tell the group; you owe them a Debt.
If you did someone a favor without redress, tell the group; they owe you
a Debt.

HARM AND HEALING

When you suffer an attack or mishap, consult the harm rating of the source
and mark off that many boxes on your harm track, following the track downward. As each tier is checked off, record the type of injury or injuries youve
sustained to help you remember how your character has been wounded.
When your harm track reaches Grievous, you need medical assistance before
you can recuperate from your wounds. When your harm track reaches
Critical, you are in serious trouble and need immediate aid or you will soon
face death. If you receive the right help, you begin healing naturally over time.
Further harm inflicted on you will kill you unless you mark a Scar.
Once healing begins, erase one harm per day, provided you take things easy
for a while. The MC might tell you to erase two per day if youre recovering in
a real medical facility. Healing starts at the beginning of the track and follows
downward until you have erased all your harm. If you suffer further harm
during that time, it is marked off at the beginning of the track as usual.

you know their reputation; the GM will tell you what most people know about
them. On a 10+, youve dealt with them before; learn something interesting
and useful about them or they owe you a Debt. On a miss, you dont know
them or you owe them, the MC will tell you which.

INVESTIGATE A PLACE OF POWER

consequences: they pick two from the list above or force you to lose all the
Debts owed to you.
The MC can cash in Debts owed to NPCs on PCs (and other NPCs) using
these same moves.

DROP SOMEONES NAME

When you drop the name of someone who owes you a Debt, roll with
their Faction. On a hit, their name carries weight and gives you an opening
or opportunity. On a 10+, you keep the Debt and mark their Faction. On 7-9,
you have to cash in the Debt. On a miss, erase the Debt and brace yourself.
