I gut a great new move, for people who want to role play better
When you Take a job that’s way past what your character can endure Roll + CON
on a 10+ you make it all the way through the job receiving praise from a peer.
on a 7-9 the job gets done but with 1 of these costs
-Your character loathes his work and will find it difficult to hide his anger from anyone.
-The job got done because you took a shortcut (describe it) the GM will introduce a complication that will cause trouble for you if discovered
-You hurt yourself by pushing yourself more than you should. if your carry weight = 1/2 your load, treat yourself as encumbered
on a 6- You either collapse exhausted or unleash your frustration, either way you failed to do the job and take the consequences for it.
Don’t forget to mark XP. 🙂
Mark XP and get demoted scrub!
I could see this being used for a specific job, but not every time work needs to be done. I’m also not a fan of moves that have a 6- clause. But that’s just personal taste.
How does that help me role play better?
Maybe I’m missing the point but after reading the move I have a few questions.
1. What is the purpose of the move? It seems to be for doing boring, manual labor.
2. If it is for manual labor why limit the move to +con? It seems like you could just as easily call for a defy danger (the danger being failure to complete the job) and that actually expands the role play potential better. My thief might complete a job by working fast +dex. A wizard might instead be efficient +int, or in the case of the original move, a paladin who just toughs it out +con. Having a move with a single possible stat to roll just undermines the intention of expanding roleplay.
Now, as mentioned above, if this is for a very specific job, which would require toughing it out, or lots of endurance, above any other skills, then totally, great move!
I literally wrote this at midnight after a 7 hour work shift with no break
I just wanted to poke fun at myself in a Dungeon World way.
Don’t take it too seriously, but you never know when you’ll need it (Enslaved and forced to work)
