The Traitor

When you willingly ally or collaborate with the enemies of Northwatch, you immediately gain this move:

Double Agent

Before the beginning of a session, you can secretly ask the GM one question. If it is something your collaborators would realistically know about, the GM will answer you, as much as they know. The GM will then tell you what they ask in return from you. If you do it by the end of the session, mark XP. If not, you cannot use this move again until you do something to regain their trust.

If you are a Double Agent, you MUST choose from the following moves when you level up, you can no longer pick moves from your other playbooks or compendium classes.

Sleeper Agent

Gain a non-multiclass move from your original base playbook.

Coward

When you Run Away, you choose one less option, even on a 6-.

Saboteur

You may instead ask a service of your collaborators instead of a question. Except them to make a greater demand of you in exchange, however.

Judas’ Kiss

When you stab your allies in the back or set them up to die, roll+CHA. *On a hit, you get away with it and can escape to betray again, assuming no one survives to tell the tale. *On a 7-9, you leave behind some physical evidence of your betrayal. *On a 6- there can be no redemption; you become a villain under the GM’s control.

An Offer You Can’t Refuse

When you do not fulfill a request made by your collaborators, they will come for you. If you survive, and can convince the rest of the group to trust you again, you can discard this compendium class and all of its moves.

  1. I think this would be a great idea for a different setting or style of play than traditional dungeon world. For example, something like this could be in a spy game, where double and triple agents are part of the fun.
