Thanks Sequitur,

I don't suppose you're the one working on the Modern Fairy Tale hack I've heard about? Cause from what I've seen of that one, it looks pretty frickin' awesome!

"Hold a mirror up to Corruption" sounds like a decent Principle. Or Move, really. Could go either way, depending.

Could do. Could do.

Actually it was London that we played in, but Boston was our second choice. And it was a super fun session! Thanks Hanklevoncrankle:)

Corruption moves are supposed to be powerful. They are free advances that you get for killing people and giving up part of your humanity. Once you start down that path though you will inevitably turn into a monster, almost certainly.

Your idea regarding some pre-determined corruption manifestations is totally work-able but I would prefer to keep to the philosophy of 'less is more'. The idea is already in there to use in the MC's toolkit. When a player take a corruption advance 'tell them the possible consequences and ask'  'ask questions like crazy' and 'offer them an opportunity with or without a cost'   All those moves/principles can let you ask some loaded questions of a player when they advance corruption. Examples like "How has your soul changed irrevocably?", "What's with that change to your body? Is that normal?" "When you look at Chalmers, he smells like food now, what do you do about that?"

Since I can't edit comments above, here is the latest version of the game file. :)

Shall I make the other 5 for you? The margins should be tighter when I render them at home. I have limited software here at work.

I had some time to kill at work so I made up an Engineer character sheet. Let me know what you think. I can easily port the other classes over once you find a layout design you like.

Also, I would consider moving Consult Training to a Will based move. As it stands Sharp has three basic moves under it and that seems like too many. Will should remain relevant and tempting.

You could consider adding a little bonus for using Consult Training as well, like a +1 forward for hitting the roll. This is what I did in my Star Wars hack and it seems to be a nice motivator for players to choose this move over Read a Sitch. As always, just a thought.

Also, LOVE racial moves, they are clean and evocative. Great idea. I want to play an Asari Adept somethin' fierce! You need to set up a google hangout playtest session sometime. :)

I would totally be cool if my MC brought this to the table. Especially if the group gets to pick the questions at the end of the session. That way the players all agree on the sorts of things they want to be doing in game. If I want to explore the physchic maelstrom then I simply nominate the question "Did we learn of a new facet to the maelstrom this session?"

I totally dig it, *especially* the variant highlight questions. Will consider this a possible custom move for a future game. Thanks!
