Apocalypse World / Custom Moves in the Eternal Winter
« on: December 01, 2011, 02:32:28 PM »
Hiya
I'm working on Custom Moves for me and my group's ongoing campaign in a Gothenburg stuck in an eternal winter (read more about it Here if you want to). I want to make the ice and snow a real threat for my players, and I really think that Custom Moves is one good way to achieve that. I didn't find a thread were you could discuss Custom Moves, so I started this one in hopes of getting constructive critique (and maybe new ideas, or maybe that cool winter move that you've made up?)
Right now I'm working on a custom move for the risk of getting frostbitten right now. Please let me know what you think:
When you’re out in the snow for too long without proper clothing, roll+hard. On a 10+, you’re freezing like crazy but you don’t have to add segments on the Freeze Clock. On a 7-9, add 1 segment. On a miss, add 2.
The MC may ask players (as a move) to re-roll this move if they don’t find warmth in time.
Freeze Clock
You run a high risk of getting gangrene if not treated properly after 12 o’clock (on the Freeze Clock). This may, in turn, cold mean amputation or death.

Freeze Clock
- 1- Exposed body parts are cold and feel numb.
2- Exposed body parts are very cold and feel like they’re burning.
3- Exposed body parts are fucking cold and it’s difficult to use them or think properly. Doing this anyways means acting under fire.
4- Exposed body parts are suffering from frostnip and are turning white, red and yellow. 1-harm and acting under fire when straining yourself.
5- Exposed body parts are suffering from frostbite and are turning blue with a marble-like appearance. 1-harm and acting under fire when straining under fire.
6- Exposed body parts are suffering from deep frostbite and are turning purple and black. 2-harm and acting under fire to stay conscious.
