Its funny, in all of those games, I feel like the GM is called upon to make up really strange shit with some regularity and link it to the players.  Not that Burning Wheel or D&D GM's don't make up shit...but...its different. 

For some reason, not having dice helps me to feel unencumbered.

You spend your hold to [do x]. If your hold was 1+1, you also take +1 forward for the first roll thereafter.

It should be right there in the text of the move. There are a couple of moves where you might hold 1+1, and I made sure to write an explanation into them.

Got it.  I skimmed the text while doing 3 other things.  Got it.  Thanks.

I'm struggling with this one. I can't build malacai from Children of the Corn. That's what I want to do with this playbook. Also, I can't model the kid from RW as I'd like to.

Been a long while since I saw Children of the Corn but wouldn't Malacai by a hocus?  He seems like he is not a feral child.  I dunno.

The Wandering Jew is equal parts botanist, linguist and gunsmith, leaving writings around the wastes like Johnny Appleseed left whatever the fuck it was he left.  Here's a pair of words I read about on a copy of a copy of a copy of one of his scrips.

Wish he'd define what a Jew is, no one here remembers.

G.O.G. - Gift of G-d is a noun, an acronym if you know what that is.  It refers to the landmines that take certain children.  These children are the ones who, come winter, would have forced their parents to make all-too-hard choices about rationing out food, kids who have no ability to get their own barter, not even begging.

G.O.D. - Gift of the Devil is a noun, another acronym and if you are canny with patterns, you have figured out what that means.  These children are the ones who are killed or simply maimed beyond recognition by landmines but who were gaining barter for the family, who were trained or who had forged a relationship that was keeping kin fed.

Both of these words refer to children hurt and killed by landmines.  There are words for other types of killings, just not these.

Its supposed to be vomit and barf, not full on dry heave.  I need to limit myself to a sentence or two, not this micro-fic bullshit.

"Only a very small amount of the radiation inside of there had so far actually escaped. More then 90% is still under sarcophagus. I heard with all the concrete they put down, the construction became heavy.. some day it may fall down, get in subterranean waters and leave Europe with no water."

I'm reminded of that one movie about dragons where the adults were acting out Star Wars for the kids.

I didn't see that movie but heard about that scene; it was the inspiration, that and people getting together to talk about TV shows and it ends up sounding like this: "Remember X scene...that was cool."  "Yeah...and Y scene <quotes scene>." "Totally."

But enough of that...more vomiting and barfing!

The Grab-n-Shivs: They tend to attack in 3's, two kids and an adult.  The kids grab your legs and the adult either shivs you or shoots you, depending on whats at hand.  Its simple and it works more often than it doesn't.  When the kids get big enough, they grow into the role of the shiv/shooter.

Pipers: a gang that attacks only in the pitch of night with lux night vision goggles and different size pipes as clubs.  No one knows that they only have 3 pairs of goggles.

Mademas and Scroungemas: 2 different holidays, one on the spring solstice and one on the winter solstice in which you give your family members something you made and the other where you give them something you found.

Crossbow bolts made of rebar. They have the precision of a drunk child throwing a jagged bottle but when you manage to embed one of these suckers in someone's chest, it makes it all worth it.

9-2-5: Shack town made of office cubicle walls. 

Feral dogs and feral cats forming a symbiotic relationship, much like wolves and ravens.
