Fan Playbooks - Coyote and Decadent
« on: April 30, 2016, 03:22:18 AM »
These two were made for my first foray into AW (I love homebrew stuff, I just do). They are pretty basic but I want to see the ideas to them on the official board even if it is "they suck." The Coyote is Tina Turner in Thunderdome and the water jerk in Turbokid; the Decadent is based off of Hedonism Bot and Jack Vance's Dying World.

The Coyote

Cool -1 Hard +1 Hot -1 Sharp +2 Weird +2
Cool +0 Hard+0 Hot +0 Sharp +2 Weird +1
Cool -1 Hard +1 Hot +1 Sharp +2 Weird +0
Cool -2 Hard +1 Hot +1 Sharp +2 Weird +1

Basic Moves (all)

Base Move and 2 Coyote Moves

(Base) Sanctuary

You Gain a sanctuary with +2 Bounty and +1 Weakness

When you check in with your Sanctuaries, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ gain 1 Barter in addition to whatever bonuses you get. On a 7-9 gain only the bonuses. On a miss activate the weakness if applicable or pull a Hard Move.

Bounty
Wealth. Provides +1 Barter
Need. Provides +growth to the sanctuary.
Drugs/Surplus. Provides +party to the sanctuary.
Node. Provides +augury to sanctuary.
Pre-War. Provides supplier to an Angel or +1 Barter.
Maniacal. Provides +booby-trapped to the sanctuary.
Zoo. Provides a collection of food and/or pet animals.

Weakness
Structural damage. Provides +fragile to sanctuary
Known. Provides +wanted to sanctuary.
Shared. Provides -1 Barter per month or +cramped.
Temperamental. Provides +check-in to sanctuary.
Limited. Provides benefits only once (or twice) a month.
Finicky. Provides +delicate to sanctuary.
Pre-War. Provides +complex to sanctuary.

The Coyote's Hx says "On everyone else's turn give the number they give you + or – 1 depending on if you trust or don't trust them, your choice." When is it + and when is it -?

The Decadent's Flows Like Wine also doesn't have a stronger effect on 10+ than 7-9 in my opinion. Depending on how useful you want it to be, I'd either make it:
10+ 2 benefits, no penalties. 7-9 2 Benefits, 1 Penalty.
or
10+ 1 benefits, no penalties or 2 benefits, 1 penalty. 7-9 1 Benefits, 1 Penalty.

And I kinda miss some color for the benefits:
PC gains 1 xp the first time they help the Decadent in the scene.
PC Carries 1 forward against a target of the Decadent's choice.

Just why does that happen? I feel it needs a bit of color to help the Decadent/MC figure out just what is happening in the fiction. For Manipulation/Seduction it is easy enough, because the move speaks for itself. But what is the Decadent doing when he is using the Flowing Like Wine move?

A bunch of the penalties also seem weird, maybe because I again don't know what Flows Like Wine actually does in the fiction.
The target gains Armor +1 against any attack initiated by the move. (This only seems applicable for "PC Carries 1 forward against a target of the Decadent's choice"?)
People in the scene turn against the Decadent (Seems very harsh)
It is known the Decadent tried to alter the scene. (it isn't known if this penalty isn't applied?)
PCs cannot help the Decadent in the scene. (Define help. Are we talking the help/hinder move?)
The Decadent Carries -1 forward on the next roll of the MC's choice. (Works, but a bit boring. Also seems to pit the MC against the character, since he should probably apply that -1 forward when it hurts the most)
