So, I've got a question for how people have been dealing with the Skinner move "Lost". I'm a player (and actually the skinner in the group), and during play today we had a few logistical questions when I and another player who chose to take a move form another playbook as her advancement were using Lost. First, how are people handling retries for failed lost rolls? Do you only get one attempt per character per session? Or does a certain amount of time need to elapse before you can try again? Second, how hard is the compulsion the target feels? Is it an overwhelming thing that needs to be answered immediately, regardless of life or limb, or does a successful roll just mean the target will meet user within a reasonable amount of time? Can the target be aware that some weird psychic maelstrom shit is involved in their compulsion? I understand that a lot of the answers to these questions are conditional on the campaign setting and the individual situations the move is used in, I'm asking what others have done in their games to use as precedents.
