Mossa Sessuale

Quando fai sesso, il potere oscuro perde una Stringa su di te e ottiene una Stringa sula persona con cui hai fatto sesso.

Sé Oscuro

Non puoi ottenere ciò di cui hai bisogno, non più. Il mondo ti ha lasciato al freddo e solo, a rabbrividire nel risveglio delle tue stesse dipendenze. Il potere oscuro ti farà alcune richieste aperte, e ti prometterà alcune cose lucrative (e magari effimere) in cambio. Ogni richiesta che soddisfi ti avvicina un po’ a sentirti nuovamente integro, a ravvivare la fiamma nel tuo cuore. Ogni qual volta adempi a queste richieste, elimina una Stringa che ha su di te. Esci dal tuo Sé Oscuro quando il potere oscuro non ha più Stringhe su di te, o quando acconsenti a un patto persino peggiore con un potere oscuro ancora più pericoloso.

Avanzamenti

Ottieni un’altra mossa dell’Infernale. Ottieni i Patti restanti. Crea un nuovo Patto (dietro approvazione dell’MC). Ottieni una mossa da un’altra Pelle. Ottieni una mossa da un’altra Pelle. Provvedi a dei Demoni Bisognosi. Aggiungi 1 a Caldo (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Freddo (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Instabile (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Oscuro (massimo 3).

Giocare L’Infernale

Potente, disperato, dipendente. L’infernale è il mantenuto di un amante demoniaco, qualcuno che gli dà ciò che vuole. A un certo prezzo. La meccanica principale dell’Infernale è scegliere quando dare Stringhe al potere oscuro (tramite i Patti). L’Infernale è estremamente potente quando prende a prestito potere in quantità, ma prima o poi crolla e diviene impotente per un po’. È importante ricordarsi che crollare non è una punizione, ma parte di un arco narrativo. Non c’è alcun bisogno di evitare il crollo, o di smettere di usare Patti una volta che il potere oscuro ha 4 Stringhe su di te. Il tuo personaggio è interessante e potente perché accondiscende a questo arco narrativo di potere meteorico e astinenza improvvisa. Con Reclutatore Oscuro, le specifiche di cosa significhi “portare qualcuno al potere oscuro” vengono lasciate a interpretazione e contesto. Potrebbe significare un’uccisione sacrificale, potrebbe significare presentarlo fisicamente al potere oscuro, o potrebbe significare qualcosa di completamente diverso. Con A Una Condizione, non otterrai mai esattamente la cosa che stai cercando. L’MC ha la possibilità di aggiungere un imprevisto indesiderabile al mix. Se vuoi un’auto, potrebbe essere rubata, o posseduta, o avere un cadavere nel bagagliaio. Puoi sempre rifiutare.

All’ inizio, sembrava una cosa innocente. Ti dava delle cose, ti faceva sentire bene con te stesso. Andavi da lui con i tuoi problemi, e lui li sistemava. Quando chiedesti come potevi ricambiare il favore, ti disse di essere paziente, che tutti i debiti sarebbero stati ripagati a loro tempo. Quella è stata la prima volta che l’ hai sentito parlare di debiti. Hai Satana come spacciatore, o un demone nel cervello. O magari le stelle brillano solo per te. Comunque sia, sei in debito con qualcosa di molto più grosso e spaventoso di quanto tu sarai mai.

Questo gioco contiene elementi interattivi. A pagina 9 viene spiegato come ogni giocatore, MC a parte, dovrà scegliersi una Pelle, ossia un libretto che tratteggia il tipo di personaggio che interpreterà in gioco. Le Pelli sono scaricabili dalla sezione “Download” del sito www.narrattiva.it e il gioco vi da istruzioni di leggere ad alta voce il testo descrittivo di ciascuna quando iniziate a giocare e prima di scegliere. Abbiamo però pensato di fornire agli appassionati un bonus nella forma di un “doppiaggio” per ogni Pelle. Inquadrando infatti le immagini dei libretti scaricabili con il vostro telefono o iPad, potete ascoltare due attori leggere i testi descrittivi. Per questo bonus è necessaria l’installazione della applicazione gratuita Aurasma.

Scegli un titolo dalla lista, per descrivere questa entità con cui hai stretto patti: L’Avvelenatore L’Ingannatore L’Intenditore Il Caduto L’ingordo L’Emissario Il Macellaio Il Tiranno Oppure, se preferisci non sapere con chi o cosa hai stretto patti, va bene; basta che l’MC lo sappia.

A Una Condizione Puoi rivolgerti al potere oscuro per qualcosa che vuoi veramente, veramente tanto. L’MC metterà un prezzo a ciò che vuoi e ti darà un indizio su un aspetto indesiderato nella sua natura. Se pagherai il prezzo, otterrai ciò che cerchi.

Altre Mosse

Mossa Sessuale

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno, entrambi potete fare una domanda all’altro personaggio. Può essere posta dal tuo personaggio, o semplicemente chiesta da giocatore a giocatore. L’altra persona deve rispondere onestamente e direttamente.

Sé Oscuro

Divieni invisibile. Nessuno può vederti, percepirti, o sentire la tua voce. Puoi ancora influenzare oggetti inanimati, ma questa è il tuo unico mezzo di comunicazione. Esci dal tuo Sé Oscuro quando qualcuno riconosce la tua presenza e dimostra quanto ti voglia avere intorno.

Aggiungi 1 a Caldo (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Freddo (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Instabile (massimo 3). Aggiungi 1 a Oscuro (massimo 3).

Giocare Il Fantasma

Tormentato, insicuro, intuitivo, volubile. Il fantasma ruota attorno al rivivere traumi passati, vedere il vero volto delle persone e avere poteri sinistri. Ci sono diverse direzioni in cui si può portare Il Fantasma. La prima è uno spirito insensibile e pericoloso, usando Trauma Irrisolto e Vendicativo per sfogare il tuo dolore sulla generazione successiva. La seconda è uno spettro voyeuristico e solitario, intrappolato per sempre in uno stato di tragedia pubescente. Stalker e Fantasma Affamato contribuiscono entrambe, in questo caso. La terza è qualcuno intrappolato in un ciclo di confusa auto-infestazione, vacillante fra Trauma Irrisolto e Perdona e Dimentica. Sono certamente possibili altre interpretazioni. Il Fantasma ha una gran quantità di ambiti emotivi da esplorare. Gli altri personaggi possono rimuovere la Condizione incolpato nella stessa maniera in cui rimuoverebbero qualsiasi altra Condizione. Quando usi Dissipare per fuggire da una situazione spaventosa o tesa, conta come fuggire. L’opzione 7~9 di Fantasma Affamato rappresenta il lato pericoloso dell’essere la spalla su cui piangere di qualcuno. Questi potrebbe usare il tuo sostegno per ritrovare la propria compostezza e benessere, o potrebbe usare la tua empatia come uno strumento per ottenere potere su di te. L’idea dietro al gruppo Casa degli Spiriti è che tu risieda dentro a una casa infestata, o abbia in qualche modo fatto gruppo con gli abitanti spirituali di una casa infestata. Parla con l’MC delle limitazioni fisiche che il tuo gruppo sperimenta, così come dell’ammontare di potere che ha su chi entra nella casa.

Fanta-fantasmino. Sei morto.

Tutto ciò che dici è una promessa. Tutto ciò che senti è una promessa. Se una promessa viene infranta, la giustizia dev’essere temprata nel sangue. Per uscire dal tuo Sé Oscuro, devi in qualche modo riequilibrare i piatti della bilancia della giustizia.

Giocare Il Fatato

Seducente, esotico, volubile, vendicativo. Il fatato ruota attorno allo strappare promesse e al portare vendetta fatata quando vengono rotte. I Fatati sono sexy ed è difficile resistergli. Usano questi attributi per ottenere promesse dalle persone, e queste promesse detengono un potere cosmico. Avere Freddo e Instabile basse gli rende difficile gelare gli altri o tenerli lontani. Invece, eccellono nell’avvicinarsi alle persone. Contratto Fatato dà peso meccanico alle promesse infrante. Ottieni Stringhe e nuovi poteri. Si assume che queste nuove opzioni di spesa delle Stringhe siano in qualche modo magiche. Puoi fare sì che “sbagli qualcosa di semplice in un momento cruciale” semplicemente sedendo sulle gradinate e desiderando che lo faccia. Il tuo volere sembra manifestarsi nel mondo. Scrivi ogni promessa che ricevi. Non c’è alcuna mossa che ti permette di ottenere a forza una promessa da qualcuno, ma un’interpretazione ingegnosa e degli incentivi meccanici possono aiutarti in questo. Oltre Il Velo introduce l’idea di un Re delle Fate. Scegliere questa mossa ispira diverse domande: com’è la società fatata? A quali forze devi fedeltà? Il tuo Sé Oscuro ha una “clausola di salvaguardia” ambigua. Ciò che è richiesto perché i piatti della bilancia siano riequilibrati sarà del tutto dipendente dal contesto. Tu e l’MC dovreste essere entrambi d’accordo che le cose sono state aggiustate, prima che tu possa sfuggire a te stesso.

Ai margini di questo mondo, appena oltre il velo, ci sono colori che pochi mortali anche solo sognano. Abbastanza bellezza da infrangere ogni cuore. I Fatati vivono e respirano al limitare di questo mondo. Tengono una spolverata di questa magia nascosta dietro le orecchie… non si sa mai. E i Fatati sono disposti a condividere. Non sono altro che generosi, chiedono solo una cosa in cambio. Una promessa. Mantienila, e la vera bellezza del mondo sarà rivelata. Rompila, e proverai l’ ira della vendetta fatata.

Guida Spendendo una Stringa su una persona consenziente, puoi portarla attraverso il Velo, alla corte fatata. Tuttavia, la magia non dura a lungo, e presto entrambi fate ritorno al mondo normale.

Giocare Il Ghoul

Freddo, risoluto, affamato. Il ghoul è morto, ed è ritornato con emozioni attutite e fame di carne umana. Il ghoul si giova dell’essere insoddisfatto e malevolo. La Fame ti dà un’opzione: puoi bramare carne umana, come uno zombie comune, o puoi bramare qualcosa un po’ più sottile. È importante che, qualunque sia la tua Fame, saziarla sia spaventoso e caotico. Prendere qualcuno di sorpresa e dire “Buh!” non soddisferà la tua Fame di Paura. Hai bisogno di terrorizzare la gente e renderla timorosa di camminare verso casa da sola la notte. Se hai Fame di Carne, allora una bistecca del supermercato non andrà bene. O andrà bene, ma ci vorranno chili e chili di bistecche ogni giorno. Qualunque siano le specifiche, la Fame dovrebbe essere un problema grosso e difficile da affrontare, per il tuo personaggio. Non c’è Riposo per i Malvagi dà all’MC l’occasione di metterti in situazioni bizzarre e inaspettate. Scegliere di morire e poi tornare in vita è come dire, “Ok, MC, colpiscimi, posso prenderle”. Assapora il pandemonio. Golem Guardiano ti permette di aggiungere un lato gentile al personaggio senza disturbare l’immagine di snervante sociopatico che Il Ghoul sviluppa rapidamente..

La morte ti ha cambiato. Si è presa la tua gioia contemplativa, ha attutito i tuoi sensi e ti ha lasciato impossibilmente affamato. Quella fame è sempre con te, come un ronzio nelle orecchie che si gonfia e cresce finché non puoi sentire nient’altro. Incustodita, arriverà a dominarti, ma nutrirla potrebbe essere altrettanto brutto. C’ è una certa bellezza in ciò che sei diventato. Il tuo corpo emaciato, la sua forma innaturale, attrae le persone. Il tuo arido disinteresse sembra esotico. Ma sotto a questa facciata insoddisfatta, la fame, la fame.

Giocare Il Lupo Mannaro

Passionale, violento, muscolare, volubile. Il lupo mannaro ruota attorno all’usare la violenza fisica e la trasformazione per ottenere ciò che vuole. Sia in Odore di Sangue che in Dominanza Primordiale, “ferire” si riferisce al causare danno fisico a un personaggio, che venga registrato sul suo contatore del danno. Se hai giocato a Il Mondo dell’Apocalisse (NdE: cosa che vi consigliamo, è un gran gioco), noterai che Sensi Acuiti è il parallelo del leggere una situazione tesa di quel gioco. Ci sono diverse mitologie sui lupi mannari, nel mondo, molte delle quali si contraddicono l’una con l’altra. In Cuori di Mostro, puoi prendere decisioni riguardo quali di queste mitologie sono vere. Dato che potenzialmente si può diventare il proprio Sé Oscuro in qualsiasi momento, sappiamo che i lupi mannari non devono sempre aspettare la luna piena per trasformarsi. Sta al gruppo di gioco decidere se puoi trasformarti in un lupo senza diventare il tuo Sé Oscuro. Se è necessaria una trasformazione in Sé Oscuro, puoi causarla provocandoti quattro danni. Il tuo lato animale ha le stesse caratteristiche del tuo lato umano. Ciò che cambia sono il tuo ruolo e posizione nella storia: in questo nuovo contesto, avranno senso nuove azioni e opportunità. Inoltre, mosse come Squilibrato e Mostrare le Zanne hanno effetto quando entri nel tuo Sé Oscuro.

Tutti attorno a te paiono così disponibili a interpretare il ruolo assegnato, a colorare quietamente dentro ai margini. Sono stati domati, addomesticati. Tu sei di una razza diversa. Hai abbattuto il recinto costruito per rinchiuderti. Hai ululato alla luna, e l’ hai sentita ululare in risposta. La trasformazione è completa. Questo è ciò che sei sempre stato destinato a essere. Selvaggio. Incrollabile. Vivo.

Sensi Acuiti Quando ti affidi ai tuoi istinti animali per comprendere una situazione tesa, tira con Oscuro. Con 10 o più, fai tre domande all’MC. Qual è la migliore via di fuga? Quale nemico è più vulnerabile per me? Qual è la sua debolezza segreta? Cosa costituisce il pericolo maggiore per me? Chi ha il controllo qui? Con 7~9, chiedine una. Se agisci seguendo una delle risposte dell’MC, aggiungi 1 al tuo primo tiro.

Armatura Spirituale Quando ti crogioli alla luce lunare, qualsiasi danno che subisci viene ridotto di 1 e aggiungi 2 ai tiri per mantenere il controllo.

Mossa Sessuale

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno, innesca il suo Sé Oscuro.

Sé Oscuro

Nessuno ti capisce, e nemmeno vuole farlo. Preferirebbero che tu sparissi. Beh, non sparirai. Renderai la loro vita un inferno in terra. Denuncerai i malvagi ai giudici, i deboli ai carnefici. Metterai umani ed esseri sovrannaturali gli contro gli altri, finché tutti sembreranno mostri. Solo vedere il dolore che stai causando al tuo amato ti permetterà di uscire dal tuo Sé Oscuro.

Giocare Il Mortale

Vulnerabile, co-dipendente, magnetico, bello. Il mortale ruota attorno al beneficiare della co-dipendenza e al macinare esperienza. Per chiunque altro, cedere una Stringa rappresenterebbe una perdita di controllo. Per te, è più simbiotico: ottieni potere cedendolo. Non devi necessariamente essere in una relazione con qualcuno, per dichiararlo tuo Vero Amore. Ce l’Hai Con Me, Ce l’Hai Con Lui ti permette di sfuggire ai tuoi problemi attuali creandoti potenziali problemi futuri (dando più potere al tuo amato). Il beneficio nascosto qui è che tu sei meglio equipaggiato per affrontare i problemi col tuo amato che con chiunque altro. Trincerato ti dà un beneficio concreto nel concedere Stringhe. Finché tu e un altro personaggio avete 5 Stringhe fra di voi (magari tu ne hai 1 su di lui e lui ne ha 4 su di te), tu prosperi. La tua Mossa Sessuale può sembrare negativa, ma ricorda: Il Mortale beneficia dell’essere vittima. Il passaggio al Sé Oscuro non deve per forza essere immediato: potrebbe avere luogo un’ora dopo che te ne sei andato da casa sua, per esempio. .

Nessuno di loro capirebbe. Quello che tu hai qui, in questo luogo oscuro e segreto, è bello. Ti avvertirebbero che questo genere di bellezza è pericoloso, come un incendio divampante. Beh, per certe cose vale la pena bruciarsi. L’amore ha oscurato ogni speranza. E l’oscurità ti ha fatto sentire bellissimo

Sé Oscuro

Nessuno dei tuoi amici può aiutarti. Non sono forti come te. Devi inseguire il maggior pericolo immaginabile, immediatamente e da solo. Ogni sfida o pericolo che incontri deve essere affrontato a testa bassa, anche se potrebbe ucciderti.

Giocare Il Prescelto

Potente, vendicativo, tormentato, masochista. Il prescelto è un uccisore di mostri che si scopre attratto dall’oscurità. Introdurre Il Prescelto nel gioco sposta l’attenzione verso un cattivo finale, qualcuno di esterno ai PG. Anche se Il Prescelto crea comunque subbuglio fra i PG, questo cambiamento può avere un grosso impatto sul tono della giocata. Perché Pietà sia valida, deve almeno esserci la possibilità implicita che tu lo stessi per uccidere. Questo può includere pronunciare e poi ritirare una minaccia di morte in sala mensa. Se scegli Scontro Finale, segnali all’MC che vuoi vedere mostri da giorno del giudizio e potenti nemici dagli inferi. Ugualmente, quando nomini un mostro durante “il tuo passato”, usa l’opportunità per creare un personaggio che sei interessato a esplorare (e con cui confrontarti) con il tuo. Se usi Illumina la Via per guidare alleati PNG, di’ all’MC che le loro azioni sono “in Vantaggio”. Questa è una meccanica specifica dell’MC.

Il mondo ha bisogno di te. Ha bisogno di qualcuno abbastanza coraggioso da inoltrarsi alla cieca nelle tenebre e portare una luce a tutte le anime perdute là fuori. Hanno bisogno di un campione. Non possono farcela da soli. C’ è solo quell’unico fastidioso assillo, quello che si fa sentire nei momenti peggiori: e se non fossi abbastanza bravo?

Giocare Il Vampiro

Gelido, manipolatore, grazioso, ipnotico. Il vampiro ruota attorno al trinceramento emotivo e alla dominanza emotiva. Come Vampiro, avrai benefici dall’infastidire le persone senza mai spingerle al confronto fisico. Il Vampiro è il maestro delle dinamiche caldo-freddo. Conosciamo tutti un sacco di miti sui vampiri, alcuni di essi anche contraddittori. Sta al gruppo di gioco determinare quali sono veri nella vostra partita. I vampiri sono allergici ad aglio e croci? Se non scegli Invitato, va bene non considerare il mito sui vampiri che necessitano di permesso per entrare in un’abitazione privata. Con Marchiato per la Caccia, si presuppone che tu sia in grado di rintracciare facilmente qualcuno, non importa quanto recentemente ti sia nutrito, a meno che non ci sia motivo per cui il suo odore o sangue sia cambiato.

Sei bellezza eterna. Sei l’oscurità che ognuno vuole assaggiare, ma che nessuno vuole capire. È lì nei tuoi occhi, nelle tue parole scelte con cura e in ogni tuo gesto: non hai più un’anima. Alcuni vampiri si dilettano di questo, la loro vita post mortem un arazzo di dissanguamento ed edonismo. Altri odiano il male dentro di loro, e si votano solennemente a un’esistenza casta e solitaria. In entrambi i casi, qualcuno soffre. La scelta è tua.

Con 7~9, l’ipnosi funziona, ma scegli uno: capisce che l’hai ipnotizzato; esegue male i tuoi ordini; la sua sanità mentale viene compromessa.

Giocare La Regina

Autoritaria, irresistibile, maligna, sexy. La regina ruota attorno al trasformare cerchie ristrette e popolarità in armi. I diversi punti di forza per La Cerchia non hanno effetti meccanici specifici. Piuttosto, ti aiutano a definire in cosa il tuo gruppo sarà in grado di aiutarti e che tipo di potere ti offrirà. Lo Scudo funziona in maniera diversa a seconda che la persona che ti approccia sia un PG o un PNG. Se è un PG, allora quel personaggio subisce -1 nell’agire contro di te. Se è un PNG, allora di’ all’MC che “Lo Scudo li mette in Svantaggio”. Questa è una meccanica specifica dell’MC che renderà i PNG che agiscono contro di te più deboli e più vulnerabili. Con Ma Ancor Più Stretti i Nemici, qualcuno può tradirti solo se stavi dipendendo da lui perché ti aiutasse in un qualche modo. È valido considerare un fallimento come tradimento. Flusso Costante è l’unico potere apertamente sovrannaturale che La Regina possiede (anche se Molti Corpi implica fortemente un qualche genere di legame sovrannaturale all’opera). Evita questa mossa e puoi creare come personaggio una reginetta adolescente super-popolare e mondana. Il titolo “Regina” viene usato in modo non specifico rispetto al genere. Creare una Regina maschio va benissimo.

Sei speciale. Una bellezza sovrana. Meriti più che il resto di questo miserabile mondo. Meriti la volontà e l’adorazione di coloro che ti stanno attorno. E non è solo perché sei migliore di loro. È perché li rendi migliori. Forti, belli, completi. Non sarebbero nulla senza di te.

Playing the Hollow Uncertain, unstable, impressionable, and lost. The Hollow doesn’t have a past, and is struggling to imagine their future. They’re in the midst of an existential crisis, and being not-quite-real they can only look to those around them for the answers. The Hollow’s two stat options slant toward being either beautiful enigma (Hot 1 & Dark 2) or an erratic misfit (Volatile 2 & Dark 1). Their Cold stat is low, making it hard for them to confront their fears or stand up to others. The Hollow is yearning for a sense of self, and clinging to any labels which seem like they might help cobble together an identity, which is why so many of their moves revolve around Conditions. When you use Strange Impressions, you can gain any of the Skin Moves on the relevant sheet. You aren’t limited only to the ones which have been selected for that character. When you temporarily gain a move in this way, it doesn’t affect the other character’s access to it. If the Hollow has sex with more than one person at once, everyone does the writing and revealing simultaneously. If the Hollow shared an answer with one or more characters, that’s the set of characters who mark experience.

The Hollow They set out to make something from nothing. It’s not clear whether they succeeded or not. See, it turns out there’s a lot of grey area between something and nothing.

Sé Oscuro

Il tempo delle sottigliezze e della pazienza è finito. Sei troppo potente per sopportare oltre le loro fesserie. Affatturi chiunque ti contrari. Tutte le fatture hanno effetti collaterali inaspettati e sono più efficaci di quanto ti piaccia. Per uscire dal tuo Sé Oscuro, devi offrire pace a colui che hai maggiormente ferito.

Giocare La Strega

Manipolatrice, riservata, pronta a dare giudizi, meditabonda. La strega ruota attorno allo scagliare giudizi silenti e potenti fatture, dalla sicurezza della sua camera. I Pegni Simpatetici possono essere una qualsiasi cosa personale: una ciocca di capelli, una nota scritta da lui, il suo diario, o il rossetto che ti ha prestato. Queste sono cose che dovrai rubare, prendere in prestito, o comunque pianificare come metterci le mani sopra. È possibile che qualcuno ottenga accesso a Scagliare Fatture senza i Pegni Simpatetici (per esempio, un’altra Pelle che ottenga la mossa tramite un avanzamento). In quel caso, le Fatture possono essere lanciate solamente salmodiando in strane lingue. Se scegli “la Fattura ha effetti collaterali inaspettati” da Scagliare Fatture, l’MC decide cosa sono questi effetti collaterali. Con la Fattura Illusioni, tu scegli quale tipo di illusione vede l’affatturato, ma l’MC descrive le visioni specifiche e le reazioni dell’affatturato.

In ogni ciocca di capelli, ogni sguardo furtivo, ogni bigliettino che passa di mano durante la lezione di storia, c’ è un invito. Un invito a immischiarsi. Non che le arti magiche girino attorno all’ immischiarsi negli affari altrui, non esattamente, ma è difficile non notare quanto terribilmente malleabile sia il mondo, una volta che sai una o due cosette di magia. Ovviamente, una brava strega come te sa contenersi. Una brava strega ignora tutti quegli inviti e non pensa a quanto dolci possano essere la vendetta e il controllo. Una brava strega è al di sopra di questo genere di cose. Almeno, la maggior parte delle volte.

Darkest Self Now, right now, it's time to rain stones down upon the bullies and the excluders. It's time to wreck their precious stuff, to shove them back so hard that they'll never even dream of messing with you or anyone ever, ever again. You escape your Darkest Self when you hurt one of those people more than they've ever hurt anyone else... and more than you meant to.

To transition from participating in the scene to observing it, use Disappear. Pick Icebreaker or Understanding if you want to know people better than they know you. However, it's quite possible people won't want to be around you after you use these moves on them: that's part of the tension of having powers like these. Pick The Long Fuse if you want to explore a kind of after-the-fact anger where, after you bottle it up, it comes bubbling out later as rage or selfharm. Oh, and “later” means the next reasonable opportunity. You'll see it. Your given move, Musk, will kick in whenever you sweat around people: whether it's at basketball practice, outside on a hot day, or because a cute person is talking to you. You can rid yourself of your backstory Condition just like any Condition.

Everyone around you seems to have it figured out. They flirt and joke and walk around holding hands. You don't have it figured out. When people look at you, you want to disappear.

The Sasquatch can sometimes be so good at making themselves scarce that they write themselves out of the story. To avoid this, keep your eye out for things you want to see come true, and then take a few steps in from the sideline to give those things a good, solid push.

Your Backstory You've been a wallflower all your life, but someone finally noticed you. Give them a String. Someone makes fun of you. What do they say? They give you a Condition, and you gain 2 Strings on them.

You have a distinct smell, unpleasant to some, intriguing to others. When you sweat in the presence of other people, roll with volatile. On a 10 up, the MC gives you a String on someone there and they choose: SS compliment you, SS apologize to you, SS give themselves to you. • On a 7-9, the MC gives you a String on someone there, and that character gives you a Condition, delivered in the most appropriate way.

You radiate awkwardness and people don't know how to talk around you. When someone speaks to break a silence or to start a new conversation, you may roll with dark. On a 10 up, choose two of these questions for them to blurt truthful answers to, whether or not you actually ask. • On a 7-9, choose one question and during this conversation you both blurt out truthful answers to it. SS Who do you want to make out with? SS What don't you want me to find out? SS What do you intend to do? SS What do you wish I'd do? SS What are you scared of? SS What are you ashamed of? SS Do you like me?

 Understanding When you hold someone close, gain a String on them.

Other Moves

 The Long Fuse When you or someone wrapped in your arms would take harm, you may negate that harm. If you do so, name something that you hold dear - if you don't destroy that something later, do yourself the harm then.

 Hidden In The Scenery When it appears that you're not around, you may roll with dark. On a 10 up, you're there and you remain completely unnoticed. • On a 7-9, you're there, and somebody sees. If they don't draw attention to you, they gain a String on you at the end of the scene.

 Negatives When you really, really want specific evidence of yourself to disappear, be it a physical object or something from the memory of someone with no Strings on you, roll with dark. On a 10 up, it happens. Those tracks are gone. • On a 7-9 the evidence or memory is gone, but the pieces don't all add up: a mystery remains.

 Disappear When you run away, on a 10 up you may instead choose this result: SS you slip from view and remain there, invisible. On a 7-9, add this option to the list: SS you disappear on the spot, causing wild confusion, and the witness who cares the most about you gets a String on you.

Sex Move

Playing The Wyrm

When you have sex with someone, read them this: "Choose at least one thing from this list, and for each that you choose, describe something I learn about you from our intimacy: SS Give me a String on you, and take something from my collection. SS Give me a String on you, and take a String on me as well. SS Give me a String on you, and I'll promise you anything you'd like. SS Give me a String on you, and then give me a Condition."

Controlling, manipulative, brooding, jealous. The Wyrm is a player of mind games and a dealer in social currency. It's also a rather complicated Skin, perhaps best played by those who've played before.

Darkest Self You've become too heady, too lax, too vague. You need to dominate one of the people-things that you treasure, let it know that it's yours, that it doesn't get to choose who owns it – you do. You escape your Darkest Self when your treasured thing proves that you don't own it entirely, or when you see the difference between objects and people.

During backstory, you'll be asked to select some PCs to be “merely currency” and others to be “treasure.” Metaphorically speaking, you use one to get the other. Your opinions of them can change, of course. You can't use Bargaining Ceremony to give away Strings that other people have collected on you. It's great to speak as your characters while sliding trade offers back and forth on index cards. A bargain can of course include objects, promises, and especially things from your Bait collection. Give them a good deal, get what you want, and keep them coming back. Try to keep notes about everyone's Strings on one another. A tip to keep the story rolling: after each offer or refusal, describe a detail about your poise or subtle movement - encourage your bargainer to do the same. Condition examples in Broker are from moves from the Ghost, Queen, Ghoul, Selkie, Serpentine, Heir, and Firestarter. Take this when those or other Skins with moves that generate Conditions are in your group. Remember to give out those Conditions yourself, too! With Where I Want You, the MC might have another scene occur first, but it won't include you or your obsession. To frame a scene, say these five things: where it takes place, what time of day it is, how many minutes or hours have passed since the previous scene, who's there, and what's generally going on.

You see what most miss, passing glances that tell tales of control. You've been transformed by your aching desire for power over people. They're hard to acquire all at once, but you can win them bit by bit, piece by piece, string by string. What you've changed into you're the kind of thing that runs the world. You don't have to be liked to be obeyed, or understood to be feared. There's nothing so excellent as the delicate flavor of power over others.

Your Backstory Judge each other PC as either “treasure” or “merely currency.” If they're treasure, describe the moment they caught your eye, and give them a String. If they're merely currency, take a String on them. Read them this: "Describe something off-putting that I said to you."

Strings

>> advance 

You have a collection of beautiful things – maybe zines, jazz records, or old jewelry. When you show it to someone, they inevitably find something they fancy. They will mark experience when it becomes theirs and is no longer yours. Also, choose one: SS they see something someone else would like, and when you show that someone the something, carry one forward against them, SS the time has flown by and it's hours later than you thought.

 Wingman When you wax poetic about the beauty of another PC, that other PC rolls to turn on the person you're talking to.

Other Moves

 Broker You're attuned to how people value and weaken one another. Whenever you gain a String on someone with any Conditions named in a Skin move, such as blamed, one of them, morbid, dazed, snake food, like a sister to me, like a brother to me, or moth to the flame, mark down 2 Strings on that person instead of 1.

 Where I Want You When you obsess about someone, you may spend 4 Strings on them; you'll frame the next scene either of your characters appear in. Frame a scene with just the two of you, and until you've made a move, no one else can enter and they can't leave.

 Jealous Coils When anyone gets close to someone you covet and you act territorial, roll with dark. On a 10 up, both: they lose a String on your coveted, and you gain a String on your coveted. • On a 7-9, gain a String on your coveted, and your coveted chooses: SS they give you a Condition, SS you say something you'll regret.

 Scales Once per session, you can transform into a terrifying beast of talons and coils. Give yourself the Condition secretly vulnerable. While transformed, you can roll to lash out physically with dark, except do as much harm as you like. When the scene ends, you collapse back into your human form.

The magic of Feathers lets you be partially undressed passing as someone and have sexual organs like theirs instead of yours. You can only pass as one person at a time, and when you're totally naked, you're you. Guarding the secret of your shapechanging might slow down the story. Shredding the Looking Glass provides a disincentive to uncover you; it also interacts with Close To The Sun.

Others' lives are just so fascinating. That's why you want to walk a mile in their shoes... and pants... and shirt. That's why you want to look out through their eyes, make a few promises with their voice and maybe kiss someone via those sweet lips. Look at that smile. You could be anyone.

If you have Strings that you got while passing as someone else, they can be explained as new things you've learned about that person rather than social power they've ceded to you. With That Good, your impression is so polished that those interacting with you can learn something new about the actual person you're passing as. Without it, Strings others gain on you might be fruitfully confusing. That's ok! Using A Little Bird Told Me is like shutting people down who aren't even in the scene.

Facts about real cuckoos Cuckoos parasitically lay their eggs in other species' nests. The host birds then raise the young cuckoos, often feeding them before their own young. If there isn't enough to go around, the host's own children starve. When the nestling cuckoos first hatch, many eliminate their nestmates by pushing them over the side.

Your Backstory You've stolen an outfit from someone. Record it under Outfits and gain a String on that person. Someone gave you an outfit so that you could impersonate them - discuss with them and decide why. Record it under Outfits and you each get a String on one another.

Strings

Your magic lets you pass as the person whose clothes you're wearing. When you're seen wearing someone else's clothes, but aren't yet passing, roll with hot. On a 10 up, you're passing as them - you'd fool their mother and their favorite hookup. Mark the outfit you're wearing below. • On a 7-9, same as above, but choose one: SS the magic will dissipate if you kiss or get kissed, SS the magic will dissipate if you lash out at anyone.

 Close To The Sun When someone suspects that you're not who you appear to be, mark experience.

 That Good While you're passing as someone, if anyone would gain a String on you, they instead gain it on the person you're passing as.

 Brood Parasite When you can tell that someone wants what you have, or wants to be in your shoes, gain a String on them.

 Jumping Out Of Clocks

While you're passing as someone, give social Conditions you receive to them instead. Physical Conditions still stick to you. Anyone who takes Feathers also gets Shredding the Looking Glass.

When you disrobe for someone, take 1 forward to rolling with volatile, and they choose: SS offer you an experience point to do what they want, SS trigger your Darkest Self.

 Shredding the Looking Glass

 A Little Bird Told Me

When someone suspects you're not who you appear to be, read them this: "If the enchantment were to be broken, the edges would be very sharp. You momentarily notice a gap in my magic. Choose one: SS tear my magic away - my identity is revealed and the clothes are in tatters, but you get scratched up in the process and take 1 harm, SS or, shake your head to clear it - it was nothing."

Outfits (Mark while passing as)

You can collect more than four, of course.

When you blab vicious lies about someone behind their back, roll with cold. On a 10 up, give them a Condition. • On a 7-9, give them a Condition, but some people don't believe you, so gain the Condition liar.

Sex Moves

You have three intimacy moves: When you lay your head in a virgin's lap, gain a point of Integrity and choose: SS give them 1 forward to protecting you, SS roll to turn them on. When you kiss a non-virgin, take 1 harm. When you have sex, lose all your Integrity.

Darkest Self This is it. Everything falls apart, and you can't hold it together anymore. It's not because everything is too much to bear – just that you aren't good enough. So beg their forgivenesses, everyone you've wronged by being too weak to help; and show them how sorry you are, in whatever small ways you can muster before the final curtain falls. Don't seek their acceptance. You don't deserve it. You escape your Darkest Self when someone reflects to you a glimmer of your own self worth.

Playing The Unicorn Desperate, kind, helpful, good. The Unicorn tries to be a benevolent supporting force in the world, but they don't believe in themselves. The Unicorn looks at the concept of virginity as a binary thing. Before the game starts, tell the MC what universally “counts” and "doesn't count” as losing your virginity, remembering to account for interactions between people with the same genitals. Before someone has done those things, they are a virgin. If your group fades to black instead of describing the sex acts, your MC will ask questions to clarify if characters have lost their virginity or not. Of course, players still say when their own Sex Moves occur. Speaking of, read your three intimacy moves! You start off able to gain Integrity, but perhaps have nothing to spend it on. That's ok. If your integrity stat is highlighted, you mark experience when you roll, not when you gain a point. You define what issues matter to you: start with People Should Never. Both Lesser Beasts and Hunted externalize the Unicorn's power, populating the world instead of giving them agency. If you take either of those moves, tell the MC right then what's cool about it to you. Once play is under way, the MC will control the characters from these moves. I Believe In You is for after they roll, whereas Prophecies is for before maybe well before. If you take Blessings, remind the other players that you have it. Ask about the things their characters long for using your character's voice, too.

You try so hard to help, and to be good. But you feel like a foal out on the ice and the lake is ringed by wolves and your inner warmth makes the ice beneath you weaken. One of the best things in this world and not long for it.

Sex Move

Playing The Heir

After you have sex with someone, tell them about your secret weakness or a peaceful time you shared with one of your siblings. They tell you about their relationship with death.

Scared, conflicted, desperate, violent. The Heir is about terrible sibling rivalry and unreasonable parental expectations. They come freighted with some heavy issues, and require a mature outlook to play well mechanically, it's not a Skin for firsttime players, and nor is it structured for single-session games.

Darkest Self Treason. You've just this instant put the pieces together, and not a moment too soon. There are those who've feigned kindness to you, and you've even let your guard down a little - but they didn't count on your survivor's instinct. Quickly, cleverly, before they can retreat or mount their defenses, you must strike them down unerringly. You escape your Darkest Self when your paranoia is revealed to be unfounded, or when you push away everyone who cares about you.

To keep the age differences fresh in everyone's minds, always say your siblings' ages after their names. When you make your siblings at the start, don't go into detail. Just give us their names and ages, and a glimpse of what one or two look like. The rest can be discovered later through play. For your sex move, feel free to make up new stuff about your siblings. When you transfer death to one of your siblings using Old Family Friend, the MC chooses which sibling is taken by death in your stead. See the Player Reference Sheet for info about avoiding death - something you can't do. Incidentally, you can never gain the Ghoul move Short Rest for the Wicked. It's your choice whether you tell the other players about your secret weakness or not. Either is fine. The Condition like a brother to me isn't only for use on boys, and like a sister to me isn't only for use on girls. In Or Else, the flashback is a mini-scene between you and that blood sibling, just long enough for you to tell them what to do in this situation. Or Else can't automatically interrupt other moves. The phrase "blood siblings" here means "can't be used on PCs." Other PCs can't get Birthrights. They're yours alone.

Your family has strong traditions. You've heard stories about your aunts and uncles: some of the stories remind you of you and your siblings. You all have these little gifts. Maybe your parents even have a speech about it. One's gifts should be used, they say. And if one's inheritance isn't appreciated, it should be seized instead by someone more able to see the value. Someone more fit for success in the Real World. They have an expectation that, by adulthood, you'll be an only child. Either that or one of your siblings will be.

Naming The Heir's Siblings To play the Heir, one must name their six siblings. To support the player who wishes to have their siblings named in the same culture as their own name, I offer this humble collection. Lists are of boy names, unisex names where possible, and then girl names.

Each list is titled with a first-and-last name pairing from the Heir as well as the culture those names were taken from. I've sought names that read correctly with only an American understanding of English, and restricted myself to the acute accent.

Sex Move

Playing The Neighbor

When you scream out someone's name during sex, gain a String on them.

Uncertain, messy, helpless, undecided. The Neighbor is all about making choices, pushing others into making choices, and throwing themselves into situations that won't necessarily end up in their favor. Play this Skin if you're not too worried about having the game reward you mechanically, but you want interesting things to be happening all around you all the time.

Darkest Self You feel... you feel like a monster. What kind of monster do you feel like? A werewolf, a vampire, a ghost, a queen... it can be anything you can think of. Tell the MC, and they'll hand you that Skin or the closest thing to it. It can be different each time. Read their Darkest Self: you are drowning in metaphor. Choking on it. Your body isn't supernatural, but you're gonna take it right to the line. You become that Darkest Self.

Advancement

Take another Neighbor move. Take another Neighbor move. Take a move from another Skin. Take a move from another Skin. You've started a Special Interest Club. Add 1 to Hot (max 3). Add 1 to Cold (max 3). Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

Sometimes when you watch scary movies you wonder if monsters and creatures and things from beyond the grave are really real. It freaks you out pretty bad. But then you just snuggle down onto the couch with all your friends and know that everything is going to be alright.

Most of the Neighbor's moves include something to choose, and lots of those choices might bite the Neighbor instead of assisting them - that's what kind of a mess you are. The moves to the right of the page are the ones in which another player makes a choice. Hints: make others decide everything for you, and never settle with their decisions. Remember to gaze into the abyss, even though you're not a monster. Whenever one of your moves trigger, read the whole thing aloud (except for the list in Nap Fan - it's too long.) Transparency is very important when playing the Neighbor. Show everyone how to push your buttons. With Mixed Messages, the Neighbor is making assumptions about the other character's intentions. The two parts of it aren't symetrical - if you fail to shut them down, that doesn't mean they're turned on. If you choose Precarious, read the move aloud. Also, use your character's voice to drop none-too-subtle hints about presents you'd like, and beg for another chance where appropriate. Be prepared to remind the other players about the move.

Sex Move

Playing The Selkie

When you have sex with someone, it counts as submerging yourself in water. Since all oceans tell you their secrets, gain a String on someone else they’ve had sex with.

Confused, homesick, beckoning. Their moves evoke homesickness and draw elemental power from bodies of water. Selkies have an inner yearning that other people instinctively respond to.

Darkest Self People have mistreated you and made you an outcast here. It’s time to show them how it feels to be lost at sea, to be apart from the things you have loved, to have parts of your identity stolen from you. So you will flood the Earth. You will destroy what they cherish. And you will take their pelts. You escape your Darkest Self when this place reminds you of home, or when you recognize what you came here for.

Advancement

Revised Version

This Skin written by Jackson Tegu photographsoflightning.com/mhss

The Selkie is a creature caught between kingdoms. When she removes her pelt she appears human and can walk the land as humans do. When she dons her pelt she resembles a seal and can return to the ocean kingdom. Except, if she returns to that ocean kingdom, she can’t leave again.

The weight and crash of the water was your first home. There are times you miss it terribly, and raise your keening voice, and those that can hear are moved... closer. You have a removable pelt that you were born in beneath the waves. When you wear it, you look just like a seal. And when you remove it, you feel raw and beautiful. You’re living on land now, far away from everything you’ve known; shocked by newness and possibility, burdened by longing and the tyranny of choice. The air moves fast over you. What do they call it? Ah, wind.

When your seal pelt is missing, you are still able to enter the water and swim as well as a human can. Outer Skin doesn’t work, but all your other moves do. Mechanically, it’s great for you when someone else has your pelt. If you throw yourself into doing the tasks they put before you, Their Word will provide Strings, bonuses, and plenty of interesting situations. It also gives you a reason to care about the same things other characters care about. Forcing them to return it might not be as fun. Your sex move counts as submerging yourself in water for Body of Water, as being soaking wet for Siren Song, and would easily trigger Salt if you were crying. Outer Skin states that if you return to your homeland, the character’s story is over and you need to create a new character. This only applies if The Selkie returns home to its family and its former life. Merely swimming around in the ocean won’t trigger this requirement.

Your Backstory You’ve seen someone swimming, but they either didn’t see or didn’t recognize you. Gain a String on them. Someone stole your pelt, withholding it from you to make you their errand boy. They said they'll give it back. Each gain a String on one another, and they say the first task they've given you.

People can steal your pelt, but never destroy it. When someone withholds your pelt and demands that you do something for them before they’ll give it back, add 1 to rolls you make in pursuit of that task. If they don’t return your pelt, take a String on them, and they'll give you another task.

Strings

 Body of Water When you go a day without submerging yourself in water, take 1 harm. Whenever you submerge yourself in water and can relax, heal 1 harm and 1 Condition.

 Catch of the Day Whenever you don’t understand what’s going on or what someone means, and it gets you into trouble or leads you to make unwise choices, mark experience.

Other Moves

 Siren Song When you’re soaking wet, you can sing a haunting song and roll with cold. On a 10 up, all who hear it stumble entranced toward you, though a character that takes harm will stop suddenly and gain the Condition dazed. • On a 7-9, all who hear it stumble entranced toward you until they would face harm or physical danger, and then they choose: SS press forward and take the harm, SS or stop suddenly and gain the Condition dazed.

 Salt Whenever your tears mix with water, roll with dark. On a 10 up, choose someone you want to see. They show up, with or without reason. • On a 7-9 they still do, but they have the Condition drained and they bring trouble with them.

 Ocean’s Breath When you feel homesick, roll with cold. On a 10 up, choose one for the MC to detail: SS the ocean brings forth something that it thinks will make you feel better, SS the ocean takes away something that it thinks is bothering you. On a 7-9, choose as above, but the ocean doesn’t understand the human world very well and causes serious or unexplainable damage in the process.

Sex Move

Playing The Beast

Immediately after you have sex with someone, you become your Darkest Self and lash out physically at your partner. You may then choose to keep lashing out or run away.

The Beast is all about repression. You’re that kid who bottles up her passions, who’s terrified of intimacy, and whose emotions are so locked away that when you do finally let them out, they explode with a horrible, uncontrollable intensity. In this case, you’ve got a good reason, because your passions turn you into a killer animal.

Darkest Self You are an animal. No trace of your human body or mind remains, only your most primal emotions - lust, fear, anger, jealousy, hatred. You are drawn to anyone you have such intense feelings for, but your only means of interacting with them is to savagely attack them. If you can’t find someone you know, any target will do. You cannot escape your Darkest Self until you take a life.

Advancement m Take another Beast move. m Take another Beast move. m Take a move from another Skin. m Take a move from another Skin. m You’re part of a Bloodline of Beasts. m Add 1 to Hot (max 3). m Add 1 to Cold (max 3). m Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). m Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

The one aspect of your human personality that never goes away is your emotional connection to others. It just turns twisted and malicious when you are your Darkest Self or are Feral with no impulse control, you’ll go out of your way to hunt and attack that teacher who humiliated you, that boy you have a crush on, or that girl who flirted with the boy you have a crush on. When you return to normal, you’ll probably be horrified - but some small secret part of you will have enjoyed it, and can’t wait to be let out of the cage again. Be careful about taking the Moves that make it easier to go Feral if you want your transformations to be rare! On the other hand, if you take moves that give you extra options while Feral, you’ll likely want to make it easier to gain the condition. If you take the advancement that gives you a gang, you will discover a group of other Beasts who also suffer from your condition. Sex with another Beast doesn’t trigger your Sex Move, which might sound tempting - but if you are part of a cursed bloodline, they’re also at least somewhat related to you. They might not care, and may pursue you anyway, if this is a type of subplot you’re comfortable playing out.

They call you frigid. A prude. An ice queen. Your friends think you’re just too uptight, and you’d be fine if you’d just loosen up a little. Have some fun. Let yourself like someone. But you know the truth. When you let go - when you lose control, even for a moment - you can feel yourself starting to change. The terrible animal in you is always roaring at you, always trying to claw its way out. And when it gets out, people get hurt. And the worst part? Sometimes you kind of like it.

Beast Moves

You take this one, and choose two more: l Caged Heat Whenever you are turned on (especially as a result of having turn someone on used on you), your inner beast begins to assert itself. You gain the condition Feral, and for as long as you have that condition you may use Hot instead of Volatile to lash out physically. You can attempt to hold steady in order to remove this condition. Additionally, while Feral choose two: } You mostly retain your human shape. } You mostly retain your human intelligence and personality. } You mostly retain self-control over your violent and malicious impulses. m Green-Eyed Monster Your Caged Heat move is triggered by intense jealousy, anger, or hatred in addition to by being turned on. m Scaredy Cat Your Caged Heat move is triggered by intense fear, shame, or sorrow in addition to by being turned on.

(Gaze Into The Abyss)

Your Backstory Two of the others have asked you out in the past, but you turned them down. Take a string on each of them. You try not to have strong feelings about anyone. No one else can start with more than one string on you.

Strings

Other Moves

m Beauty and... You can spend a string on someone to simultaneously turn them on and shut them down. Roll once and apply all the results; you may choose whether to use Hot or Cold for this roll. On a miss, they choose one: } They carry 1 forward against you. } They shut you down as if they’d rolled a 10 up. } They turn you on as if they’d rolled a 10 up, triggering your Caged Heat move. m Tooth and Claw If you are Feral and have lost your human shape, add 1 to your roll when you shut someone down by frightening them or when you lash out physically. m Fight or Flight If you are Feral and have lost your human intelligence, when you lash out physically and roll 10 up you can pick two options. You can use Cold instead of Volatile to run away. m Predator and Prey If you are Feral and have lost your impulse control, carry 1 forward against anyone who has a string on you. Take a string on anyone at whom you lash out physically and inflict harm. m Cat’s Eye When you look into someone’s eyes and gaze into the abyss, on a 10 up add this option: You know their deepest fear or secret lust, and add 1 to your roll when using that information to shut them down or turn them on.

Sex Move

Playing The Calaca

When you have sex with someone, treat it as though you had used the move Casting the Bones (even if you don’t have that move) and rolled a 10 up. Choose three options instead of two.

You’re a disarming mixture of cute and freakshow, a cheerful friend dressed in funereal blacks, a wise confidante who can’t resist telling dead baby jokes, a poet who writes odes to death and decay in a journal festooned with Hello Kitty stickers, a Manic Pixie Dead Girl (or Boy).

Darkest Self Enough hiding behind a mask of sweetness and humor. You are Death, so start acting like it. You’ve spent far too much time teaching others not to fear death and not enough time teaching them to embrace its peace and beauty. Twist your advice; make them see the unrelenting misery and futility of their lives and encourage them to end their pain with their own hands. You escape your Darkest Self when someone manages to show you the beauty and joy of life, or when you drive someone to commit suicide.

Helping the people you care about especially by giving them wise guidance - should be one of your main priorities. Your story is the story of how you made other people’s stories better. Your meddling may create some drama, but that’s okay especially if it’s funny. If something bad happens to your skin, you’ll need to replace it before you can pass for human again (unless you have the Sugar Skull move). The method for obtaining a new skin is up to you, but keep in mind that your human form will look like whoever supplied your replacement skin. If you take the Ossuary move as an advancement, you’ll need to explain where the extra bones came from and where you keep them. Once you actually use the move, the replacement bones will change your nature somewhat. In addition to picking a new move, you may want to display new or altered facets of your personality. If you take a Skeleton Crew as an advancement, you’ll need to decide if your gang consists of other Calacas like yourself, or if you have a number of mindless, animated skeletons who act as your minions.

It really isn’t as bad as you might think. You don’t have to watch your weight, for instance. You can wear what you want and never get hot or cold. You never have to pee. Sometimes you miss getting the ofrendas, but it’s cool to help people out, push them along the right paths, without asking for anything in return. Better to keep the truth secret, though. Your friends can handle you as an oddly perky goth. You’re not sure a walking, talking skeleton would be quite as popular.

Your Backstory Someone saw you slipping out of your skin. Each of you take a string on the other. You gave someone advice that changed their life for the better. Take a string on them.

Strings

Calaca Moves

You start with this one and choose two more: Skin and Bones You can slip out of your skin and viscera at any time to reveal your true skeletal form. If anyone witnesses this process, you each take a string on the other. While in your true form, you take no harm from anything that a skeleton would be immune to (stabbing or slashing, strangling, etc). You cannot turn someone on or manipulate an NPC, but you can use Dark instead of Cold to shut someone down. If your skin is lost or destroyed while you’re out of it, you will have to obtain a replacement in order to pass for human again. m Casting the Bones When you are offering wisdom, guidance, or advice to a friend and you gaze into the abyss, add the following options when you roll 10 up: } The visions show what your friend must do; they carry 1 forward. } The visions heal your friend; they may remove one condition. } Take a string on your friend. Add the following option when you roll 7-9: } The visions are lucid and detailed, but your friend takes a string on you.

Other Moves

m Connected In your true form, you can disconnect and reconnect your bones at the joints, and retain full control over all your body parts regardless of whether they are connected. Only your skull can see, hear, or smell; your limbs and other bones are limited to a sense of touch. You can use this ability to be present and active in multiple simultaneous scenes. m Deadpan Your cheerful morbidity, gallows humor, and deathly aura are fascinating and off-putting. In your human form, you can use Dark instead of Cold to shut someone down. m Morte Alata In your true form, you have a pair of bony wings. When not in use they fold up and look something like an extra ribcage on your back, but you can use them for flight despite their skeletal nature. You may use Dark instead of Volatile to run away by escaping into the air. m Ossuary You have a small cache of “extra” bones. When you take your fourth harm, you can hold yourself together just long enough to get to your stash and rebuild yourself with your spares. When this happens, clear all your harm, mark experience, and trade this Move for a different Calaca move. You may take this move again as an Advancement. m Sugar Skull In your true form, you retain some of the features of the living. You have humanlike hair, eyeballs, a nose, lips, and ears. Your face and hands look like those of a beautiful human - albeit one with skin like fine bone china. You may roll to turn someone on or manipulate an NPC, but if any part of your body aside from your face and hands is exposed, you must use Dark instead of Hot.

Sex Move

Playing The Fury

When you have sex with someone, each of you takes two strings on the other. Give yourself the condition Hopeful, and for as long as you have that condition they gain +1 ongoing toward any attempts to manipulate, hurt, or betray you.

A desperate longing to be accepted and the rage that accompanies being rejected are the central themes for the Fury. Futile Hope is like the engine that makes you go: You will need to put yourself out there, willingly trusting and believing in people even though you know you shouldn’t, and be ready to massively overreact to their inevitable betrayal. Your fellow players will have an incentive to be nice to you and then dump you, since that allows them to build up strings on you and then clear off any strings you have on them. Go along with it! Being Betrayed is to your advantage since it powers up all your Fury moves and provides lots of grist for the drama mill.

Darkest Self Nobody loves you. Nobody ever will. It’s all pain and loneliness and watching other people from the outside, and it will never change. They only pretended to like you so they could hurt you even more. There’s nothing left for you here but revenge, so burn it all down. Smash everything to pieces. Rip their secrets out and make them dance like dolls for your amusement. To escape your Darkest Self, you must be confronted by someone who has never hurt, excluded, or betrayed you, or be shown an act of kindness that seems genuine.

Think carefully when choosing your moves about what kind of walking megapsychic catastrophe you’d like to be. Firestarter doesn’t need to imply pyrokinesis; it’s just a name and can represent any ability that causes chaos and destruction. Some of the moves are more themed around telepathy or clairvoyance than the others, which might be an interesting and more subtle variation for you to try. When you are your Darkest Self, be sure to go all out with your descriptions. Your moves can affect crowds and radically alter the environment when you’re in a full-on rage, so cut loose and enjoy your revenge. Taking a Psychic Gestalt gang as an advancement changes the theme of the skin somewhat. Instead of being completely alone in your trust/abuse cycle, your whole clique consists of social misfits and rejects. You can find some solace in each other, but the added power of a gang makes the temptation to strike back against the “beautiful people” that much harder to resist - and your new buddies want revenge just as badly as you do.

You never wanted this. You never wanted to be different or special or a freak. All you ever wanted was to fit in. To be liked. To be accepted. Maybe even to be loved. Was that so much to ask? You’re not a bad person. But they wouldn’t let you fit in. They hurt you. Taunted you. Called you names. Exploited you. Betrayed you. They pushed and pushed and PUSHED and PUSHED. They’re all going to be sorry when you start pushing back.

Dark

(Gaze Into The Abyss)

Whenever someone acts kind or accepting toward you, you each take a string on the other, and you get the condition Hopeful (which replaces Betrayed if you have it). If someone you trust betrays or hurts you while you are Hopeful, lose all strings on them, replace Hopeful with Betrayed, and roll with Dark. On a 10 up, trigger your Darkest Self. On a 7-9, choose one: } Give them an additional string on you. } Take 1 harm from psychic feedback. } Trigger your Darkest Self. When you are your Darkest Self, your Fury moves are amplified. You can effortlessly affect groups of victims in the immediate area, and your destructive powers can affect large structures like buildings.

The Eye When you gaze into the abyss, add 1 to your Dark roll. On a 10 up you can choose all three options. If you are Betrayed and roll 10 up, also mark experience. If you are Betrayed and roll 7-9, choose one of the 10 up options instead of one of the 7-9 options.

Firestarter

Your Backstory You have a secret crush on someone. Take a string on them. Someone has been bullying you. Give them a string on you. Someone was kind to you once. Give them two strings on you.

Strings

Roll with Volatile to summon jets of flame, unleash destructive telekinetic blasts, instantly freeze the air, or otherwise psychically attack your tormentors. On a 10 up, do 2 harm and give your victim an appropriate condition (Burned, Frostbitten, Concussed, etc). On a 7-9, do 1 harm, give them an appropriate condition, and choose one: } Give yourself the same condition. } Take 1 harm. } Trigger your Darkest Self. If you are Betrayed, you may also carry 1 forward against them.

Poltergeist You can lash out physically using telekinesis instead of physical attacks, and your victim must roll to hold steady before attempting to run away. If you are Betrayed, do 1 extra harm when you lash out physically.

Push You can roll with Volatile to turn someone on by using empathic projection to fuck with their head. On a 10 up, in addition to giving you a string, they must follow one short-term command of your choice. On a 7-9 also give yourself the condition Creepy. If you are Betrayed, also give them the condition Enthralled.

Scanners Roll with Dark to invade someone else's mind. On a 10 up, gain a string on them, and they must honestly answer one question. On a 7-9, gain a string on them and choose one: } They gain a string on you. } You gain the condition Creepy. } You each take 1 harm. On a 6 or less, they must answer one question with a plausible lie and you must believe it. If you are Betrayed, do 1 harm to them in addition to any other results.

The Shining

You can roll with Dark to manipulate an NPC or shut someone down via telepathy instead of speech. If you are Betrayed, add 1 to your Dark roll and give them the condition Headache.

Sex Move

Playing The Pr⊗xy

When you have sex with someone, make them your new subject (even if they don’t meet the criteria), and both of you mark experience. Your new subject’s experience counts toward triggering The Sickness. Carry 1 forward toward inflicting Harm on your old subject.

You are both villain and victim. You want to survive, and if that means adding to Its list of targets, that’s what you’ll do. On a conscious level, you may be unaware of the actions you take when wearing your mask. In any case, your main goal is to torment and tantalize your subject, drawing them further into Its grasp. Use your strings on them to offer experience for investigating your clues, taking trips into the woods or abandoned houses at night, or carrying around a camera; then use The Sickness to force them to take Proxy moves when they advance.

Darkest Self You’ve become desperate now - It is closing in, and your mask isn’t working to hide you like it should. You’ll do anything to save yourself, and you know what It wants. Find someone close to your subject and offer them up - either kill them yourself in Its name, or offer them up to It directly (which may leave them dead, memorywiped, or another Proxy like yourself). You may only escape your Darkest Self when you have successfully sacrificed someone else in your place, or when your subject catches you on video and prevents you from harming someone.

If you take Cryptic Bullshit, try to describe your notes, videos, or voicemails as disturbingly and puzzlingly as possible. If you can inflict a condition, it’s a good idea to go for something like Obsessed and then dangle some experience to get them to focus on deciphering your meaning. For inflicting conditions in general, Hazy Memories is also a good choice. Don’t feel like It has to be the Slender Man. You can be stalked by the Rake, or Zalgo, or an abomination of your own design. The important thing to remember is that It needs to be both malevolent and unknowable. It takes or kills people, or messes with their heads, but you don’t have a clue as to Its actual motivations. It doesn’t really communicate with you; most of your actions should be based on guesses and observation of Its behavior. Your MC will occasionally have It spend strings to offer you experience, but the actions It wants you to take may range from the horrific to the nonsensical.

Your Backstory

Strings

You have been recording video footage of everyone without their knowledge. Take one string on everyone. Take two extra strings on your subject. You’ve also been obsessively recording yourself, and someone has discovered and watched some of your footage. That person takes a string on you. It starts with five strings on you.

You take this one, and choose two more:

m Am I Interrupting? You can spend two strings on someone to gain complete access to their home and identity. You have full access to all their social media accounts (e-mail, Twitter, YouTube, G+, etc) and may make irreversible changes to those accounts. You can also edit your target’s uploaded videos, inserting scenes, frames, audio, or text, either obviously or subliminally. You may enter their home with sufficient stealth as to record video of them sleeping, without triggering security, being discovered, or leaving accidental traces of your presence. m Cryptic Bullshit You can use Dark instead of Cold to shut someone down, but only indirectly, through sending them a written or video message. This can consist of mysterious but meaningful images, phrases written in ciphers, or recurring symbols. Add +1 to the roll if it’s against your subject.

If you roll 6 or less, It gains a string on you and you take 1 harm. m Distortion You can cause distortion in any photographic, video, or audio recordings of yourself. The distortion may range from mild static to severe interference. Anyone viewing or listening to the distorted recordings of you must roll to hold steady; results of 6 or less give the viewer the condition Fascinated. m Masky When you are masked, others must hold steady before they can attempt to turn you on, shut you down, or lash out physically at you. If they roll 10 up they may make the second roll normally. If they roll 7-9, they may make the second roll at -1. If they roll 6 or less, give them the condition Hazy Memories and they may not attempt the second roll. m Path of Black Leaves Unless you allow it, you cannot be run away from. You will always be around the next corner or hiding behind a nearby tree, or your victims will find themselves repeatedly passing through the same hallways and doors without actually getting anywhere. You may release your victims at any time.

Last week at the prom, when the captains of the football and basketball teams were making out in the locker room while their girlfriends wondered where they’d disappeared to, none of them saw you. But you saw them. Yesterday, when the calculus teacher hid in the supply closet during his prep period and snorted coke until his eyes looked like a doll’s, glassy and shining in the darkness, he didn’t see you. But you saw him. Earlier tonight, when the nerdy, sickly kid everyone picks on lured the head cheerleader into a dirty alley, sprouted fangs, and sucked her dry, they didn’t see you. But you saw them. Nobody ever notices you. But you can see everything. All the things they do when they think no-one is watching. And maybe it’s time you started taking advantage of that.

along with your wishes. Remember that if you have She’s Not There you’ll need to roll to become audible before you can flex your extortionist muscles. Give in to the temptation to do all sorts of naughty things since nobody can see you. You’re not accountable to anyone, after all. As your Darkest Self, go all out: display the chess team in the library with their fingers cut off. Paint the cafeteria with kittens’ blood. Set the boiler room to explode. Come up with the most horrific spectacle you can, and bask in the attention. You may develop a reputation - if an anonymous one - around the school. Attention paid to “The Cell Phone Blackmailer” counts as attention paid to you, so you may even encourage your urban legend status.

People will alter their paths to avoid bumping into you without being conscious of doing so. Evidence of your presence is ignored - if you are dripping wet or standing in a snowdrift, no-one will notice the puddle or footprints (but someone entering the scene after you have left will notice, and can point out the evidence to others, at which point they can see it). Cameras and other recording devices - anything nonsentient - can still register and record you. If you want to make yourself known to others, roll with Cold. On a 10 up, you can interact with others for one scene. On a 7-9, you stay invisible, but you can make yourself noticed by whispering, writing notes, or pushing people or furniture around. On a miss, become your Darkest Self.

Unseen Moves

See Through You You are perfectly transparent. Nothing can see you, including cameras. This only affects your body, not anything that you are wearing or carrying, so to be completely invisible you will need to be nude. You can still be heard, smelled, or felt, and evidence of your presence (footprints, floating patches of paint, etc.) may give away your location. If you want to interact with others normally, you will need to wear bandages or a mask, or cover your exposed skin with makeup. If you are disguised in this way and your true invisible nature is exposed, roll with Cold. On a 10 up, you can retain self-control and beat a hasty retreat, leaving viewers wondering what they just saw. On a 7-9, you are enraged and embarrassed. All onlookers get a string on you. On a miss, become your Darkest Self.

When you observe someone doing something they’d rather keep secret, take a string on them. When you spend a string to offer someone experience, keep the string if they refuse.

Grand Guignol When you do something violent, perverse, or sadistic in order to attract attention, roll Volatile. On a 10 up, mark experience and treat anyone seeing or experiencing your handiwork as if you had shut someone down and rolled 10 up. On a 7-9, treat them as if you’d shut someone down and rolled 7-9, but also choose one: } They gain a string on you. } Gain the condition Urban Legend. On a miss, your atrocity is blamed on someone else. Become your Darkest Self. If you are already your Darkest Self, gain the condition Enraged.

Out of Thin Air When you are invisible and lash out physically, add 1 to your Volatile roll. Others take -1 to attempts to lash out physically at you.

Threatening Whispers You can roll with Cold to manipulate an NPC by threatening to expose their secrets. Also add 1 to your Cold roll to shut someone down.

Vanishing Act You can always run away from someone without having to roll, but choose one: } They take a string on you. } You take 1 harm. } You gain the condition Urban Legend.

Voyeur You may spend a string on someone to insert yourself into any scene that person is in. When you gaze into the abyss about someone you have strings on, spend a string to change a miss into a 7-9, or a 7-9 into a 10 up.

Sex Move

Playing The Anansi

When you have sex with someone, they gain the Condition entangled with you...you decide if this means physically, socially, emotionally, as part of your schemes, or any combination of those. This counts as entangled, for purposes of other moves.

Calculating, confusing, mischievous, selfish. The anansi is a compulsive user. Even when they recognize this about themselves, even when they know they could just ask someone for something, they usually won't. It’s not about trust necessarily, it’s a matter of power and amusement.

Darkest Self Your spider nature asserts itself and you assume your true form. All the games are over now...you will seek your (possibly not-so) Hidden Agenda to the exclusion of all other pursuits, even if it is beyond your reach, and everyone who gets in your way will find themselves entombed in silken sarcophagi. To escape your Darkest Self someone must stand in your way and make you laugh, or make you think.

Hidden Agenda is chosen during the first session and should be drawn from the content of actual play. It doesn’t have to be (probably shouldn’t be?) something you need so much as something you think would be funny, cool, or interesting...maybe something just to see if you can get away with it. Or maybe it was provoked but your response is completely out of line with the offense against you. Jack keyed your car? Then obviously it’s time to destroy that motherfucker. Shame On Me lets you be a selfish conniving prick. You can take the String on anyone - it's up to them to make the disappointment happen but the important thing to remember is that they have to hopes and expectations to be be betrayed in the first place, and you have to be aware of them. Web Of Life is a tricky move because it exists outside the normal scene structure. You can use it from outside an active scene to insert your presence into it, or from inside a scene to view other peoples' scenes that may never have been given any onscreen attention otherwise.

There are spiders and there are flies, and you are a spider. You are the weaver of webs both physical and spiritual, and while you may play the fool, you always get what you want... eventually. Sometimes you feel bad. Some of the flies are neat, after all. Sometimes you want to help them. Sometimes you even do help them. But eventually you always come back to what’s really important...how they can help you.

Soul Eater, Sun-Blessed, and Tana Leaves all fulfill a similar narrative function (explaining how you stay awake, active, and healthy), so consider only choosing one of the three and using your other choice on a more active move - unless you have a good reason to double up. If you take Cursed Idols, be sure to play up the idea that you have this collection of unique magical artifacts. Don’t just say “I put a condition on her.” Instead, aim more for “I use the Amulet of Khepri to curse her with the smell of dung!” Remember, because of your rightful status, any use of the artifacts is justified, no matter how selfish or cruel it may seem to others. If an item’s curse ends up screwing you over, it’s not because you did anything wrong - obviously it’s a problem with that specific artifact, and next time you’ll be sure to use a different one. If you take the advancement that gives you an Ancient Cult, you have the aid of a group of fanatics who have been guarding your sleeping form for centuries. They may sometimes be overzealous in their protectiveness, but they can be a good source of new cursed artifacts or tana leaves.

Once you had it all. Wealth, power, station, the adoration of the people, love, magic. You were in your rightful place, at the head of the table, and it was good. Then it was all taken away from you, leaving you with nothing but darkness and the slow passage of millennia. Now you’ve awakened, and while the world has moved on, some things never change. You’ll have your rightful place again, and you know exactly how to get it.

Playing The Succubus

When you have sex with someone, you always bring them to their climax. If you reach it too, lose all Strings on them; if not, they lose all Strings on you.

Lonely, heartless, public, dangerous. The Succubus is a living temptation: she’s always there to give you what you want, to make up for your weaknesses, to save you the trouble of becoming a better person. All you have to do is ask. And every time you ask, she takes something from you and becomes more powerful.

Darkest Self Maybe you’re not using the others; maybe they are using you. You are their whore, you always have been; why not to behave appropriately, then? You give yourself to anybody who wants you, even if you loathe them, because every time is a hit on your disgusting self. You don’t react when mistreated, because you deserve it. You escape your darkest when somebody shows you unconditioned kindness or six days pass, whichever comes first.

Advancement

This Skin designed by:

Ernesto Pavan

The Succubus is used to buy friends, not to make them. When she doesn’t have Strings on somebody, her power towards them is very limited. Beware.

Everybody wants you. They come to you begging for a moment of pleasure in the school’s toilet, or a help to conquer the girl of their dreams, or the strength to vanquish their foes. Of course, they don’t really love you: they love what you can give them. But isn’t “love” just a nicer way to say that?

The Gift of Protection works even against moves that don’t affect the bearer directly. For example, if an Infernal uses the power flows through you to gain +2 to a move made against the bearer, the latter can spend the Gift and deny her the bonus (and somebody should really start wondering about what games are the Dark Powers really playing...). The Gift of Wealth doesn’t make money appear out of nowhere, but arranges for wealth to come into the hands of the bearer, usually through the path of least resistance.

The Succubus

Addictive, unlike a Sex Move, doesn’t require a full sexual act to activate. I’m sure everyone knows what I am talking about. Be careful with this move: it may add a lot of erotic content to a Season, something not everyone is comfortable with.

Your Backstory Somebody asked you for a Gift and did something really bad with it. Ask them what and take 3 Strings on them. One of them caught you by surprise by doing something for you without asking anything in return. This cannot be. You’re going to discover why, but right now, ask them what they did and give them two Strings on you.

When you have time and intimacy with someone, you can bestow them one of the Gifts of Hell. They must be willing. If they accept, you take a String on them and they gain the possibility to spend the Gift in order to gain a nice bonus. When the Gift’s is spent, you mark experience. You can bestow Gifts to everyone you like, but nobody can have more than one Gift bestowed on them at once.

When you give physical pleasure to somebody else, they gain the condition addicted to [your name].

 Just This Time When you spend a String to offer someone to mark experience if they do something against the community’s moral and sexual standards, and they accept, mark experience.

 My Bitch When you have 4 or more strings on somebody, gain 1 to all rolls against them.

When you spend a Gift to get an automatic 10 on a move that would normally make you roll with an highlighted stat, you don’t mark experience. Such is the price for relying on Hell’s power instead of your own.

 Unfazeable Beauty When you hold steady, roll with Hot.

 Shapeshifter You can change your body’s shape and appearance to look like a specific individual or just different from your “usual” look.

Other Moves

Sex Move

Playing The Angel

When you have sex, you are reminded of your purpose here on earth. Lose one of your Skin moves and gain a different one.

Arrogant, powerful, conflicted, special. The Angel has been cast out of heaven, and is forced to make a decision between their own agenda and the forgiveness of their lord.

Darkest Self

The Singleton Rule applies to gaining Trespass and Forgiveness. You can only gain one of each in any given scene.

You've fought so hard to distance yourself from the lord, to establish autonomy and indepedence. In doing so, you've unwittingly stumbled into the service of another power greater than yourself. You will carry out their will as if it were your own. Whenever possible, you'll convince yourself that you're doing this of your own volition. You escape your Darkest Self when you realize who's been tempting you down this dark path, and beg others to save you.

Advancement

Take another Angel move. Take another Angel move. Take another Angel move. Take a move from another Skin. Take a move from another Skin. You belong to a Rogue Choir. Add 1 to Hot (max 3). Add 1 to Cold (max 3). Add 1 to Volatile (max 3).

When you use Profane Powers or Grace and Brilliance, the reset to 0 reflects how draining the experience of using those powers can be.

You aren’t welcome in heaven right now. You’re locked out of its gates, and the lord isn’t ready to take you back yet. He wants you to redeem yourself first. You’ve got all of his expectations and conditional acceptance on one hand, and all of your own might and desires on the other. Is it better to subjugate yourself to a higher power, or to live in autonomy and sin? He wants you to redeem yourself. Will you?

Other Skins can take any of the Angel's moves. If the character doesn't have Cast From Heaven, they won't have a Trespass and Forgiveness score, and so will have to roll with 0 whenever asked to roll with one of those two stats. Positive scores for Trespass count as negative scores for Forgiveness, and vice versa. For example, when the marker is set to Forgiveness 2, Trespass is set to -2. When you choose to Gaze Into Heaven, decide which version of the move you will be rolling before you roll. The MC may question why it is that you're rolling the version you selected - how you're either being a faithful servant or spurious child. Your gang (Rogue Choir) is likely a group of angels that are stranded on earth, just like you are. Alternately, it might be a choir of angels in heaven, who have chosen to subversively collaborate with you.

 Grace and Brilliance When you are at 3 Forgiveness, you are able to call upon blessing and divine might. Add 7 to your next roll. After rolling, reset the Trespass/Forgiveness scale to zero, and gain the Condition drained.

 Gaze Into Heaven When you gaze into heaven, as a servant of the lord, roll with Forgiveness. On a 10 up, you are filled with his voice, and may ask him for guidance or command. Carry one forward to whatever you’d like. • On a 7-9, you are greeted by one of his emissaries, who will impart to you a mission. Carry one forward to completing that mission. When you gaze into heaven, as a spurious and hateful child, it counts as gazing into the abyss. On a 10 up, add this option to the list: the visions show you what the lord fears most from you, and you carry 1 forward to realizing that fear. • On a 7-9, add this option to the list: the visions show you how you have upset or bewildered the lord.

Playing The Psychic Intrusive, nosy, secretive, controlling. The Psychic reads minds to steal secrets and take control of others’ lives, because it’s easier than actually understanding their peers. Both the Psychic’s stat options have Dark 2; they’re creepily insightful and secretive by default. Which one you choose depends on whether they’re the kind that always knows what people want to hear (Hot 1) or what they don’t want to hear (Cold 1). Either way, low Volatile makes them bad at direct confrontation. The answers you get from Nothing to Hide are never flat-out lies, but they don’t have to be the whole picture. Don’t worry too much about being wrong; even if you’re jumping to conclusions, you still get 1 forward for it. Psychometry triggers on anything personal -- looking through someone’s texts, rooting through their bag, et cetera -- as long as you’re doing it without permission. For the MC and other players: consider what your characters’ “inner voices” sound like. When they tell the unfiltered truth, how is it different from how they present themselves to other people? What does a mind feel like, exactly?

The Psychic Everyone has to wonder what other people are thinking. Everyone except you. You cut past half-truths and equivocation to the unspeakable reality; if you concentrate, just a little, the world of the mind opens to you like a flower, to be plucked (or picked apart) at your leisure.

Credits This is a fan Skin for Monsterhearts 2, designed by Diane Geiszt Check out the game at buriedwithoutceremony.com

The problem is that when you discard that layer of secrecy (what other people might call privacy), the comfortable lies go too. You start realizing what people think of you, unfiltered by politeness, fear or kindness. The world you live in is as transparent as glass. And just as fragile.

 Nothing to Hide When you look at someone and try to understand what they’re thinking, you read their mind. Ask them one, which they answer honestly: Who are you thinking about? What do you want to do? What’s keeping you from what you want? What are you avoiding? Why are you acting like this? You carry 1 forward to act on their answer. Anyone you read feels uneasy, and takes the neurotic condition. When you read someone who’s neurotic, roll with Dark. On a 10+, as normal. On a 7-9, choose one. The answer you get is misleading and alarming. They realize you’re invading their mind, somehow. You become your Darkest Self.

 The Number You’re Thinking Of When you reveal to someone that you know one of their dark secrets, mark experience.

 Transmitter You can telepathically share your thoughts and senses with anyone within a few blocks.

 Scanners When you read someone’s mind, you can take 1 harm to ask any question you like instead of one from the list.

 Heard Enough When you tell someone with neurotic to shut up and spend a String on them, they can’t talk until either one of you takes harm or the scene ends.

Sex Move

Playing the Enchanted

When you sleep with someone add “Please *this person*” to your orders.

Obedient, meek, constrained, vengeful. The Enchanted is burdened with service to the whims of others but learns subtle power of manipulation.

Darkest Self It’s too hard to fight. Everything would be easier if you just stopped struggling and gave up your illusions of hope and choice. You follow all orders without resistance and as directly as possible, regardless of how harmful it is to you or others. If not directly compelled to do something, seek out someone who will tell you what to do. Escape your Darkest Self when you see how miserable your obedience has made those you care about or you find something worth fighting for.

Advancement Take another Enchanted move. Take another Enchanted move. Take a move from another Skin. Take a move from another Skin. You have Friendly Overseers. Add 1 to Hot (max 3). Add 1 to Cold (max 3). Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

It is up to the player and the MC to determine what a proper order for Obedience entails (Some specific phrase like “I wish” or “I command you to”, or be in possession of a specific item?). You may also want to discuss what can or cannot be ordered either in narrative or because of the player being uncomfortable (Can orders dictate thoughts or emotional states? Can the character be ordered to sleep with someone against their will or kill another character?).

You want to say no but you can’t. It’s just not in your nature. You’ve made excuses and found tricks to fight back, but in the end you always do what you are told. So for now you will be the good servant they think you are and keep you eyes open. After all, just because you couldn’t say no doesn’t mean you can’t get even.

The Enchanted

A player can attempt to resist an order when it is given, or whenever they are compelled to follow it. Wishes provides a guide for how the MC should push the story forward but not ever control other player actions. Your Enchanted Item indicates a hint at the source of your affliction/gift.

Sex Move

Playing the Alien

If you have sex with someone, you touch their essence. You can copy something about them (Skin Moves, Sex Move, Darkest Self) and use it just once as your own.

Weird, Unnatural, Powerful, Hunted. The Alien is persecuted and lives under the burden of an isolating secret that gives them great strength while separating them from everyone else around them.

Darkest Self Too much has happened, too many people know. It’s all come crumbling down around you. Time to take actions and turn the tables. Hunt down those out to get you and make them pay for turning your life upside down. Until they are dealt with no one can be trusted. Distance yourself to any who know your secrets, if confronted by them do whatever you can to keep them from spreading it, even if that means drastic measures. You escape your darkest self when you deal with someone out to get you or someone convinces you they can be trusted

Advancements o Take another Alien move. o Gain an additional ability. o Gain an additional ability. o Take a move from another skin. o You find Others like you. o Add 1 to Hot (max 3). o Add 1 to Cold (max 3). o Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). o Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

“Extraordinary” accomplishes tasks that are purely narrative and cannot affect game mechanics or directly affect an unwilling character.

You aren’t like the others. If they knew you, even the freaks would think you’re freaky. Sometimes being you is a blessing, but it’s usually a curse. If people around you knew the real you, things would change. Maybe nothing big at first, but eventually they would come to hate you. Everything would be better if you weren’t ‘special’.

The Unnatural Healing effect can be used to heal someone to save them from death as soon as they take their final point of harm. Probability Manipulation cannot force a re-roll and then declare that re-roll results in partial success in a single use. If they are attempting to do so they must make two separate uses of the power. Prime Directive can be triggered by jumping in to take part in a fist fight or simply by taking sides in an argument they previously were not a part of.

Sex Move

Playing the Bacchus

Ask your partner what their deepest, darkest desire is. If they lie, gain one string on them; if they tell the truth, gain two strings on them.

As the Bacchus, everyone knows your name - you threw that killer party last year, or maybe you know where to get the latest pills. Whatever it is, most people want to be around you; but some may disapprove of your lifestyle (not that you care).

Darkest Self Nobody takes you seriously; they think you’re just good for parties. You’re going to make sure everyone knows not to mess with you...

You are an important part of your Maenads’ lives. They absolutely adore you, but you may not necessarily feel the same way -- they . However, if someone hurts them, they will regret it. They’re an extension of you, but not that important; like a toenail.

“As you wave your thyrsus, revere the violence it contains. All the earth will dance at once...goaded on by Dionysus.” You are a popular party animal with a dark side. Something happens to you when you’re in the throes of pleasure - maybe you’re addicted to it; maybe you’re trying to get other people addicted to a thrill only you can supply. But one thing’s for sure if anyone gets on the wrong side of you, they’re going to pay big time.

There are a few ways to play the Bacchus. An obvious one might be to play it as a complete party animal stereotype. For this, combine Hook Me Up with Party People, Put Your Hands Up.

The Bacchus

You can also embrace the darker side of the Bacchus with I Am A Jealous God and Can’t Hold Their Wine. This will make you lean towards a more controlling, malicious character that uses pleasure to make people do what the Bacchus wants.

Sex Move

Playing the Cassandra

Enter your Darkest Self.

The Cassandra is doomed from the getgo. Whatever happened to give you the ability to see the future, it has changed your life for the worse.

Darkest Self The pointlessness of fighting your fate overwhelms you and you descend into a spiral of despair, bewailing your fate - literally. You beg everyone around to save you, because you know that you are helpless. You leave your Darkest Self when someone who didn’t believe you changes their mind.

If you want a Cassandra that is trying to resign themselves to their fate, try choosing Prophesy and How Could You? These will help you to emotionally manipulate those around you -- maybe they will try to protect you out of the goodness of their hearts.

“And now the prophet god is done with me. He has led his seer to her place of death...” You’ve seen your own death. You know how it all ends for you. Everyone tells you not to be so morbid, that you’ve been watching too many horror movies - but you know it’s true. It’s what you do until then that counts.

If you’re going down fighting, choose Jimmy’s Stuck Down The Well and The End Is Night to boost your opportunities to try to intervene in or escape bad events. mm Thou, Destroyer Named can go well with either of these, as it shows the impact of your fate on the people around you.

mm The Die Is Cast

Hot: 1, Cold: -1, Volatile: -1, Dark: 1

Your ability to Gaze Into The Abyss is more complex than the other characters. On a 10+, you get a lucid and detailed vision of the future and carry +1 forward when you act on this vision. If there are other characters in your vision, give them the condition fated to X - for example, if your vision has a character dying, give them the condition fated to die. Other characters can use these conditions for a + 1 to make the vision come true. On a 7-9, pick one: • you get a vague and alarming vision of the future • you get a lucid and detailed vision of the future but gain the conditions disbelieved and drained • you get a lucid and detailed vision of the future but NPCs (and PCs if appropriate) get +1 if they stop you acting on your vision.

mm Jimmy’s Stuck Down The Well! When something bad is happening (or just about to happen) somewhere you aren’t, and you want to intervene, roll with Dark. On a 10 +, you know where you need to go, and get there just in time. On a 7-9, you get there late –- in time to intervene, but not prevent it altogether. On a miss, you get there but get into trouble yourself.

mm Prophesy When you are alone with someone, you can reveal your fate to them. Roll with Hot. On a 10+, they are sympathetic to you. You both carry 1 forward on actions that involve them helping you. On a 7 - 9, they choose one: • they do not believe you, but promise to help you anyway • they believe you, but are too scared to help you themselves • they do not believe you, but you gain a string on them

mm O Thou, Destroyer Named When you get caught up in violence, roll with Dark. On a 10 up, name one person who’ll die and one who’ll live. On a 7–9, name one person who’ll die OR one person who’ll live. The MC can make your vision come true, if it’s possible. Name NPCs only. On a miss, you only get reminded of your own death. Suffer -1 to all rolls throughout the fight.

Playing the Medea

Demand that your partner helps you take down the person who betrayed you. If they refuse, gain two strings on them.

You are not liked. You’re not from around here, and you have strange ways. Everyone has been on the receiving end of your sharp tongue one way or the other, but do you care? No. You left everything behind to come to this place, and now that you can’t return, you discover there’s nothing here for you. And it’s all the fault of one person in particular. They’re going to pay.

If your partner IS the person who betrayed you, roll with Cold to confront them about their disloyalty. On a 10+, gain two strings on them if they refuse to make amends; gain one string if they do not On a 7 - 9, cause 1 harm and receive 1 harm. On a miss, trigger your Darkest Self.

Darkest Self You begin attempting to destroy everything around you, even if it’s people (especially if it’s people). You only stop if someone sympathises and apologises to you despite your dangerous rampage, or if you kill someone.

“Let no one think that I am mean or weak, nor peaceful, but of the other sort, a weight upon my enemies...” Someone betrayed you. You’re going to get your own back, no matter what it takes.

You can go fully magical with A Spell On You and Deus Ex Machina, using your dark powers to get your revenge; and Salt The Earth can be overtly magical if you like. Alternatively, be more on the scheming, short-tempered side with Sheep’s Clothing and I Used To Be Somebody.

Strings

If someone stands up for the person who wronged you, get +1 Cold to shut them down. On a 10+, you also deal them 1 harm.

mm A Spell On You When someone has thwarted you or defended the person who betrayed you, roll with Dark to curse them. Curses should: • cause no more than 2 harm • not be absolute (don’t use words like ‘never’ or ‘always’) • not directly affect characters other than the target - for example, you cannot curse someone to have their friends die Examples: “I curse you to lose your next fight.” “I curse you to forget your friends.” “I curse you to be unable to speak my name.” On 10+, your curse succeeds; your target suffers the consequences of their actions. On 7 - 9, your curse fails, but your target is aware of your intentions and gains the condition paranoid. On 6 and below, the curse rebounds on you.

Other Moves

mm Salt The Earth Roll with Dark instead of Volatile to summon all of your anger and hurt to Lash Out at the person who hurt you, as well as everyone and everything associated with them. They and all other PCs involved have to Hold Steady.

mm Sheep’s Clothing When persuading a hostile character of your good intentions, gain +1 Hot.

Playing the Hercules

Vow to defend your partner from anything that threatens them. Carry 1 forward when you do so; lose a string when you don’t (if you have no strings on them, they gain a string on you).

You’re a confident, brash young person, with the whole world at your fingertips. You’ve never had any reason to doubt yourself, and you’ve always been stronger than everyone else. Your selfesteem is unshakeable - or at least, that’s what people think.

Darkest Self Your confidence overflows and you see everything as a challenge to prove yourself. You come out of your Darkest Self when someone harms you.

“...I will first go raze this upstart tyrant’s halls, and when I have beheaded the miscreant, I will throw him to dogs to tear, and every Theban who I find has played the traitor after my kindness, will I destroy with this victorious club...” You are the strongest of the strong. Whatever comes your way, you can punch it.

You could choose to go into full-on “child of a god” territory with ‘Tis But A Scratch, Feats of Strength, and Juggernaut. You can use your powers for good or evil - maybe you have some rivals to get rid of, maybe you want to take over the school and become a benevolent dictator. For a more nuanced Hercules, use Lay It On Me to provide strength in more ways than the physical, and Rally the Troops will help you inspire loyalty. Plus, Friends In Higher Places can be used for other people as well as yourself - you can be altruistic with this, or use it to manipulate people.

On a 7-9 you get what you want and smash or move the scenery, but choose one: • Suffer 1 harm • You are disoriented and must Hold Steady before you can act again. • You leave something behind, or something unwanted comes with you. On a miss, you’re vulnerable: maybe you’re trapped, maybe you’re in the wrong place, maybe something worse.

mm Rally The Troops With this move, roll with Hot to get help from any nearby characters in a confrontation or physical endeavour. On 10+, they will attempt to help you themselves. On 7 - 9, they will go for help, but it isn’t what you need - either too late, the wrong kind of help, or someone who will actually work against you. On a miss, you’re on your own.

mm ‘Tis But A Scratch Roll with Dark to heal one harm. On 10+, you are fully healed. On 7 - 9, you heal but it leaves a nasty scar. Gain condition self-conscious.

Playing the Ganymede

Ask your partner to promise to protect you. If they agree, gain a string on them. If they refuse, gain condition pathetic and gain two strings on them.

Note: When The Ganymede is in play, make sure to ask the GM for a conversation about lines and veils/an X card. This character could easily go down the route of sexual assault, which is triggering for many people.

Darkest Self You just want things to be like they were before. Make wild promises to everyone you come across if they’ll help you make things right. You leave your Darkest Self when someone persuades you it’s not that bad.

“Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.” You were innocent, once. Then everything changed, and you’re not sure how to cope with the way things are now.

Something happened to you and changed your world forever. This could be anything from your house mysteriously burning down with everyone inside to being brought back from the dead. This character deals with adapting to a world that doesn’t feel like you belong to it. You can play this as a complete innocent who doesn’t fully understand how to use their looks - in which case, Fall At Your Feet is a good move for physical confrontations, and Who, Me? will help with verbal arguments.

The Ganymede

Cinnamon Roll can be used if you want to be a more manipulative Ganymede: aware of being strange but beautiful, and using that to your advantage. Wait WTF should be used in any situation that you wouldn’t understand properly, depending on your backstory. I’m Not Like You can help you out with difficult situations where you’re forced to act.

Playing the Orestes:

Ask your partner what the worst thing they’ve ever done is. Gain a string on them if they tell you, two strings if they don’t.

Whatever you did, it was bad - bad enough that you don’t want anyone to know, bad enough that you would be immediately ostracised. The voices are constantly tormenting you to the point of insanity.

Darkest Self The voices consume you and you become obsessed with confessing your sins and seeking punishment. You come out of your darkest self when someone forgives and accepts you.

“I am dead through misery, though I still gaze upon the sun...’Tis not my looks, but my deeds that torture me.” You did a bad thing and you can’t stop thinking about it. Now the voices are driving you mad...

Would you like to be an angry Orestes, battling with your own guilt and defiant to the end? A combination of Sugar We’re Going Down and To The Grave will help you take someone else with you in one way or another. Bitch I Might Be is a good move if you’re playing it as more manipulative than angry. With My Woes lends itself to a sadder, more desperate Orestes - maybe you’ve wanted to tell someone all along. If you use SHUT UP as well, you could play it as accidentally hurting someone’s feelings too. Playing with Family Affair adds a whole new dimension for it - will you take them both down with you, or are they all you have left? Choose wisely...

Sex Move

Playing the Fury:

You have never felt this way before and are now completely devoted to your partner. If you find out they have slept with someone else, you respond accordingly...

The Fury is a highly volatile character that enforces the rules (regardless of whether these rules are fair or even real), with very little mercy on those around them. This is why Vengeance Is Mine is a compulsory move: you are a formidable force for the authorities.

Darkest Self Everyone is a terrible person. Make sure they know it in whatever way will hurt them most. You leave your Darkest Self if someone convinces you they are innocent.

“Wrath above all, as when fiery sticks/are piled with a loud crackling by the side/of a cauldron boiling, and the water heaves/ and seethes inside...” You see injustice and crime everywhere, and you’re going to make everyone see the errors of their ways.

If you want to play along the lines of capital punishment, take Frenzy and Heartless -- you’ll get rewarded even more when you punish someone, and you won’t even feel bad about it. Who Hurt You? and I’ll Go There apply very well for those who want a character that shames and humiliates their way into a position of power over others. Say It To My Face plays on your natural intimidating presence; use it to get an upper hand in arguments. Oh yes, there will be arguments.

The Erinyes (singular: Erinys), also known as harpies, furies or dirae, are creatures of vigilantism, vengeance and violence.

The only exception to this is during your Darkest Self.

You have had enough seeking vengeance for the mewling innocents around you. The balance of justice be damned: it is time to hunt down everyone who has hurt you, denied you, belittled you. You only escape your Darkest Self when you regret punishing someone who had hurt you, or if you realize one of your victims is truly innocent.

Other Moves

Sex Move

Playing the Doctor

You learn from anyone and anything; for the purpose of interaction you are treated as having the other person’s sex move if applicable. If they have none gain a string on them when you have sex with them.

The Doctor has a central fact that no one else believes. Which gives them a distinctive perspective on the world. The Central Truth should be chosen with care - it can’t be something like “I am a monster” and The Doctor can’t prove they are right to others directly. It also needs to notably affect how the Doctor sees and interacts with the world.

Darkest Self People are weird, and you want to analyse them. Either under as complex stresses as you can manage or by picking a target, isolating them to ensure controlled conditions (a control subject is optional), then testing stress point by stress point. You leave your Darkest Self when someone convinces you they are like you in important ways.

And because everyone else is wrong about something the Doctor knows is true, they need to start from first principles in understanding what makes people tick. At least the universe is honest and works! The Doctor therefore responds by understanding and classifying people and things, and they really don’t do well with Things Unknown By (their) Science. And they will frequently follow the classification rabbit hole even when they’ve started on the wrong foot. Part of this is that they don’t know themselves (and so are much more determined when they have an image to live up to or down to). With the Darkest Self, if you isolate a single test subject be sure to check with them out of game and make sure to respect lines and veils.

You know something true that no one else believes. You’ve tried to see things from their side, and despite the fact they all think that it’s impossible they are all wrong. You are right - but how they can be so wrong confuses you. Thinks? things make sense. And maybe, just maybe if you make enough sense of things, you’ll understand. Understand them and how they think that. Or even understand yourself.

Sex Move

Playing The Medusa

When you have sex with someone, ask them to go steady. If they refuse, take two strings on them. If someone sees you in the act, gain the condition humiliated and the observer gains a String on you.

You have an axe to grind. A hard goal in mind. Your conviction in your own purity is strong, and the important part is that you’re honestly clean. Your betrayal has made you hardened, and you block people out. When you do let someone in, you want them to stay forever.

Darkest Self When you become your Darkest Self, you unleash your deadly gaze. Take the condition humiliated. Anyone who looks upon you must hold steady or suffer +1 harm. You can leave your Darkest Self when those who have harmed you in the past repent. The condition humiliated remains when you leave your Darkest Self.

The first thing you need to do is make your choice between Sisters and Gaze Upon Me. With Sisters, you have a gang, and you are never alone. From the beginning, you have people to watch your back and act as backup. Gaze Upon Me allows you to have the upper hand especially when you are threatened. Feel free to go into situations that are dangerous, because you have the strength to take charge. Stone Cold plays into your strong suit. Whenever you shut someone down it ensures you’ll have a noticable result. It pairs nicely with Whisspers, because it gives people the hard choice between sharing their secrets or bending to your will. Entering your Darkest Self is worth the exposure. Use any excuse to enter it, like the Shamed move that is triggered by humiliation, a condition that is easily gained by being caught in the act of your Sex Move. When you are your Darkest Self, you can use Pure of Heart to embrace your true identity and target those who have wronged you. Finally, don’t forget your own vanity. You’re So Vain allows you to steady yourself when you gaze into the abyss, letting your dark side guide you in the middle of conflicts and tense situations.

Someone wronged you once, and you took the punishment instead. You’re innocent. Pure of heart, but everyone sees you as tainted by lies. It’s no wonder you have a heart of stone. Gaze upon the unwashed masses and see only your own conviction. Things would be better for everyone if they would just see your truth. You have the moral high ground. Maybe you’re head of the chastity club. Maybe you are just plain good. Use others’ cruelty to prove your own innocence and further your cause. They might reveal you or lie, but when your true face shows you’re the one in charge.

Other Moves

Sex Move

Playing The Rusalka

When you have sex with someone, they gain the condition fascinated. Each of you takes a string on the other. When the other person has sex with someone else, they lose a string on you.

Some people might pursue many relationships because they love being in love, but not you. Something inside you is empty and you need to be filled. You’re sinking and you are reaching for something to save you, but you can’t help but drag people down with you.

Fascinated:

Darkest Self When you become your darkest self, you are revealed as the monster within. Take the exposed condition and do not lose it until you leave your Darkest Self. Anyone who sees you exposed for the first time gains a string on you. You exit your Darkest Self when person who is fascinated with you spends a string and takes one harm to bring you back.

You can make it easier to find love with Water’s Wife, which helps you turn people on. One of the most important goals is to have as many lovers as you can - fascinate them with your Sex Move and draw them in. That’s when you feel the most loved, and when you have the most influence. This is where you can use your Fanatics and Doe Eyes and people can see that crushes on you can be deadly.

You’re toxic. Once someone is in your arms they can’t get away. You give love freely, and take more than your lovers can give. Everyone knows that you’re bad news, but they still can’t resist you. You became what you are because once someone loved you - and then they left you for someone else. Now every relationship you have goes up in flames. You can’t help it. Love hurts.

Play hard. When you use No Pain, No Gain and Going Down with Me, you can take risks, and it always turns out better for you when it goes bad for someone else. Look for every opportunity to get yourself into trouble and never go it alone.

Sex Move

Playing The Gargoyle

When you have sex with someone, protecting them counts as protecting your school for the purposes of School Spirit, and you cannot lash out physically at them for any reason. This lasts until you have sex with someone else or they do something to cause physical harm to your school. You can’t have sex when you are dormant or animate.

First and foremost: the school mentioned in various Moves doesn’t actually have to be a school at all. It could be a church, a summer camp, a community center, a nightclub, an apartment building, or any other establishment that’s located in a specific place and has regular hours of operation and a “community” of employees, patrons, customers, members, or inhabitants. Work together with your MC to figure out what setting will work best for your particular game.

Darkest Self Nobody else loves this school like you do. They just don’t understand how important it is. You’d be nothing without it, and you’re the only one that can protect it. The basketball team that beat yours in the playoffs, the school board members who want to cut funding, the teacher who molests her students - they’re all enemies, and they all have to be punished. Severely. You can recover from your Darkest Self only when someone shows you how your actions are hurting your school.

Similarly, not all Gargoyles are stone statues in their dormant or animate forms. You could be a sculpture of metal or wood or plaster, a painting or mural, an old mascot costume or band uniform, a stained glass window, or even a digital character on a computer or HDTV screen. Anything works as long as it’s at least vaguely an anthropomorphic form, and it should be something that won’t be easily missed when you are walking around looking like a human. As a Gargoyle you’re tied to your school (or whatever), so protecting and helping it should always be your first priority. If that causes conflicts with your friends and loved ones, great - hard choices will lead to drama. Taking Kirkgrim can make this easier, as can your Sex Move. Babewyn and Grotesque can make you more flexible. Keep in mind that while Babewyn lets you be active when you normally couldn’t, it doesn’t let you look human. Hatchery also adds flexibility in a way, since you can use it to change what your dormant or animate forms look like.

You remember being a real human kid once, a long time ago. Before they built the school. Before they stretched you out on the foundation stone and cut out your heart. But you’re not so angry anymore. Now you go to classes, attend pep rallies, run for student council. You’re on the spirit squad and you’ve lettered in track. They wanted you to bless this school, and you’ve done your job well. And when vandals or thieves show up in your school at night...well, maybe you’re still kind of angry after all.

Gargoyle Moves

You get this one and choose two more: Â&#x2DC; School Spirit From sunrise to sunset (or vice versa) you appear to be a normal human being, but when your period of activity ends, you become dormant. While in this state, you are effectively an inanimate object - a statue, a painting, a mascot costume - and are invulnerable to harm, but incapable of taking any action. When not dormant, you may treat failures as 7-9 and 7-9 as 10-up when you lash out physically to protect your school building or grounds. m Babewyn During your dormant period, if someone else is on the school grounds you can assume an animate form. In this form you are an inanimate object brought to life - statues and costumes can move, paintings become 3-D, etc. While animate you take 1 less harm from anything that harms you (to a minimum of zero harm) and you get +1 to lash out physically or shut someone down. m Grotesque During your period of activity, you may transform from human form to animate form, as described in the Babewyn move. m Kirkgrim For the purposes of School Spirit, protecting the people associated with your school (students, faculty, employees) counts as protecting the building or grounds.

Other Moves

m Gullet You can vomit a gout of flame or torrent of freezing water. Roll Volatile: on a 10 up, you do 1 harm to your target and they must hold steady. On a 7-9, choose one: } You do 1 harm } You miss, but they must hold steady } You miss, but you get a string on them. On a 6 or less, you miss and they get a string on you. m Hatchery You can invest some of yourself into a single object in your school, turning it into an egg. You may only have one egg at a time. If you die, you will be reborn from the egg at the beginning of your next period of activity, with a new dormant form (and animate form if you have one) based on the egg object. Mark experience when you are reborn. m Hunky Punk With concentration you can give your human form some of the durability of your inanimate form. When you get hurt, you can hold steady. On a 7-9, you take 1 less harm. On a 10 up, you take no harm and mark experience. m Rival Schools For the purposes of School Spirit, attacking a rival school or people associated with it counts as protecting the building or grounds. m Sheela na Gig When in human form, you can roll with Cold to turn someone on or manipulate an NPC, but only if your genitals are exposed.

You open yourself up to another, the warmth of your bodies and passion thawing your heart and mind in ways nothing else can. They gain 3 Strings on you, minus 1 for each time you have slept together before (minimum of 1)

Darkest Self Nobody else matters anymore. You don’t need them, not for anything. power, money, pleasure, you can take care of yourself. Knocking others aside or snuffing out a life is just one more petty obstacle between you and what you want, whether that’s the pursuit of something or just being left alone. You escape your Darkest Self when someone convinces you that they would be willing to die to save you from others, or from yourself.

Playing The Frozen

It is so hard sometimes. No matter what you do, you always seem to push people away. Even when you dont want to, it can be so hard to share any piece of yourself...after all, if they never know you then they can never hate you for it. People just hurt each other when they get close...and the closer they become then the more it can hurt.

The Frozen is someone that needs others, but has a lot of trouble with trust and letting intimacy happen because of how scary vulnerability can be, and to be intimate means being vulnerable. While the theme intimates the ability to create cold and ice at will, how much control you have and whether it is overt ice making or just a creepy chill in the air is all fiction left up to you. Do you need to sleep in the cold? How does your skin feel? Do you freeze any liquid you touch?

Sometimes it is better to just keep to yourself...its safer that way. Safer for everyone.

Ice-Bound Heart is the core of the character. Any time you draw on the character’s greatest strengths you are also pulling away Strings that keep you connected to those around you. It also puts you at a disadvantage once you are vulnerable to others, and they can take advantage of that. Many of these Moves allow you to defend yourself or push others away, but force you to struggle to stay connected to others in order to remain sane. Chilling Beauty and Frosty Glare provide a more atmospheric cold theme, and allow you to subtly control a situation without needing grandiose displays of ice-magic. Frigid Pursuit, and Icy Blast can seem powerful with the added damage or range, but it can quickly turn against you as Ice-Bound Heart pulls Strings away from other characters with each use. Seeking Warmth and Beacon in the Storm are for characters that are trying to reach out, and trying to open up to those around them even though it’s painful to do. While this character is not the sort to join a Gang, the Collection of Golems allows the Frozen to construct a handle of minions out of snow and ice that function as one, though their demands and Trigger might be a little more outlandish than other Gangs

Your Backstory Someone fears or admires your cool strength and/or grace, gain 1 string on them. Someone suspects what you are capable of. They gain 1 String on you. There is someone that you never meant to hurt, but did. They take two strings on you.

Frosty Glare When you hold your ground either the cold look in your eyes or a supernatural chill in the air warns others away from you. When you roll to Hold Steady, on 10+ you can give someone present the “Terrified” condition in addition to the normal effects.

Frigid Pursuit When you Run Away you can choose to roll with Dark instead of Volatile, as ice erupts in bursts to guard against pursuit. If you do, then in addition to the normal results add: On 7-9 you inflict 1 Harm on everyone around you when you leave, on 10+ you inflict 1 Harm only to those pursuing you.

Volatile

Beacon in the Storm When you find someone worth caring for it can mean the world to you. The first time someone gains their fifth String on you they mark experience and gain the “Beacon” condition. The first time you gain a fifth string on a Beacon in a session you mark experience.

Winter’s Answer Your pain manifests through ice shards and cold bursts against those around you. The first time you take Harm in a scene, everyone else present takes one Harm. Either lose a String on each person injured, or they gain a String on you.

You are Hungry for Freedom, for Friends, for Power …

So you're a wizard. You would think that would be fun and games, except you've got an overbearing mentor making sure you learn magic the right way, a whole council of overbearing wizards just waiting for you to slip up and prove to them you're evil, and you're not eve n allowed to use your spells for anything fun. Well, maybe it's time to change things up. You have a power coursing inside of you, and woe be to those who stand in your way.

ď&#x20AC;˝ Sympathetic Tokens

Harm: Experience: OOOOO

Your Backstory:

Strings:

You gain power from sympathetic tokens: items of personal significance you take from others. A Sympathetic Token counts as a string and can be used to power ritual magic.

O Blackest Magic Whenever you violate a Law of Magic, gain xp.

O Toil and Trouble When you have time and access to a proper work area, you can brew up a potion. Name a condition, such as Angry, Forgetful, or Madly in Love. Whoever drinks the potion gains that condition for a few hours. Player characters must Hold Steady to resist acting in accordance with the condition. NPCs will have their sense of self dominated by that condition

O Unbidden Summoning When you whisper the true name of an entity, roll + Dark. On a 10+, they come to you, and you gain a String on them. On a 7-9, they come to you, and will listen to you. On a miss, they come to you, and are angry for the interruption.

O Witch Blood You can train your Wizard Spells Slot with Witch Hexes

O Yes Sir You start with a Familiar or Minion devoted to you (you have 3 String on It) when someone show more Love or Compassion about It, you lost this Move.

Magical Heritage Slytherin +1 Hot. When you lie, cheat, or steal to gain favour in your house; clear a Condition.

You start the game with two Sympathetic Tokens. Decide who they came from, and what they are.

Ravenclaw +1 Cold. When you use intellect to silence others, they choose: give you a String on them, gain the Condition silenced, or blurt out something stupid.

You have a Mentor who keeps an eye on you. They gain 2 strings on you.

Gryffindor +1 Volatile. When you put others at risk to pursue an ideal, they act as a Gang for you until someone gets seriously hurt. Their trigger is pursuit of this ideal.

You wish you could be friends with one of the others.They gain a string on you

Hufflepuff +1 Dark. When you let others use you to achieve an exceptional goal, mark XP.

O Elementalism (Volatile)

O Unleash the Wand (Dark)

You conjure fire, cold, or lightning. Elementalism deals 2 harm to one target, or 1 harm to everyone in an area.

You can Leash Out with Magic using Dark instead of Volatile

O Hexing (Dark) You cause a piece of technology to short out and malfunction for a few minutes. Cameras cease to record, guns jam, computers blue screen.

O Memory Wipe (Dark) You cause the target to forget a few minutes, up to an entire hour. On a 10+, you can also put alternate memories in their place.

O Transmute (Volatile) You turn something or someone into something else. A pencil becomes a knife or crowbar. A person a frog or statue. A vampire a lawn-chair. Eventually, the changes wear off. You can't create life from nothing, but you can turn living things into inanimate things.

O Veil (Dark) Veil hides you behind a web of illusions, making you appear invisible. As long as you concentrate, the spell persists

Your Wand:

O Genius Loci (Dark) If you have a Familiar you can see with Its eyes: Roll Dark 10+ Clear Vison, 7-9 Clear vision but choose: You Lose a String on It It gain a String on You Other in room feel observed by You

O Undoing Magic (Cold) You can revert a Magic or Hex. Roll Cold 10+ perfect reverse, 7-9 reverse in a strange manner (MC calls) 6- You fail: Magic can be permanent, magic can target you too, ecc …

O Parma Magica (Cold) You can parry/divert/reflect Magic at a Cost. Roll Cold 10+ Magic Fail but the Caster take Forward +1 on You, 7-9 as 10 but you’re Drained too, 6- Magic Fail and you’re Drained.

Playing The Shadow

When you’re intimate with someone, give them the Shadowed condition. If they already have it, mark experience and give them the Drained condition instead. If they already have that as well, they take 1 harm.

Secretive, manipulative, watchful, paranoid. The Shadow is all about mystery, puppeteering, and role reversal.

Darkest Self You’ve let what was outside in, and it isn’t interested in leaving. You have a ringside seat for the darkness parading around in your skin, and it doesn’t like all the friends and foes you’ve made. It needs to hurt and punish to distance itself from all those connections, and it isn’t afraid to cross as many lines as it takes to do it. While you are your Darkest Self, you can use Mine! even if you’ve never selected the move. You can escape your Darkest Self when someone recognizes you aren’t behind the wheel, or when all your strings are gone.

Skin Designed by: Jeremy Kostiew Layout by: Topher Gerkey Stock Art by: Caffeinated-Stock

The Shadow excels at conversations with the abyss and keeping others at bay. A low Hot and Volatile means you need to look to moves like Errant Shadow to be successful with violence and attraction. The Passenger encourages you to let others take strings on you, so you can share the Shadowed condition. Mine! makes those strings a liability for anyone who gets close to you, particularly when you risk Darkest Self. Whispers in the Dark makes the Shadowed condition particularly dangerous by toying with trusted game mechanics. Nyctophobia can help with the passive spread of Shadowed, but also gives you an avenue for actively pushing the condition on others.

It was your friend when you had no others. It said it would never leave you, hurt you, betray you. It was always there for you. They said you’d grow out of it. They said it would disappear when you got older. They lied. Now you’re making new friends. Real friends. It doesn’t like that.

The Shadow

Dayslumber is the only move that gives you an edge over your jealous shadow, but it makes evenings something to feared. Errant Shadow can make cooperation with the Shadow a tempting proposal. It helps with a low Hot and Volatile, and the associated moves. Most of the moves imply a mostly antagonistic relationship with the Shadow, with moments of desperate tolerance. Misdirection is less ambivalent, rewarding even the accidental conspirator for covering your tracks. It’s no small thing to work with your Shadow, particularly taking the danger of your Sex Move into account.

In addition to the effects of the roll, on a 10 up Shadowed remains. On 7-9, they remove the Shadowed condition. m Mine! When you lash out physically against someone who has a string on you, roll Dark instead of Volatile.

m Misdirection Whenever someone attributes your actions or those of your Shadow to an innocent party, the accuser marks experience and you gain a string on them. m Nyctophobia When someone in your presence is given the Terrified condition and they do not have the Shadowed condition, they may choose to take Shadowed instead. If you have any strings on them, they must take the Shadowed condition. m Whispers in the Dark When someone with the Shadowed condition gazes into the abyss, you may answer instead of the MC, and you may lie. This removes the Shadowed condition from the gazer. This does not require the Shadowed condition if gaze into the abyss is used to ask questions about you.

Other Moves Strings

Sex Move

Playing the Fates

When you lay with another, you gain a glimpse of their destiny. You change aspects and give them the Doomed Romance condition. When someone who already has the Doomed Romance condition sleeps with someone other than you who doesn’t have it, they lose the condition and the person they slept with gains it instead. Doomed Romance counts as Doomed for all Fates moves.

As befitting a skin that has a focus on a variable personality, The Fates can represent many archetypes. The know it all, the teacher’s pet, the fatalist, and the one who is unsure of themselves. Frequently, they represent all of these things at different times, and sometimes more than one at once.

Darkest Self For too long everyone has ignored your warnings and avoided the futures that you have foreseen and which were due them. No longer can they be allowed to shirk their fated moments. You will guide the hand of destiny yourself and cut those threads that have grown beyond their ordained length, so that no one will think themselves above the order of things ever again. You escape your Darkest Self when you have changed your aspects three times, or when someone proves to you definitively that their fate can be avoided or ignored.

Advancement  Take another Fates move.  Take another Fates move.  Take a move from another Skin.  Take a move from another Skin.  You’ve joined a Weird Sisterhood (or Brotherhood).  Add 1 to Hot (max 3)  Add 1 to Cold (max 3)  Add 1 to Volatile (max 3)  Add 1 to Dark (max 3)

The core of the character is that they are unsure of themselves, even as they speak with assuredness of what is going to happen to everyone else. Despite this, most of their moves offer outs for their targets, so other skins shouldn’t be afraid to interact with The Fates. Don’t avoid the roleplaying queues given with each aspect - part of the fun of the Skin is the variability of it. Avoid the temptation to choose a specific aspect and cling to it - the Skin encourages moving the cycle along.

Free will is an illusion, and you’ve seen behind the curtain. Your eyes are open now, and you can see the footsteps people should be taking before they take them. You are the arbiter of destiny and can guide others towards or away from great fortune or greater misfortune. Sometimes, you have worries. People go against the path you’ve set out of them, the path you’ve seen, and you wonder if all your warnings are for nothing. And even more worryingly, out of all the paths you see, you never see your own. Maybe that’s why you have such a hard time settling on just who, or what, you’re supposed to be?

Other characters can remove the Doomed Condition in the same way they would remove any other Condition. A Feast for Crows is a powerful move, but there’s a limit to how much you can get out of it, especially since you can only change aspects once a scene. If you would gain a benefit when you can’t (removing a Condition or healing a Harm when you have none), that use of the move is wasted. With Cassandra, feel free to make up your prognostications; nothing says they have to have been a true fate before The Fates says so. After you’ve told them what’s going to happen, it’s up to them to embrace it or deny it.

Fates Moves You get this one, and choose two more:

 The Tangled Skein You have three aspects. Each aspect provides a bonus to one Stat and a penalty to two others. You are always in one of three aspects. At the beginning of the game, you can choose which aspect you are currently in. Many Fates moves will tell you to change aspects, but you can only change aspects once per scene. The Maiden - You gain +1 Hot, but -1 Volatile and Cold while in this aspect. When you follow your passions regardless of propriety or tact for yourself or others, change aspects. The Mother - You gain +1 Volatile, but 1 Hot and Cold while in this aspect. When you harm those that have harmed someone or something you love, change aspects. The Crone - You gain +1 Cold, but -1 Hot and Volatile while in this aspect. When you break a longstanding bond or ruin a relationship or friendship, change aspects. Changing aspects follows a progression: The Mother follows the Maiden, the Crone follows the Mother, and the Maiden follows the Crone.

Strings

When you Lash out Physically against someone with the Condition Doomed, they take 1 additional Harm on a successful roll, but they lose the Doomed condition. While you are The Mother, they do not lose the condition.

Other Moves

 Cassandra When you issue a warning of impending doom to someone else, roll with cold, then change aspects. On a 10 plus give them the condition Doomed or carry one forward towards ensuring your prophecy comes true. On a 7-9, as above, and they choose one:  they gain a string on you;  they give you a condition;  they carry 1 forward against you or towards avoiding their fate. If they fail to avoid their fate, they mark experience and you take a string on them. If they avoid their fate, they gain a string on you.

 Washer at the Ford When you gaze into the abyss to learn something about someone or spy on them, add the following option to the 10 and up list: “the visions show you their ultimate fate. You give them the Doomed condition.” After using this move, change aspects.

 Cauldron Burn, Cauldron Bubble When you tag the condition Doomed for a bonus, you may take +3 instead of +1, but they lose the condition Doomed and take a string on you. While you are The Crone, they do not lose the Doomed condition.

 Shuttle and Loom Whenever you change aspects and someone notices, they gain a string on you. You carry 1 forward to your next roll to Turn them On. If it is an NPC, carry 1 forward on your next roll to Manipulate that NPC. If your aspect changes to The Maiden, they also gain the condition Doomed.

 A Feast for Crows Whenever you change aspects, you gain a benefit: when you change to the Maiden, you may remove a Condition; when you change to the Mother, heal 1 Harm; when you change to the Crone, mark experience.

Playing The Serpentine Indoctrinated, uncertain, beguiling, and abrupt. The Serpentine belongs to a sprawling, controlling family and is uncertain about their place in the modern world. They struggle with balancing family obligations with a wider social network. The stats you choose will slant your character toward being either seductive and aloof (Hot 2 & Cold 1) or fierce and dangerous (Cold 2 & Volatile 1). Either way, your Serpentine will be caught between worlds and forced to decide who deserves their trust and intimacy. Your family is obsessed with and anxious about their legacy. Your sex move reflects this: anyone who you become emotionally and sexually entangled with is at risk of being pulled into their power games. The true form referenced in The Big Reveal is a terrifying snake-person visage. You get to decide the details: whether you slither out of your human skin, grow fangs and a tail, or something else entirely. If you’re the MC, find ways for the family to meddle in the Serpentine’s social life. Maybe their strict father imposes arbitrary and stifling rules, or their grandmother tries to dictate who they are to befriend next. Play the family members in a way that makes them at least somewhat sympathetic, but ultimately in conflict with the larger world. Find out what the Serpentine does about that conflict.

The Serpentine In ancient days, your family held dominion over this world. They were powerful, deadly, and wise. At least, that’s what they tell you. But all you’ve ever seen is empty faith and crumbling dreams. You just want to live your life like any other kid, but they have bigger plans for you.

Strings

You’ve been watching someone, trying to learn from them what it means to be human. Gain two Strings on them.

Harm

The human and serpent worlds are too different, and you’ll never be able to reconcile their demands. The only way out is to choose a side, as decisively and irrevocably as possible. Watch carefully and quietly for an opportunity, and then strike, regardless of who needs to be hobbled or devoured in the process. It’s the only way to make the world simple again, and find your place at last. You escape your Darkest Self when you accept your complicated place in the world, or when you moult.

Experience

You get Failing Dynasty, and choose one more:

 Failing Dynasty In the age of serpents, your family was powerful and prolific. Now, they live in a shadow of their former glory. They want to regain (choose one): their political clout, their old wealth, their failing beauty, their secret allies. Whenever you are convinced to do the bidding of a family member, take 1 Forward to doing it and that family member gains a String on you. Whenever you help your family regain some of their former glory, mark experience.

Your family seeks to control your every move, and they will not be denied. The head of your family gains two Strings on you.

Giocare il Roleplayer

Il Roleplayer è chiaramente un’estremizzazione dei personaggi di Dark Dungeon a cui sono ispirate le Secondary Skin.

Se Oscuro Hai fatto un Tiro Salvezza contro la Realtà e l’hai fallito, un ultima volta ! Il tuo Personaggio non avrebbe fallito ! “Stay in Character Choomba” esci dal tuo Se Oscuro solo se il tuo Personaggio riesce ad ottenere un successo nella vita “Reale”, oppure se fallisce anche il tuo Personaggio. In quel caso attiva la mossa “It’s my Fumble” delle Secondary Skins.

Il tema del Roleplayer è la Comfort Zone, significa giocare in un mondo virtuale e controllato dove avere amici con cui condividere le avventure, i problemi e le gioie senza esser giudicati. L’aspirazione segreta del Roleplayer è diventare un Master, incarnare il Mondo insicuro e tenebroso in cui far vivere i propri compagni per far espiare a loro le colpe, le tribolazioni e il Male che il Mondo Reale ti ha sempre inflitto.

La realtà è un mondo grigio, privo di fantasia, ma c’è un modo per sfuggirvi. Esiste una salvezza, lontano dai bulli, dagli insegnanti, dalle regole della popolarità, dai vincoli del sesso o della moda. Esiste il GDR, la possibilità concreta di vestire una nuova pelle, di entrare in un nuovo mondo e di trovare la salvezza tra i cadaveri dei propri nemici

Purtroppo il Mondo, Reale o Virtuale ha una sola scappatoia ed è la Morte. Inevitabilmente il Sentiero del Roleplayer ha un epilogo triste, a meno di ricevere la Salvezza e la salvezza può nascere solo allo stesso tavolo di gioco dove il Male nasce e si nutre.

Giocare l’Orco

Quando fai sesso s’è consensuale ricevi una Condizione se non è consensuale, tu dai una condizione al partner, lui ne da una a te.

L’orco affronta, anzi affonda a pieno nel tema del bullismo.

Dark Self

Sei un bullo, il violento, il dominante, l’aggressivo.

Il tuo lato oscuro è fatto di tenerezza, empatia e fragilità. Quando concedi la tua amicizia, quando scappi dalla paura, quando passi dal fare BRANCO al fare parte di un CERCHIO DELL’AMICIZIA diventi vulnerabile. Ogni tuo 12 conta come 10 e ogni 10 come 79. L’unico modo per uscirne è trovare sollievo nella violenza ferendo o denigrando qualcuno.

Sei un male necessario, il cattivo della Storia, perché tutti hanno bisogno di un esempio negativo, qualcuno da additare. Ogni volta che mostri il tuo lato umano, fragile, empatico, qualcuno cerca di distruggerti. E la tua corazza si impessisce.

Abuso, prevaricazione, violenza. Sono le uniche armi per sopravvivere in un mondo che morde. Tu mordi più forte, mordi per primo. Sei considerato il cattivo, il bullo, il violento. Sei solo il modo con cui la natura applica la propria selezione.

L’Elfo rappresenta l’Asessualità. In un mondo di Teenager porta una delle più gravi “stigmate” sociali. Il suo punto debole, il suo essere sofisticatamente Naive, la sua confusione è, di fatto, la sua vera forza. Impermeabile alle battutine volgari, amico che non potrà mai finire nella Friend Zone risulta difficile da comprendere per i coetanei.

Il termine corretto è ACE. Asessuale o Asessualizzato. Un’etichetta pesante da portare in un mondo in cui l’unica leva è la libido. Tu non cedi all’essere un discriminato, ti ritieni un illuminato, non puoi essere una pedina perché sei fuori dai giochi. Superiore alla massa, immortale, perfetto. E se tutti vedono il sesso come unica via che fottano, anzi, che si fottano !

La sua mossa sessuale è una delle più complicate, perché a senso unico, una volta passato il segno, si è in un punto di non ritorno. E la vita di un Elfo è costellata di punti di non ritorno.

Sex Move

Playing The Unchained

After you have sex with someone, your other self carries 1 forward to harm that person.

The key concepts for the Unchained are repression, freedom, dysphoria, and addiction, all rolled up into one violent little dysfunctional bundle. Your other self is your outlet for all your secret needs - you can be and do all those things you’re not allowed to be and do, but safely, as someone else, without ruining your reputation.

After your other self has sex with someone, take a string on that person.

Darkest Self Your other self always pursues its selfish desires, but now you’re truly free. No limits, no constraints, no regrets. Do what you please, with and to whom you please. Use and abuse anyone who crosses your path. Nothing is as important as satisfying your every whim, and no-one really matters except for you. You can only return from your Darkest Self when you cause some sort of unforgivable harm to someone your normal self cares about.

Advancement m Take another Unchained move. m Take another Unchained move. m Take a move from another Skin. m Take a move from another Skin. m You’re part of an Underground Club. m Add 1 to Hot (max 3). m Add 1 to Cold (max 3). m Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). m Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

Skin Designed by:

Topher Gerkey Stock Art by Marcus Ranum

Your other self can be as different from your normal self as you like, from minor changes like hair style and color to bigger shifts like changing your height or ethnicity, to major alterations like changing your sex (the Unchained lends itself to an exploration of trans issues, but BE CAREFUL - don’t fall into the hazard of conflating trans-ness itself with monstrosity). Animal Magnetism, Addiction, and Dysphoria/Euphoria lend themselves well to a character who focuses on the other self in play, while Unholy Glee and You’re Not Me! are better suited for an Unchained who has a love/hate relationship with his other self, or considers it an antagonist. Freedom from Consequence can be a very handy move. Feel free to rack up conditions while indulging your deviant lusts as your other self, then wipe the slate clean when you change back into your respectable normal self in the morning. The Underground Club gang advancement may be a sex club, a fight club, a drug den, or whatever other seedy location your other self uses to unwind.

All you could think about were the things you shouldn’t do, the person you shouldn’t be. All day, every day, burying your real feelings because giving in would mean losing everything - your family, your friends, your place in the world. So you did what you were supposed to do, and you quietly hated yourself, and everything felt wrong - until now. Now you can have everything. Your good life, and your secret pleasures. And if people get hurt sometimes... that’s a small price to pay for tasting the forbidden fruit, right?

You get this one and choose one more: The Formula You have discovered a way to transform yourself into an other self. This alternate version of you may look or act completely differently, and exists to fulfill your repressed desires. Transforming in either direction requires a lengthy preparation, although you will always transform back into your normal self when you are unconscious. When you transform into your other self, subtract 2 from your Cold and Dark and add 2 to your Hot and Volatile. When you become your Darkest Self, you automatically transform into your other self. m Addiction You no longer need a lengthy preparation process; you may become your other self at will. Only being unconscious will return you to your normal self. When you become your other self, carry 1 forward. If you go a full day without becoming your other self, hold steady. If you don’t roll 10 up, give yourself the condition needs a fix. m Animal Magnetism When you are your other self, you may give yourself +1 to turn someone on or manipulate an NPC if you have previously lashed out physically at that person. If you take this bonus, give yourself the condition bestial.

Other Moves

m Dysphoria/Euphoria When you are your normal self, your repression and dysphoria prevent you from using turn someone on or manipulate an NPC under any circumstances. When you are your other self, your exuberance at the freedom you feel allows you to roll Volatile instead of Cold to shut someone down or hold steady. m Freedom from Consequence When you transform, clear all your conditions and heal 1 harm. m Unholy Glee When you are your normal self and you hear from a third party about some shameful or violent incident your other self was involved in, you may give yourself +1 to gaze into the abyss about the incident or people involved in it. If you take this bonus, give yourself the condition seduced by darkness. m You’re Not Me! Your other self is a true separate identity, not just a release of your usual restraints. Neither of you remember what happens while the other is active, although you can communicate via leaving messages. Track strings as if you were two separate characters; you and your other self each get a string on the other when you take this move.

Sex Move Quando fai sesso il partner guadagna la mossa “Casato”. Volente o nolente entrerà negli “intrighi” della tua famiglia.

Dark Self La tua anima di condottiero, pura, splendente, bruciante ti ha condotto al fallimento. E’ il momento di realizzare che la tua comunità non merita un Leader giusto, ma ne merita uno meschino e machiavellico come la loro Regina. Comincia a danneggiare uno per uno tutti i tuoi alleati fino a che uno di loro non ti darà un vero motivo per “ritornare in sella” o fino a che con questa epurazione non avrai ottenuto un significativo vantaggio per il Casato.

Giocare il Leone Rampante La scuola è piena di Regine e Reginette, ragazze e ragazzi che rappresentano una buffa corte di edonismo, vanità, malizia e frecciatine pungenti. Fintanto che questa situazione permane è chiaro che la comunità è in pace e non serve un vero Leader. Ma una corte abbisogna di un Re, un Signore del Feudo che arriva da una lunga dinastia, qualcuno che ispiri gli uomini in battaglia, che rischiari il cammino dei propri sudditi splendendo come un fuoco. Qualcuno che spaventi le fiere col ruggito del Leone Rampante. Giocare il “Rampante” vuol dire aver ereditato onori ed oneri di essere il Signore della Comunità ed esser pronto a guidarla verso la Vittoria come fecero gli antichi condottieri prima di te.

Sex Move

When you have sex with another character, it counts as studying them closely. You can assume their form at will, but it always counts as if you'd rolled a 7-9. If you are transformed, Hold Steady or return to your original form immediately afterward.

Darkest Self

You despise yourself. All these other pretty people have everything you've ever wanted but could never have for yourself. In fact, no one would even notice if you were just...gone. Just be someone else - ALL the time. And if you need to get the "real" them out of the way to pull it off, so be it. Escape your Darkest Self when someone calls you on not being who you say you are.

Take the discarded Skin sheet and just start using it, with their stats and selected moves and remaining Strings and all.

Playing The Doppleganger The Doppleganger is about jealousy and hating yourself and wishing you were more like your heroes. Transform gets done by abandoning yourself to try to take on their form, but they often find the flaws in the people they take on, resolving to find a new, perfect person to copy. Ultimately though, The Doppleganger wants to become the person he thinks is perfect, the person who has the most that he thinks he's lacking. They aren't likely malicious at first. As they discover the flaws of the new body, however, they may desire revenge over being "deceived."

You idolized them, their icy glares, their smoldering looks, their razor intellect. You had none of it. You tried to act like them, pretended to be like them, but it never worked. Then you started to become them. Now none of it is outside your grasp if you can just find the right person.

It can be very hard to strike back at The Doppleganger - continued picking on a single PC could annoy the other player, so bear that in mind.

The Doppleganger

Your moves all are functions of your transformation. Some, like Personality Bleed, are statistic-based, while others, like Linked, are purely narrative. In your Darkest Self, you're abandoning your own shape in favor of being a certain someone else - that would be a single someone else. Beware using your memorization advancement lightly - you only get one perfect other form. You can get a partial memories from your sex move though. The final advancement is forever - you give up Doppleganger-hood for it. You keep no moves or stats. You could take Transform with your new skin's advancements, but that will never be your core identity ever again.

BLOB: Oltre agli effetti già descritti le Stringhe usate dagli altri hanno il doppio dell’effetto su di te

Strings

Quando subisci tiri di VOLATILE lancia per negarli annullando anche le ferite.

Sorridi sereno e compiaciuto davanti alle avversità della vita. Quando subisci tiri di COLD lancia per negare l’effetto. BLOB: Il sorriso stupido rivela stupidità! Non hai alcun beneficio dall’uso di Stringhe o Forward.

Quando subisci tiri di HOT lancia per negare l’effetto. BLOB: Il tuo fetore pestilenziale non è più solo una prerogativa tua. Prendi la Condizione “Puzzolente” e affibbiala a chiunque ti sia intorno.

 Ingordo Ti piace mangiare e ti piace tutto, se cucinato a dovere o molto speziato puoi ingerire senza danni qualsiasi sostanza in qualsiasi quantità. BLOB: Non c’è bisogno di dirlo, prendi la condizione Mostro, ma aggiungi anche +1 HARM quando mordi.

Sex Move

Playing The Blob

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno sei appagato, l’altra persona è disgustata.

Narciso (il Blob) era innamorato della propria immagine, coccolato dalla mamma e dal papà ha vissuto perennemente riflesso in uno specchio deformante.

Chiedile se vuole iniziare una relazione, se no prendi +1 Stringa, se sì questo ti butta fuori dalla Confort Zone rivelando il tuo Dark Self

Darkest Self ATTENZIONE!!! Confort Zone violate !!! Probabilmente hai fatto sesso, hai fallito in maniera drammatica un tiro nel relazionarti con gli altri o qualcuno ti ha messo davanti all’evidenza delle cose. BLOB è pronto a manifestarsi. Prendi tutte le Condizioni “Grigie” e applicane l’effetto immediatamente. Se sono più di 5 prendi 1 HARM, se sono più di 7 prendi 2 HARM +1 per ogni condizione aggiuntiva.

Cos’hanno che non va ? Perché non riescono a stare sereni ? Siamo giovani, belli, sani, pieni di amici e i conti li pagano i nostri genitori, cosa li porta a soffrire ? ribellarsi ? ferirsi ? Boh, casa mia è sempre aperta, a patto che nessuno colpisca la mia “Confort Zone”.

Giocare Narciso è toccare la tematica della Zona di Confort, la serenità e la pace. Vuol dire giocare un teenager apparentemente esterno ai conflitti sociali, alle tensioni ormonali, insomma giocare un giovane felice ed in armonia con se stesso. Purtroppo questa è solo un’illusione: cresciuto dentro una campana di vetro di commiserazione, lodi immeritate e coccole gratuite Narciso è un mostro rinchiuso in una fragile Zona di Confort. Se la Zona viene violata si riversa fuori in tutta la sua mostruosità da qui, il termine Blob

Narcissus

Se dovessi risultare morto tenta il suicidio. L’unico modo per uscire dalla tua condizione è trovare qualcuno che apprezzi la tua bellezza interiore … auguri.

Sex Move

Playing The IBIS

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno, ponigli una domanda esplicita, se risponde onestamente dagli una Stringa, se mente guadagna +1 Forward su di lui.

Figlio dell’età dell’informazione tracci le tue origini dall’Antico dio Toth.

Darkest Self Nessuno ti ha ascoltato o creduto quando doveva. Ora è tardi per pentirsene. Colpirai il mondo come una grossa massa nera di caos che invaderà tutte le loro case! Fai tutto ciò ch’è in tuo potere per affibbiare una Condizione a chiunque abbia Stringhe con te (positive o negative). Fermati solo quando un innocente si farà dannatamente male.

Giocare l’Ibis significa incarnare lo stereotipo del giornalista scolastico o del giovane detective. Hai un morboso attaccamento al Gossip, alla Cronaca Nera e alla Politica Locale. Non ami lo Sport ma adori giudicare gli sportivi. C’è sempre qualcosa di sinistro nei tuoi scritti, forse parte del tuo animo oscuro che cerca di emergere.

Descrivere, riportare fedelmente, indagare … insomma servire la Verità (e assecondare morbosamente la curiosità). In un mare dominato dall’informazione tu ami sguazzare e più le acque sono torbide e minacciose, più sai che nascondono qualche tesoro sommerso. Alcuni ti chiamano scherzosamente Peter Parker.

Playing The LOA

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno, diventa parte del tuo Ohana. Se fai sesso con due o più partner e d è condiviso tutti beneficiano del vantaggio Gang. Se non è condiviso cedi una Stringa ad ogni partner.

Giocare il LOA significa essere il testimone di un retaggio culturale lontano, esotico e sciamanico.

Darkest Self Scegli un elemento: __________________ fino a quando non torni sereno quell’elemento continuerà a “tempestare”la zonao la comunità in cui ti trovi. Giungi alla pace solo se un membro della tua Ohana ti dona spontaneamente Cure, Sesso, Alcool o Cibo.

Talvolta araldo e paladino egli elementi, talvolta eroe nichilista pronto a sfidarli. Credi nella fratellanza, il concetto di “Ohana” e detesti l’autorità, il colonialismo, gli sbirri, la globalizzazione.

Il fuoco nelle vene, il vento nei capelli, il mare sotto i piedi e la terra della mia isola che nutre i miei sogni coi ricordi dei miei avi. Il Nirvana e l’Akashika altro non sono che quest’onda perfetta.

Se il tuo retaggio è dei LOA della natura sei legato agli spiriti degli elementi, dell’incontaminato e dell’onirico. Se il tuo retaggio è legato ai RADA bianchi, sei portato verso la medicina, la comunità e il mutuo soccorso. Se il tuo retaggio è legato ai LOA Neri (Ghede e Pedro) sei portato alla guerra, alla morte e alla sessualità spinta, in generale all’eccesso. Qualunque sia la tua natura sei in qualche modo la guida spirituale della famiglia, una specie di fratello maggiore con tutti gli onori e gli oneri del caso.

Darkest Self Nessuno vuole credere ai mostri, soprattutto nessuno vuol credere al loro lato umano. E’ ora di entrare in azione e mettere a contatto il lato umano dei mostri col lato mostruoso degli umani. Organizza un grande Coming Out party, un Charity per raccogliere sangue per i Vampiri, una fiera Cosplay nel reame fatato, insomma tutti devono conoscere tutti. Smetterai di tentare di far scontrare i due mondi solo quando entrambi i mondi (o i loro rappresentanti) decideranno di comune accordo di tenerti lontana/escluderti. (Infondo staranno collaborando)

Tutti i tuoi simili sembrano ghettizzati, divisi, tanti tristi binari paralleli che corrono per la città ignorandosi. E quelli che fanno gruppo ? Si trincerano ignorando ancora di più gli altri. Tu vuoi a tutti i costi che i Mostri trovino il loro posto serenamente nel tessuto sociale. Infondo è spesso difficile se porti addosso etichette scomode, fare il tuo Coming Out … per quello c’è gente come te, per aiutare chiunque a rivelare la propria natura, sapendo che può affidarsi al 100% alla bellezza e alla varietà del mondo.

Quindi puoi trasformarti in cagnolino ? Wow Scoobydoso. Sei un Vampiro ? E ti trasformi in pipistrello ? Dev’esser figoso volare. Sei il mio fantasmino custode ? Ho sempre sognato qualcuno con cui giocare in soffitta. Acciderbolina proprio non riesci a non uccidere eh ? Meno male che domani abbiamo il compito e qui abita la prof di Greco.

Sex Move

Playing The Sheep

Se fai sesso con qualcuno trovi istintivamente il modo di infilarti nelle sue amicizie. Prendi automaticamente la sua GANG MOVE. Se non ha GANG MOVE beneficiate entrambi del bonus Gang quando siete nella stessa scena.

Molti conoscono il concetto di Pecora Nera o di Capro Espiatorio. Pochi, a differenza tua, conoscono il concetto di Pecora Gialla.

Il Vantaggio viene perso appena fai sesso con chiunque abbia una GANG MOVE

Darkest Self La tua famiglia comincia ad essere un onere troppo grande, devi fuggire ora, far perdere le tue tracce, morire o essere considerata morta, sparire, inseguire i tuoi sogni che nulla hanno a che vedere coi loro. Fuggi più lontano che puoi e fermati solo se ti avranno perso per sempre o se ti farai così male che saranno loro a salvarti.

La Pecora Nera è una figura ribelle e romantica, tutti vogliono essere la pecora nera, il capro espiatorio è una figura che subisce, che soffre e quindi che può ad un certo punto, trovare la forza per ribellarsi, giungere alla catarsi …

Avere genitori Hyppie, un nonno convinto comunista e venir sbattute in una Scuola Cattolica, perché insomma … non è sbagliato integrarsi è una vigliaccata. Pretendere di superare l’adolescenza indenni è invece pura utopia. Non potevo essere una Pecora Nera come la Zia e diventare portavoce del Senato di Stato nel partito Repubblicano ?

Poi ci sei tu! La tua famiglia è strana, strana forte, non centri nulla con loro, e la cosa peggiore è che per loro tutto ciò è normale, sono genitori bizzarri, fratelli strani, e sei pure circondata d’amore e attenzione, questo ti fa imbestialire perché vorresti essere “normale” come lo sono tutti al di fuori della tua famiglia. Giocare la pecora gialla significa nascere tra i Freak e inseguire spasmodicamente la normalità, la banalità, la quiete.

Sex Move

Playing The Treasure

Quando fai sesso con qualcuno sei appagato tu e il tuo/i BFF prendete +1 Stringa sul tuo parter.

Chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro. Tu sei quel tesoro, sei il Sidekick perfetto, sei il Robin di Batman, il Pinotto di Gianni, il Soldato di Inverno di Cap ecc …

Se fai sesso con la/il BFF vi sentite “strani” avete subito bisogno di trovare un BFF differente.

Darkest Self Oppps, la tua BFF ha perso la Condizione di BFF … non è importante come, non può essere una svista, era tua BFF … 4 EVER ora pagherà e pagherà caro non aver risposto al telefono o aver preso le distanze perché il “tipo è geloso”. Qualunque sia il motivo della perdita dello Status di BFF va rimosso. Se accetterà di tornare la tua BFF sarà tutto come prima, altrimenti dovrai rimuovere anche lei. (Oppure farci sesso … i Trombamici non sono mai BFF, non si Trombamicizza per sempre).

Essere te, significa giocare l’amico stimolante, propositivo, sempre disponibile … quello però che, talvolta, viene messo in ombra … ma la prendi col sorriso sulle labbra. Gli amici possono anche sbagliare, tu sei li apposta per redimerli, perdonarli ecc …

La mia Reginetta non mi dirà che basta un lutto in famiglia per trattenerla … se vuoi passo io a prenderti a casa con Gelato, Compassione, Compressione, Compresse di Ansiolitici e due biglietti per il Concertone. Chi trova un amico trova un tesoro e tu, amica mia, hai me.

L’importante è che non si dimentichino mai del loro tesoro. Perderanno il fidanzato ? Sarai li per loro, verranno bocciati ? tu ci sarai … loro sono dei parassiti, e li hai perdonati … BFF! Best Friend 4 EVER … Basta che le cose rimangano così 4 EVER altrimenti anche il tuo odio, la tua indifferenza, la tua capacità di far male diverrà 4 EVER !

Darkest Self Abituata a stare nel mirino, il tuo Se-Oscuro si manifesta appena smetti di essere l’ossessione di qualcuno. Hai subito bisogno di diventare l’Ossessione di qualcuno. Uscirai dal tuo Se-Oscuro appena riceverai una ferita, appena morirà qualcuno per causa tua o appena avrai fatto sesso.

Giocare l’Ossessione Essere l’Ossessione di qualcuno è sempre un’arma a doppio taglio. Pronta ad essere la Vena del Vampiro come Curandera o la Vittima Sacrificale dei personaggi più Oscuri con Ossessione Oscura. Giochi un pericolosissimo “Gatto col Topo” dove sei solo un Topolino particolarmente nichilista, al limite della Psicosi. Non riuscirai mai ad avere veri amici ma la Cronaca Nera ti donerà tutta la popolarità di cui hai bisogno. Un cambio improvviso di direzione manifesterà invece il tuo pericolosissimo “Se Oscuro”

La Regina è il sogno sui sedili ribaltabiili dei pervertiti, tu sei il desiderio nel portabagagli dei depravati. Farebbero di tutto pur di averti. Farebbero di tutto perché tu possa non essere di nessun altro. Ha più potere il carnefice o una vittima consapevole quando la vittima diventa l’Ossessione del proprio Carceriere ?

Sex Move

When you have sex with someone, they can give you one command—one thing you could reasonably accomplish. If you succeed definitively, take a String on them. If you fail definitively (not just fail a roll—I mean completely fuck it up), immediately take 2-harm

Darkest Self

You have power. No, you are power. But you need direction; you’re a hammer without a hand to hold you, lying on a bed of nails. The world floods with signs and symbols and you know what they all mean—if only someone would listen! Your Darkest Self’s filters and barriers come down, the social graces which hide your lunacy from civilization; and all of a sudden you answer every question with the truths of your faith, even if that question was, “Did you hear Jeremy Lin’s going to Houston?” You cleave tightly to perceived authority figures, carrying out tenfold what they asked of you but once, whether they like it or not. To escape your Darkest Self, you must reject one of your faith’s tenets, or have someone outside your cult acknowledge its worth.

Advancements

○ Take another Acolyte move. ○ Take another Acolyte move. ○ Take a move from another Skin. ○ Take a move from another Skin. ○ You have Minions of your Very Own. ○ Add 1 to Hot (max 3). ○ Add 1 to Cold (max 3). ○ Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). ○ Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

Play the Acolyte Secretive, unstable, zealous. The Acolyte is all about that crucial teenage value of conformity, about trading your individuality for power and regretting nothing, at least until it’s too late. Your conformity isn’t blind and straightforward, though. That’d be too easy. Your moves reward a combination of following orders and questioning them. This isn’t just a Cthulhu cult thing; many, though not all, who believe in something—a religion, a political party, an individual, whatever—experience that dichotomy. The more you care, the more you question, and vice versa. For the Acolyte, the answers to those questions often come from without—other gang members, the gang leader—but also from within, from the abyss itself. You may not be in charge of your gang, but Tribunus Plebis and You Rebel Scum mean that anyone who wants either to work effectively with a gang or to avoid getting backstabbed needs to reckon with you.

You’ve seen the signs. Stars align, the Long Count You’ve seen the signs. Stars align, the Long Count Calendar runs out of pages, a man appears with snow-white hair and burning eyes. Others run, they hide, they deny it, they’re afraid, alone; but you wanted a part of something bigger. Alone you’re weak, but together, with a firm hand guiding you, you’ll walk on fire and raise the dead. In the final moments they’ll all learn what you knew all along, just you and those like you, justified by faith apart.

Acolyte Moves

● True Believer You belong to any one gang you want, whether it’s the Queen’s clique, the Infernal’s needy fiends, or a NPC gang. Membership fills you with faith and/or devotion; figure out what that means for you. When you help or interfere with a gang member, roll with whatever they rolled (but apply your ±, not theirs). On a hit, PCs take +1 (help) or -2 (interfere) now, and NPCs act with Advantage or Disadvantage respectively. On a 7-9, you also expose yourself to scorn, danger, retribution, or cost.

○ I’ll Be Your Mirror Whenever you’re supposed to enter your Darkest Self, spend a String on someone to enter their Darkest Self instead.

○ Omega

Your Backstory: Give your gang leader—or, if that’s a NPC, the PC you want to supplant them—two Strings. You’re trying to recruit someone, and you think you’ve got an angle. Take a String on them.

Harm: Experience:

When you follow someone else’s orders, carry 1 forward. When you roll a miss in pursuit of that goal, mark XP.

OOOOO

You see portents of a great event: a sleeping god’s return, the Rapture, Chen finally asks Morgan out, whatever you want as long as it won’t stop play dead—like, “the end of the world” means the end of the world starts, not lights out right now. Draw a little countdown clock that looks like your harm circle. Mark two of the quarters with occurrences; the MC marks the other two. When one of those things happens, fill in that quarter, mark XP, and give a String to whoever made it happen. You can’t just make them happen yourself— someone else has to take the lead. When they all fill in, in whatever order, your great event happens. Now what do you do?

Strings:

○ Seventh Sign

○ Tribunus Plebis Anyone trying to manipulate a gang to which you belong may lobby for your aid. They may offer you a String each for any of the following effects on one roll—they choose, but feel free to make suggestions. ~ you whisper support: +1 to manipulate the gang ~ you stoke their enthusiasm: +2 to rolls when the gang helps them instead of +1 ~ you redouble your strength: +2 harm instead of +1 harm in acts of violence No doubling up on individual choices: so they could give you 2 Strings for a +1 to manipulate the gang and a +2 on help rolls, but not for a +2 to manipulate.

○ Without Number When you die, immediately switch to playing another gang member. Your new Acolyte has all the same stats and moves and strings, but has a new name (chosen from the list, can’t make ‘em up for this one). Roll with dark. On a hit, you start with a String on whomever you consider most responsible for your last Acolyte’s death; on a 7-9, you also start with the Condition expendable. You can keep pulling this shit until you run out of names to choose from, and then you’re dead dead dead.

○ You Rebel Scum When you stir up dissent against your leader, roll with volatile. On a 10+, choose three. On a 7-9, choose one. ~ no one who’s not supposed to find out finds out ~ opinion turns against the leader ~ they’re confused, hesitant, full of questions, and ineffective ~ you gain a String on the leader

Sex Move If you haven’t already done so, reveal your True Nature to that person. If they accept you, give them a string and they choose one condition you get to remove. If you disgust them, give them two strings and take 1 forward to moving against them.

Darkest Self Do they know? Your True Nature and the thought of keeping it secret consumes you. You need to find out who knows, and to make sure they won’t tell. And do anything to make sure the secret won’t get out - or if it does make sure they are looking anywhere but at you. The concept of protesting too much doesn’t occur to you. You escape your darkest self either when you think no one knows or when someone who knows offers you acceptance.

Playing the Deep One The Deep One is a metaphor for being in the closet in a really conservative area. A lot of the moves (Corrupting the Youth, Bringing the Storm, Unnatural Desires) take the premise that many of the worse things claimed by fundamentalist preachers are true. They aren’t of course - but this doesn’t stop people believing them. Especially unfortunate people contending with their own uncertain desires. If you feel too uncomfortable with move names, rename them e.g. Corrupting the Youth to Our Precious Bodily Fluids, Bringing the Storm as Falwell’s Flood or the like. But playing ironically is not keeping the story feral. The heart of the skin is, of course, the Masquerade. Via passing you have a Cover Skin that you are pretending to be, or also are - it just isn’t consuming you (if you don’t want a monstrous cover, pick a fairly mundane move here from a skin like Mortal or Chosen). Ending the Masquerade is, of course, coming out of the closet. Metamorphosis is the dark ending, and has the potential to derail games. You can’t move in normal society, so it should only be taken in the last couple of sessions. But take it if that’s what honesty demands, whether for pathos or to become a dangerous menace that’s everything everyone’s ever told you a Deep One is. And speak to your MC before taking it, especially as the only way out is to change skins - and to have taken it before ending the masquerade. After it’s theoretically irrevocable. Projection is not a metaphysical move, just a mechanical reflection of a common and harmful coping mechanism. Unnatural Desires can be played either way.

For as long as you can remember you’ve heard people talk about Deep Ones, and how they are the spawn of things older than the earth. How they corrupt the young. How they lead people to beings whose mere presence blasts the sanity of humans. How they have recessive genes, so nd you? You’ve just discovered you are a Deep One. It’s all true! Keep your nature secret, keep yourself safe - and if people find out you are a monster hope that they find the Cover Skin you are passing as. Or reach out to the people you can, knowing many will reject you because of who you are. After all, no one wants to be alone.

O Metamorphosis You become a Shoggoth; a horror of dozens of tentacles, rendering the Masquerade irrelevant.. The first time a PC sees you they must Hold Steady or Run Away - most NPCs just run. The following skin moves are upgraded: ● Unnatural Desires: Add 1 to your roll ● Bringing the Storm: Buildings may be damaged with this move - an average house can take 6 harm. ● Corrupting the Youth: Any building you spend the night in becomes Corrupted and passes the Corrupted condition to anyone who spends the night in it. ● Cold Blooded: you can regenerate from a single tentacle in hours.

On a 7-9, it happens, but choose 1: -Someone inconvenient learns that you have played god and tipped the scales of life and death in your favor. -Someone learns the secret of how to call upon and communicate with the Higher Ups. -The Price is taken in Blood; take 2 Harm.

O Job Perks When you reach into the void to bring someone back from the dead, Roll+Dark. On a 10+, Fate is rewritten; they weren’t quite as dead as you thought, or they just happen to find a convenient way back to true life. On a 7-9, their body is reanimated, but their player chooses 1: -The Danger hasn’t been avoided, just delayed, and it will come for you instead. -They come back “wrong” in some way. -Upper Management finds out, and you instantly become your Darkest Self.

It is possible to reach many other planes through the Netherworld, but you are not the only ones there. You may return yourself or any of the others with a snap of your fingers, appearing in any location in the Mortal Realm that you wish. O Locate: A path to reach the character of your choice is immediately offered (someone leaves the back door of their car open, you find plane tickets on the ground, a mystical gateway opens at your feet, etc). You might not know where you are going, but they will be there. O Alter Fate: You place your hand over a person who is afflicted by an ailment or Condition and they are healed of that Condition, but choose someone else in your presence (you may choose yourself) to gain the Condition. Alternatively, you may spend a String on someone who is not present to give the Condition to them instead. O Summon: You call forth the spirit of one of the deceased. They will aid you with a single task (answering a few questions, leading you somewhere, etc.) but after that, they can choose whether to return to their final resting place or remain on Earth as one of the restless dead. O Banish: With a snap of your fingers a Spirit, Demon, or Otherworldly Power is instantly returned to their home (for example, a Demon would be sent to Hell; a Ghost would return to their body’s final resting place). O The Scythe: someone that they will die soon; you need not speak words, but they must understand you. The next time they take Harm, they will take +3 Harm.

Sex Move

Playing The Muse

When you have sex with your protegé, they can act as if they had your Catacombs move until either of you has sex with someone else. If you have sex with someone besides your protegé, you can treat them as if they are a second protegé until either of you has sex with someone else.

As the Muse, you are a frustrated genius, capable of taking your field to a whole new level - or you would be, if something wasn’t holding you back. Some sort of terrible injury, disfigurement, or other obstacle prevents you from truly reaching the heights you were destined for...but you can still teach, and your crazed brilliance manifests itself in an obsessive focus on the one you’ve chosen to be your student. You’ll do anything - no matter how vile - to see them succeed.

Darkest Self There’s only one person in the world who truly understands your genius and your torment, and you will do anything it takes to make them yours forever. Kidnap your protegé and take them back to your Catacombs, and make it clear that from now on their entire life is going to be about learning from you and making you happy. Destroy anyone who interferes. You can only escape your Darkest Self when your protegé takes harm as a result of your actions.

Masked Angel allows you to have a somewhat normal teenaged life, so take advantage of the fact that nobody knows you’re secretly the “Phantom” haunting the school. If your game is set in an environment other than a school, pick the most central and frequently used location to place the Catacombs (which could be a deserted bomb shelter, a natural cave network, or even actual catacombs). Most of your moves are focused around your protegé, as you might expect, but even those that aren’t can be used to clear a path for them. Judas Hole and O.G. are great for blackmailing potential obstacles, and Punjab Lasso offers a more violent and perhaps permanent solution to your protegé’s rivals. The Secret Minions gang advancement can represent sympathetic friends or family members who know your dual identity, blackmailed victims who have no choice but to obey you, or broken, enthralled former students desperate for another chance to become your protegé again.

Christian was amazing in his last game. You knew he would be. All it took for him to shine was your special training...and the coach finding out his video collection wasn’t so secret...and the original quarterback’s awful leg-breaking accident. But now homecoming is coming up, and Christian has been blowing off your training sessions to spend time with Rhonda. It’s okay. You have a solution for that. And Christian will thank you when the scholarships come rolling in. You just know it.

Indossi sempre i colori del tuo Branco, siano essi una bandana, una toppa, un tatuaggio o qualsiasi altra amenità. Quando nomini la tua appartenenza al Branco benefici di tutti i bonus di una Gang. Quando Geli o ferisci qualcuno, gli imponi la condizione di Segnato. Qualsiasi membro del Branco (tu compreso) avrai quindi un +2 ad ogni tiro usando la condizione Segnato a tuo vantaggio.

 Figlio dell’Anarchia Hai con te un oggetto personale, un cimelio del Branco. Quando Usi Violenza infliggi 1 HARM addizionale

Sex Move

Playing The Centaur

Quando qualcuno fa sesso con te deve prometterti qualcosa e può usare la mossa Branco.

Il tema principale del Centauro è quello del Branco.

Se non vuole prometterti nulla guadagna la condizione di Segnato

Darkest Self Il tuo Se Oscuro si attiva quando vieni esiliato o ostracizzato dal Branco. Prendi la condizione Segnato (che trovi nella mossa Branco) Perdi la mossa Branco e tutti i tuoi 10 contano come 7-9 e i 7-9 come 6- fino a quando non riguadagni la fiducia del Branco.

La famiglia allargata di cui non te ne frega nulla di essere la Regina, né di essere il Consigliere. Vuoi solo far parte di un grande esercito che travalica ogni confine.

Quando sono sulla strada, sono imbattibile, nessuno può fermarmi, ma ci provano, ci provano … e non ci riescono.

A differenza della Gang, non hai bisogno di avere i tuoi fratelli vicino per sentirti forte … sei un Cavaliere Solitario con le insegne del tuo “Chapter” bastano le insegne perché chiunque tremi davanti a voi come si trovasse un’intera Legione da affrontare. Ma senza il tuo Branco sei nessuno ! Senza le loro insegne sei solo un fuggitivo da se stesso e sarà meglio ti trovino già in un fosso, prima che siano loro a gettartici. Traditore è pensata per inserire un elemento fortemente poliziesco nella fiction. Patente e Vip Pass compensano sicuramente nella giusta occasione la tua mancanza di popolarità.

S’è vero che CdM è un gioco dalle tematiche fortemente Queer, ed è uno dei motivi per cui ci piace tanto, questa Pelle è pensata invece per essere drasticamente, stereotipatamente, disperatamente etero-giocata. Il Pasionario è sessismo allo stato puro, è il Tanghero tutto sensualità e machismo opposto alla Guapa fatta di sessualità e disperazione. E’ il personaggio di una Soap (o spesso il prodotto di un’educazione fortemente bigotta e sessista) che si scontra con un mondo fatto di numerosi grigi e pochissimi bianco/neri. A caratterizzarlo sono il suo Se Oscuro, completamente separato da lui (vista la sua piattezza e monodimensionalità tradizionalista) e la sua mossa sessuale strettamente collegata al Se Oscuro. La tematica del Pasionario è AMARE, DURO, SIEMPRE … ma non riuscirci … MAI a causa del MALVADO, una minaccia chiamata in gioco appena il Pasionario attiva la propria Sex Move. Il Malvado odia l’amore e fa di tutto per ostacolarlo. Non esiste un Pasionario in versione LGBT ? Chi lo sa … tutto può essere. La Familia è una gang fatta tutta di maschietti o di femminucce (West Side Story e Grease docet) che aiutano il Pasionario a coronare il suo amore disperato.

Giocare il Satiro Il tema del Satiro è l’ecologia. Il Pianeta soffre a causa dell’ingordigia della Civiltà tecnologica e l’arte muore per la razionalizzazione imperante di tutto. L’Uomo impone la conoscenza sull’esperienza, impone la morale sulla gioia, impone l’etichetta sulla spontaneità.

Siamo fatti all’ottanta per cento di acqua, il resto di polvere cosmica. A livello atomico siamo esattamente il pianeta che abitiamo, il cibo che mangiamo, la musica che ascoltiamo e gli amori che viviamo. Non è possibile che l’uomo in un secolo di civiltà del petrolio l’abbia dimenticato solo per il profitto, per l’onnipotenza illusoria per la TV via Cavo. Madre Natura ha esaurito le parole, e ha mandato me a spigare meglio questo concetto.

When someone sleeps next to you they have vivid dreams. If they are good dreams they remove a Condition and you may ask them "What do you love?" If they have nightmares they gain the haunted condition and you may ask them "What do you fear?"

You feel other people like an Angel feel Humans. They don’t deserve the Power, they don’t inherit the Power.

Dark Self You can see what they all want. What they all hide. Their guilt and their passion calls to you. So give it to them. What they want - what they deserve. Let them see how terrible it can be to have all their dreams come true. Come out of your Darkest Self when someone fulfills one of your desires.

But Power side with their kind. No Angel has free choice, but Men have choice. Men understand nothing about dreaming, but they can dream … You can’t. Play Sandman is about be blind, create a visual show and feeling the show by the audience.

You walk in a world of dreams and nightmares. Of black miracles and wondrous terrors shaped by those around you. You can see their potential but it's obscured by all the petty bullshit they keep inside. And you envy them anyway because they can dream and you can't. Your dreams are their dreams and it gets so hard to see the real world through the haze of dreamstuff.

You'll guide them to righteousness, the perfect path. Even if that includes a hefty dosage of tyranny and violence. Your Projects become dark and inflict only misery and pain. Weapons, mind control, psychological warfare, everything is legal and kind of fun. You stay in your Darkest Self until you see people accept your ideas or your work is recognized and praised.

Da Vinci Science! Create an object that is beyond modern science (a laser gun, a weight loss pill, a one time teleporter ring, etc) with a roll of Dark. On a 10 up the item works well. On a 7-9 it comes with an unknown side effect. You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry Your intelligence and wit are turned towards physical agony now. Lash out physically with Cold if you are using one of your inventions or devices. On a 7-9 you gain the Condition enraged.

Your Backstory You have been watching the right people. Gain two Strings on any one. Creepy and weird a few others have Strings on you. Hand out up to three strings to other PCs.

Tunnel Vision On any Project you make you can create it in half the time if you ignore other relationships. You spend ANY String to cut the project time in half.

If the action the String influences fails the Prometheus gains the Condition confused. Deicide Formulae This move is an anti-move for other skins. Roll Dark when a move is used, on a 10 up you may negate the move. On a 7-9 you may only negate it if it is aimed at you. This move may be used once per scene. Rise My Creation! The Prometheus rolls Cold and on a 10 up gives life to a prepared item that comes to their aid. On a 7-9 item comes to their aid but can only attack or defend or it is unwilling to die for you. Like a gang if helping the character do a physical task, add 1 to the rolls. When it joins you in any act of violence, inflict an additional 1 Harm.

Darkest Self It’s time to let the light of inspiration really shine through you. You don’t see people anymore, you see test subjects. Any notion of social norms, ethics, or sanity is out the window— mere frivolities trying to distract you from your true calling. You blur the lines between human and machine, life and death, genius and insanity. You escape your Darkest Self when someone you care about breaks something you’ve made, or vice versa.

Playing the Genius Cold, brilliant, isolated, unhinged. The Genius is all about intellectual obsession, mad science, and crushing disappointment. To get the most out of your Inventions, always be on the lookout for technological solutions to problems—both yours and other people’s. Nothing you make will be truly perfect, but hey, you’re sure you can whip something up to take care of any issues that arise from a sadistic raygun or a toxic love potion. They Called Me Mad and Just Throw Some Gears On It both reward you for playing up the crazy. Remember: You’ve got it all figured out, everyone else is blind to the truth. Your worldview can be informed from obsolete scientific, academic, or philosophical theories, or you can make something up on your own. The move doesn’t automatically give you +1 forward to using your inventions, though if you spare a few moments to describe incharacter how the device and the theory relate to what you’re trying to do, that might work. The “something you’ve made” in your Darkest Self escape clause doesn’t have to be one of your inventions. It might be a social situation you engineered or your sculpture for art class. The same goes for Beautiful Daughter. .

Your Backstory You begin with one Invention. Detail what it does and its fault. You’ve tried it out on someone. Take a String on them. Someone has given you the inspiration for a new invention. Give them a String.

Create an adventurer at Level 8 and define their name, class and previous exploits.

Level Boss When a Freshman makes the move Ell Ae Arr Pee, you may make the move Level Boss. Describe the final enemy or monster the Freshman adventurer encounters in their move. If the Freshman rolls a 9 or below, describe how they kill the adventurer. If the Freshman rolls a 10 or more, describe how they were about to kill them, but then allow the Freshman to describe how the scene finishes.

Dungeon Mistress Whenever you act as DM for other characters when they Roleplay or Ell Ae Arr Pee, you narrate the current part of their adventure and the challenge they face. If any adventurers are killed on their roll then describe how they die. You are the Dungeon Mistress of the RPGer group. You have some other, more official, position at the college but it is secondary to your position as DM. You also have a dark purpose at the college: to use roleplaying to train the innocent in the occult and bring them into your service.

Suggested skins: Fae, Vampire Do character creation as normal, then gain the Queen advance The Clique (cultists), the Infernal advance Dark Recruiter (the dark power is your witchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coven) and then take another two advances (your choice) as per your Skin. You gain experience and further advances normally. You also gain the moves Dungeon Mistress, Stack the Odds and Ultimate Power. Add this additional backstory: Irrespective of the number of strings you have, you always act as though you have a string on any character with the RPGers gang advance.

If any characters roleplay without you as DM then lose a string on each one.

Stack the Odds One time only, when a character Roleplays with you, you can burn any and all the strings you have them (not including your permanent backstory string). Each string you burn is then a -1 modifier on their Roleplay or Ell Ae Are Pee roll. If they fail the roll, explain to them why it is their fault, why they are a bad roleplayer and hint at why they have displeased you.

Ultimate Power When one or more Freshmen makes the move Ell Ae Arr Pee and they roll a 10+, you must explain to them your secret plan to obtain ultimate power for yourself through using the occult and the dark arts. You must offer one or more of them the opportunity to devote their lives to your plan. If any of them reject you, you must kill or discredit them before they have a chance to be Saved.
