At the beginning of the game, the Djinn chooses another character as its master.

YES, MASTER

When your master directly asks you to help him, don’t roll for aiding a pc.

Instead, say how you intend to use your powers; the GM will tell you a price.

Then, choose:

– you pay the price, and your Master gets +3 to the roll.

– your master pays the price and gets +3 to the roll.

– you both get -1 forward.

I’d like to show an inherent danger for both the djinn and the master in using these powers, but i’m not sure wether i’m going in the right direction.

  1. If you haven’t already, I would look to The Show playbook from Apocalypse World, and to the Pay The Price move from Fellowship. The Show has a similar relationship with the one who holds their leash (and might provide inspiration besides), while the Pay The Price move mechanises what a “Price” might be (allowing for less GM stress and for the same “pay a price” mechanic to be used in other moves for the Djinn).

  2. Esteban de la Peña it’s intended to change from time to time.

    Es: The Master rolls and makes a 5 for Discerning Realities in the middle of a ruined city.

    Master:”Djinn, help me to see with clarity what happened here!”

    Djinn Player: “I spin the sunlight in woven threads around everything that may be important to my master”

    MC: “Cool, but one of you will not see clearly for a while. What do you do?”

    Djinn “The master pays the price.”
