Those who can Hunt and Track or have a very good map, add +1 to the roll

  1. Any reason the PCs could not become professional artifact diggers? 

    Maybe: When you dig in a new part of the ruins roll+WIS (i could also see CON working here)

    Wrestle the Chamipon seems like a big subsystem for something the game handles well. 

    Why only go with this 1 move when you could get more variety out of Discern Realities+Defy Danger+Hack&Slash? 

    I don’t know if this is a good idea. Secondly, you don’t really define what “space” is. I would only evel choose Dirty Trick on a 7-9 since my enemy wouldn’t do something to me when they are stunned. Then, on a 10+ i would just go Dirty Trick+Flurry of Blows/Catch your breath (if i took a hit).

    At least split this up into 3-4 moves.

    When you attack the champion in a wrestling match

    When you are stunned

    When you lock down the champion in a wrestling match

    If you don’t have enough space 

    or something like that.

    The rest looks fine. 

  3. “Wrestle the Champion” was intended to be like a duel, with both sides moving back and forth, gaining and losing the advantage. It makes more sense if “1 damage” in the text is replaced with “1 point”.

    It worked moderately well in actual play – the players used the move to impress the tribal chieftan and had a good time calling out wrestling moves and betting on the action.
