Here is a little treat for #halloween . Its a couple of DW moves for a Ravenloft like setting. I wanted to have a whole set of rules but couldn’t make it in time. Please comment and if you like the idea check my project at http://mistofdread.blogspot.mx/
Happy Halloween!

those are kinda cool, but it doesn’t take into account that warriors while not having the highest wisdom, tend to be the braver characters.
Well, I know, but rolling +STR will be quite weird, right? I mean if you see the Defy danger move, you have to use +WIS to defy it thru mental fortitude =) That’s why in the first place I wanted to change the stats for my hack to this:
-MIGHT: meaning aggressive, violent, physically strong, resilient.
-FINESSE: meaning artfully subtle, graceful, quick, nimble.
-STEEL: meaning cool headed, resolute, strong-willed, unfazed.
-REASON: meaning rational, clever, alert, perceptive, learned.
-PASSION: meaning impulsive, intuitive, sensitive, alluring, inspiring, full of fervor.
Plus this 2 special stats:
-TAINT: meaning stained with corruption, dark-hearted, connected to the Dark Powers.
-VIRTUE: meaning holy, righteous, good-hearted, ethical, highly moral.
those stats work pretty good.
I’ve mulled on how to mechanically work DW into a place called The Mist Isles, since that is a hypothetical setting not affiliated with any copyrighted material. Here’s the core move/mod I’ve got so far (use it as you see fit)
When you commit an act of bloodlust, treachery, or murder, then Roll + Mist
On a 10+ set your Mist score to zero and choose one of the following :
– The Powers of the Mist force on you a visible, powerful ability based on your actions. The MC will tell you what the ability is and why people can see it. It may come with a cost.
– The Powers of the Mist force on you a hidden, minor supernatural power based on your actions. The MC will tell you what the ability is. It may come with a cost.
On a 7-9 add one point to your Mist score.
On a miss the Powers of the Mist are unconcerned.
you dont have anything happen on a miss?
Nope!
The implied goal is to not become cursed with awesome but costly powers. The odds don’t add up properly if done in standard “low is bad, high is good” style, but if you inverted it it would make more sense. Which is to say :
When you commit an act of bloodlust, treachery, or murder, Roll Minus Mist
On an 8+ the Powers of the Mist are unconcerned.
On a 5-7 add one point to your Mist score.
On a 4 or less set your Mist score to zero and choose one of the following :
– The Powers of the Mist force on you a visible, powerful ability based on your actions. The MC will tell you what the ability is and why people can see it. It may come with a cost.
– The Powers of the Mist force on you a hidden, minor supernatural power based on your actions. The MC will tell you what the ability is. It may come with a cost.
