A new special move, because this has come up a few times in my games:
(EDIT: on the suggestion of friend/player, made it a move where you pick the good stuff, not the bad stuff).
OFFLOAD
When you ask around a steading to find a buyer for something unusual, illegal, or just plain strange, roll +CHA. The GM will tell you who might buy the item, and what you might expect them to pay.
On a 10+, the deal goes quite well, pick two. On a 7-9, it gets complicated, pick one.
– You don’t have to settle for a lower price
– It doesn’t take a long time to set up the deal or find a buyer
– You don’t draw unwanted attention or put yourself in a spot
On a miss, the deal goes sour.
If the steading has the Market tag, take +1 on this move.
(thieves with Connections can use that move instead)
Here are the two moves from apocalypse world
When you go into a holding’s bustling market, looking for some particular thing to buy, and it’s not obvious whether you should be able to just like go buy one like that, roll+sharp. On a 10+, yes, you can just go can buy it like that. On a 7–9, the MC chooses one of the following:
• it costs 1-barter more than you’d expect
• it’s available, but only if you meet with a guy who knows a guy
• damn, I had one, I just sold it to this guy named Rolfball, maybe
you can go get it off him?
• sorry, I don’t have that, but maybe this will do instead?
When you make known that you want a thing and drop jingle to speed it on its way, roll+barter spent (max roll+3). It has to be a thing you could legitimately get this way. On a 10+ it comes to you, no strings attached. On a 7–9 it comes to you, or something pretty close. On a miss, it comes to you, but with strings very much attached.
Well, Dw has it’s own version of those moves – Supply.
Offload is supposed to be the reverse Supply. Normal stuff you can just buy or sell. Non-normal, you have to do this.
Yes, I totally blacked out there…
Since all the 7-9 effects are beneficial, shouldn’t you pick more of them on a 10+ instead of fewer?
Argh, you’re right, I forgot to reverse that.
