So, while waiting for the official Rat Queens *World game, I’ve volunteered to run a RQ-inspired game. I feel like this move is on the right track, but I’m not sure I have it right – I’d appreciate any advice or tweak suggestions you wise folk might have. (I’ve never seen Roll -Stat in DW. Does it even make sense?)
When you use sex as leverage to Parley, roll -Bond. On a 10+, choose 2, On a 7-9, choose 1.
– You get what you asked for.
– There are no hard feelings.
– You don’t write a new Bond with your sex partner.

Gaston Phillips, I cannot plus this enough!
Hm, do you envision people having sex for information with people they have an established bond with often? Seems like something you’d do with a no-name town guard, or a naive prince you’re about to rob.
What if the move was:
When you use sex as leverage to parley, roll+CHA.
On a 10+, choose 2. On a 7-9, choose 1.
– You get what you asked for.
– There are no hard feelings.
– You don’t write a new Bond with your sex partner.
However, if you have a Bond with them already, you get what you asked for, no roll required, and they choose 1.
– They mark experience.
– They get what they ask for in return, right now.
If a player wants there to be hard feelings, likewise Bond between characters can happen as per usual, and involve the sex they had earlier or not.
I just feel like moves should have player vs NPC in mind.

Hm. I don’t know when I started thinking that Bonds didn’t have to be with PCs, but this move is absolutely intended to be used on NPCs.
I mean of course you can have Bonds with NPCs, but only after you’ve known them a while. You’re flirting with Jim Nobody from the town you’ve just turned up in, you share nothing between each other, not yet.
