In this period I’m playing a lot of
Apocalypse World. In this campaign I’m playing Iris, a brainer, and my friend Francesca is playing Road, a touchstone.
During the last session, Road used for the first time the move
Visionary on Sam, the juggernaut:
Visionary: when you share your vision of the future with another player’s character, roll+hard. On a 10+, hold 3 over them. On a 7–9, hold 2 over them. Whenever you like, you can spend your hold, 1 for 1, to have them mark experience. On a miss, they hold 1 over you, on the same terms.
and she missed the roll. We read all the move, with a special attention to the miss part, and we couldn’t understand if the meaning is:
- the other player holds 1 against the touchstone and awards experience to the touchstone according to their (= of the touchstone) vision;
- the other player holds 1 against the touchstone and awards experience to the touchstone according to their (= of the other player) vision.
In the first case, the emphasis of the move would be on the other player’s judgment about the touchstone vision; in the second case, the emphasis of the move would be on the other player’s vision opposed to the one of the touchstone.
I wonder which of the former is the correct interpretation of the move.
