Moves þ Well-Travelled: When you arrive in a foreign land, you may have already visited the place before, or know someone here who you met elsewhere. Make a roll and add Charm. On a 6- there is no-one here that can help you; on a 7-9 you make a contact but must help them out first (pay their gambling debts, help them attain the object of their desire, make amends for a previous disagreement), and on a 10+ they will do what they can to help you for old times’ sake. � Cultural Ties: You have lived extensively with indigenous people in several places. When you have any dealings with native peoples, add +1 to any rolls you make. You can also calm tense situations through use of diplomacy.

the immediate threat of violence is gone and your opponents will be willing to talk. Note that some situations are simply too far gone for diplomacy and calm words to have any effect (such as when you interrupt the insane cultists’ ritual, thus stopping their lifelong held plans to summon an elder god and open a rift so it may enter your world). � Linguist: You have great facility with languages, and pick up dialects easily. Gain an extra 2 (living) languages. � Forensic Anthropology: When you Read a Scene, add +1 to your roll and use either Awareness or Brain. � Cultural Anthropology: When you Read a Crowd, Add +1 to your roll and use either Awareness or Brain. � At Home in the Jungle: When you have to make any roll to survive in a hazardous environment (mostly Defy Danger rolls), add +1 to your roll.

Moves þ Personal Collection: You have amassed quite the library and know just where to look: When making a Raid the Library Move, add +1 and do it in half the time. � Consult the Catalogues!: When making an Express your Erudition Move about an object, add +1 to your roll to reflect your knowledge. � I Have Just the Thing: If you need a particular artifact for a ritual, to bribe someone with, or for whatever other reason, you know where you can lay hands on it. On a 6- the item is not for sale, or some other buyer beat you to it. On a 7-9 you can get it easily but the current owner wants something in return. Make a roll and add Charm: There is a bidding war for the object; you will have to temporarily expend 1 Wealth (for the next month carry -1 forward to any Wealth rolls you make). On

a 10+ you have one at the shop or know a supplier who owes you a favour or will give it to you on the shop’s credit. � Friends in High Places: You frequently act as an agent at auctions to important and wealthy clients, which gives you an “in” to their soirees and parties and dropping their names frequently gives you access elsewhere too. When you want to crash a VIP party, make a roll + Charm. On a 7-9 you gain entrance but the names you drop might not appreciate you using their names in such a manner, which will lead to some complication or other. On a 10+ you gain full access. In addition, if you are strapped for cash, you can sell some gewgaw or other to one of your clients. Once a month you can add +1 to a Spread the Wealth Move to account for your good fortune and their exquisite taste. � Experts on Retainer: When you make a Raid the Library Move, you may consult experts in the field on the subject for a second opinion. If you choose to do so, make a second roll at +2. You must abide by the results of the second roll, so this is usually only worth doing if you roll 6- on your original roll. � An Eye for A Bargain: When you Read a Scene, you may also add “what here is valuable?” to the questions you can ask on a 7+.

Moves þ Special Interest: Choose a speciality (for example, Ancient Egypt, Incan Civilisation, Ancient Chinese Dynasties, etc). When you make an Express your Erudition or Raid the Library Move applicable to your area of interest, add +1 to your roll. � The Deader the Better: You have a flair for dead languages. Add two (dead) languages to your list. Examples are Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Latin, Ancient Greek, Hebrew, Mayan Pictographs and the like. � Close Study: When you have the time to inspect a scene thoroughly and make a Read the Scene roll, you may roll 3D6 and choose the best two. � International Bureaucracy: You’re used to a lot of red tape, applying for licences, visas and the like both in your home country and others. Whenever you face difficulties and Byzantine administrative agencies, use your knowledge and credentials to avoid getting the run-around. Roll and add Brain. On a 6- you are still somewhat stymied. On a 7-9 you successfully

get what you wanted, but choose one of the following complications: Someone is tipped off to your quest; You have to give the accustomed bribes in order to succeed (your next Spread the Wealth roll is at -1); You piss off the bureaucrats (you will always carry -1 ongoing with any further dealings with this organisation). On a 10+ you successfully achieve your goal with no further complications. � Patience is a Necessity, not a Virtue: Carefully unearthing a brittle artifact takes a lot of patience and time. When time is no problem, carry +1 forward to the next Move you make to represent the preparation you have done beforehand. If it involves fine motor control (and a Co-ordination roll), add another +1. � Personal Collection: You have a variety of artifacts from digs you have attended. Roll 1D6 twice and choose the best result; you have this many artifacts. They can be sold (each one sold will gain you a +1 ongoing to Spread the Wealth rolls for the next month), can be used to ingratiate you with an interested third party (in order to gain access to otherwise private records or collections), or can be traded for another artifact (such as one needed for a particular ritual).

Moves þ Personal Collection: You have amassed quite the library and know just where to look: When making a Raid the Library Move, add +1 and do it in half the time. � Publisher’s advance: You can boost a Spread the Wealth roll by +2 once per month, though your next Spread the Wealth roll carried forward will be at -1, and you cannot get another advance until you make this penalized roll. � Translators: Your publishers translate works into other languages all the time, and have a stable of people willing to help you. If you have a text written in another (human) language, they can translate it into English for you. It will take around a week to get the gist of the book and a month to get a full translation.

� Well-Read: Once per session you can apply your amassed knowledge on a subject. You can make a second Express your Erudition roll, though you have to abide by the second result, so usually it’s best to use this only when you’ve failed the first roll. � Thinking In Character: When you are trying to work out an opponent’s plans, you put yourself into the mind of a character to ask what you would do in a similar situation. Sometimes, it even works. Roll and add Awareness. On a 6- you don’t know enough about your opponent to come up with anything. On a 7-9, you gain some insight, and your GM will give you some clue as to what your opponent is planning, r what he or she expects you to do. On a 10+, you gain the same information but also gain a +1 forward to your next Move against that opponent. � Well-Acquainted with Deadlines: When time is of the essence, you keep your cool. Any rolls you make where time is a factor, such as many Defy Danger rolls, you may make a second roll but must abide by the results of the second roll, so usually it’s best to use this only when you’ve failed the first roll.

Either way, it takes the heat off you and allows you to watch a location or tail a person without them noticing you. � Drifter’s Pack: You travel light, but your pockets have a multitude of small items hidden away that might prove useful. If you need some string, or a bit of wire, some small amount of food to distract an angry

Moves þ Well-Travelled: When you arrive in a foreign land, you may have already visited the place before, or know someone here who you met elsewhere. Make a roll and add Charm. On a 6- there is no-one here that can help you; on a 7-9 you make a contact but must help them out first (pay their gambling debts, help them attain the object of their desire, make amends for a previous disagreement), and on a 10+ they will do what they can to help you for old times’ sake. � Prepared for Anything: You keep a well-organised pack.

Moves þ Intimidate: Replace Charm with Brawn for Make Friends and Influence People rolls when you rely on your physical presence. � Patch it up: It’s going to need a proper repair, but you’ve patched it up enough to last you in the short term. Broken machinery can be made to work again, but it’s only just hanging on. Any time you need to operate it, roll and add Co-ordination. On a 6-, it stops working again. On a 7-9 it will just make it to your goal but then fail, and in the meantime you need to keep an eye on it, which means you are at -1 to all other Moves until you make it to your goal. On a 10+ you have done a decent enough job that it will last until you can make a proper repair. � Tool Kit: You carry a variety of tools around with you for all occasions. Given enough time, you can effect any repairs that you need to make or build a machine of some sort. Your GM may require you to make a Spread the Wealth roll to buy parts however. This also means you will always have access to something that can be used as an improvised weapon that does 2 Damage. When you want to use a tool to aid

you in a move, roll and add Brawn. On a 6-, you only have a right hand angled multi-socket sprocket wrench when you need a left hand angled multi-socket sprocket wrench. On a 7-9, you gain a +1 carried forward to your next Move that utilises a tool, and on a 10+ you may roll 3d6 on the next Move that utilises the tool and pick the best two dice from the result. � Spot Flaws: When you Read the Scene, you may also ask “what here is dangerous / what flaws or weak points are obvious” on a 7+. Gain a +1 forward if you exploit that weakness in some way. � Brute Force and Ignorance: When you use your physical might against something, roll and add Brawn. On a 6- you are unsuccessful. On a 7-9 you are successful but must choose one of the following options: You make a lot of noise; You damage what you were attempting to move / lift / open; You tire yourself out giving you a -1 carried forward to your next Move. On a 10+ you do whatever it is successfully without any complications. � Odd Jobs: No matter where you are, you can always spot something in need of repair. Make a roll and add either Charm or Brain (your choice). On a 6- there is little money to be made hereabouts. On a 7-9 you earn enough that you carry +1 forward to your next Spread the Wealth Move. On a 10+, your Wealth temporarily goes up by +1 for the next month.

� Cameraman: You are in the habit of taking pictures whenever you can, and sometimes when you look at the photos, you notice things you missed the first time around. When you Read the Scene you may roll a second time if you wish, but you have to abide by the results of the second roll. � Digging Up Dirt: You have a variety of sources (usually off the record) who can tell you the latest about various people. Make a roll and add Charm: On a 6- there’s little gossip, or no-one wants to talk about them. On a 7-9, you have to add a few incentives to get people to talk (Take a -1 forward to your next Spread the Wealth Move), and on a 10+ your gossip network comes up with the goods without any coaxing. � Expense Account: If you fail a Spread the Wealth roll, you can have another attempt, but doing so means you carry -1 ongoing to your next Spread the Wealth Moves for the rest of the month.

The Radical Name: __________________________________ Looks: Face: __________________________________ Clothing: _______________________________ Body: ___________________________________

Moves þ Support Group: You belong to an underground cell of fellow radicals. When you want to call on your support group for help, roll and add Charm. On a 6- there is no-one available right now to help you. On a 7-9, someone will aid you but wants you to do them a favour in return (either before, at the same time, or in the future), and on a 10+ they give you the required help you need. � Rent a Mob: You can arrange a distraction on short notice by putting the word out. An impromptu strike, a demonstration in the street, or a political march can be organized very quickly, giving you and your comrades the ideal opportunity to deal with another matter elsewhere in relative peace and quiet. � International Conspiracies: When you need something below the counter in a place you have never been to before, roll and add Charm: On a 6-, you find no comrades in arms here that will do business with you. On a 7-9, you find a few like-minded people who can arrange what you need, but with a complication (choose one): One of the cell is a police spy; they need a

donation to the cause (Make a Spread the Wealth Move); it’s going to take a while before they can arrange delivery. On a 10+, they can deliver immediately. � Debout, les Damnés de la Terre: Your steadfast belief in revolutionary struggle gives you great courage. When you make a Keep it Together Move, add +1 to your roll. � On the Lam: When you seek to escape a dangerous scene (including if handcuffed or tied up), make a Stay in the Shadows Move. On a 7-9 you can escape if you wish, but with a complication (you leave something behind, you take a 2 Damage hit as you leave, you have to deal with the guard first). On a 10+ you succeed without any complications. � Bomb Throwing Anarchist: You know how to rig up home-made explosives from fairly innocuous materials. Make a roll and add Co-ordination. On a 6-, something has gone badly wrong: Roll 1D6 and take that much Damage as you get caught in the explosion. On a 7-9 you have created a small bomb, but with a complication (choose one of the following): The authorities have been tipped off by whoever sold you the ingredients you needed; the bomb isn’t as powerful as you thought (it might be less powerful and not do as much damage, or be too powerful and you get caught in the radius of the explosion); it is unstable (make a roll and add Co-ordination if you get knocked around while carrying it; on a 6- it goes off). On a 10+ it works as intended. The bomb will generally do 1D6 Damage to its target.

Moves þ Cop Talk: You have many contacts amongst the police force, and know how they work. Use the Make Friends and Influence People Move in order to access police records, get access to crime scenes or find out off the record information from them. � Forensics knowledge: You have a practiced eye at examining crime scenes. When you make a Read the Scene Move, add +1 to the number of questions you can ask on a success. � A Devil with a Nightstick: When you were on the force, you had a reputation for being a bit heavy-handed with the nightstick. When you use a hand to hand weapon like a nightstick, add +1 to your Damage. � A Rat on Every Corner: You have an excellent network of contacts at the street

level. When you want to hear what’s going down on the streets, roll and add Charm or Brawn: On a 6-, no-one can be found to help you. On a 7-9, someone squeals, but there’s a complication (choose one of the following): they want a pay-off before they talk (make a Spread the Wealth Move); They pass the word along that someone’s asking questions to the target of your investigation as well; You don’t get the full story. On a 10+ your informant is happy to help you. You can use this Move in other cities too by picking on local lowlifes that look like they’d know the score. � Duty Stays With You: Even though you left the force, you still can’t help but act to save others. When you make a Move in defence of an innocent (Defy Danger to rush into a burning house to rescue someone, Keep it Together to stand and hold off the gribblies while the others make their escape, etc), gain a +1 to your roll. � Stop! Police!: Your general air of authority and commanding voice lend themselves to help you when you bark an order at someone. Roll and add Brawn: On a 6- they simply ignore you. On a 7-9, the GM chooses one of the following: They do as you say; They try to flee; They attack you. On a 10+ the same occurs but you have a +1 ongoing against them for the rest of the scene if they don’t do as you say.

Moves þ Special Interest: Choose a speciality (for example, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, etc). When you make an Express your Erudition or Raid the Library Move applicable to your area of interest, add +1 to your roll. ☐ Lab Pass: You have access to quality laboratories. When you come across something you wish to analyse, roll and add Brain. On a 6- you learn little about the object or substance. On a 7-9 you can ask 1 question and on a 10+ you can ask 3 questions of the GM about the object or substance. � A Rational Mind: If there is some way you can rationally explain something that appears to be unworldly or unnatural, then any Sanity Shock test you make is at one level lower (to a minimum of 1) than usual. � Replicate the Experiment: If you have a sample of a substance, and analyse it

thoroughly (perhaps using the Lab Pass Move), you can recreate it if you have access to similar materials. If the base materials are expensive, hard to get hold of, or if you want to create large amounts of the substance, then you may need to make a Spread the Wealth Move. Make a roll and add Brain. On a 6-, your experiment is a failure. On a 7-9 you have something similar, but that isn’t exactly the same. On a 10+ you have succeeded in replicating the substance. You cannot replicate a substance that requires exotic materials such as the blood of an elder god. � Mad Science!: If you can get access to a lab, you create something which will help you in the following session in some way. You may choose what item you have created beforehand or wait till an opportune moment and then pull out your vaunted creation with a flourish. Once per session, use your creation to give you a +1 to any roll you have to make. Unfortunately, since it’s a prototype, it isn’t sturdy and will break after use, so you only get one use out of it. � On the Nobel Shortlist: When you make an Express your Erudition Move, you may immediately make a second roll, though you must abide by the results of the second roll. This is usually only useful when you have failed your first roll.
