I’m trying to figure out a front I’m working on for my current DW game. The concept is a plague, without getting into too much detail with the background on it, how would you create a disease vector as a front?
Further info: the disease is called The Hex Plague and it was created from a bit of magic-eating monster. When infected folks change, distort, and become twisted versions of themselves, tending to attack those nearby to spread the disease.
I can see the infected being a sort-of Horde as their own danger, spreading the disease, but what about the plague itself? How would I classify it?
Thank you for any forthcoming help.
If you want to use one of the standard types, I’d go with Cursed Place (Shadowland: to corrupt or consume the living).
Obviously it’s not a Cursed Place, but the moves for that danger work reasonably well for a spreading infection.
Check out Ailments & Maladies. Then maybe check out The Escape (under Dungeon Starters).
