This is an idea I had for a GM organization tool, an index card to hold information on dangers. The front side gives a short summary of the danger, along with a countdown clock from AW to give a graphical representation of how strong the danger has grown. The back has the GMs notes, including grim portents, stakes, and moves for the danger.

  1. The ‘Circles’ move is a favoutite of mine – love it! Gives the Bard some great moments in town – I like to have the PC take an empty bond slot with the NPC they find… on a 7-9 its not so positive.

    With my portents, I layer them on top of one another with post-its on the index card, and each time I get to make a hard move I dramatically tear one off with a flourish and instigate the next grim portent, all the while chuckling manically. Works a treat!

  2. You want a place for cast, don’t you – NPCs related to the Front? With combat stats where relevant.

    (The way I understand the terms, if it has grim portents and an impending doom, it’s a Front, not a Danger.)

  3. Ah! Interesting. I’m not sure I’d want to do it that way — it seems like it might be a bit like “speaking the name of the move”, even if you’re only showing a countdown clock. But maybe that’s just me.

  4. colin roald, grim portents and impulses belong to Dangers. The breakdown of fronts in the rulebook makes this a little unclear, but you can see it in the example front starting on page 202.
