gets in their way, well, they deal with that now. What they do in life is follow their parts
around - their noses, their stomachs, their hearts, their guts, their ears, their inner children,
their visions. Then, you can make PC-NPC-PC triangles just by making sure that their
uncomplicated self-interests involve the players characters individually, not as a group.
Show different sides of their personalities to the players different characters.
MC Notes
Threats
Type
Threats
Threats come in five types; darkness, conquest, conflict, espionage, and politics. Each also
includes a sub-type, which further describes the threat and its impulses.
Darkness
Conquest
Espionage
Conflict
Politics
Cast
Every threat needs a cast of characters, the people responsible for, directly affected by, or in
the know of the threats existence and play a part in it are its cast.
Description
A short description is recommended to record your thoughts on what the threat represents,
is aiming for, and what those involved are up to. You can add as much or as little details as
you like, this area is for your reference.
Custom Moves
Custom moves are a fantastic way to add mechanical heft to your threats. By writing one or
more custom moves, you solidify the threats existence in the world, grounding it in the
rules. This is also a great way to give your NPCs unique advantages when the protagonists
confront them.
Countdown Clock
Arguably the most important part of your threat is the countdown clock. Countdowns allow
you to build a timeline for your threat, a step-by-step process from which it begins and
completes. Countdowns typically have six stages: 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00.
3:00 and 6:00 represent the opening plays, a planning stage: the first signs or warnings. A
threat in these stages is still young and can prevented by the right interference. 9:00 and
10:00 are the middle stages of the threat, where it gains serious momentum and begins to
affect real change in the galaxy. By this point, the threat is very difficult to prevent and will
have lasting effects even if stopped. 11:00 and 12:00 are the end points, where the threat
reaches its full potential and is irrevocable. Perhaps its effects can be lessened or endured
with enough luck and skill, but its too late to prevent what is coming.
