The world needs you. It needs

someone brave enough to walk

blindly into the darkness, and to

shine a light for all the lost souls

out there. They need a champion.

They can’t do it alone.

Sex Move

Playing The Chosen

When you have sex, heal all of

your wounds, and cure all of your

Conditions. If they disgust you, give

them a String. If you disgust yourself,

give them a String.

Powerful, vengeful, conlicted,

masochistic. The Chosen is a monster

slayer who inds themselves drawn to

the darkness.

There’s just that one

nagging worry, the one

that rears its head at

the worst possible

moments: what if

you’re not good

enough?

Introducing The Chosen into a game

shifts the attention towards ighting

a big bad villain, someone external to

the PCs. While The Chosen still creates

inter-PC turmoil, this shift can have a

big impact on the tone of the game.

Darkest Self

None of your friends can help. They’re

not strong like you are. You need

to chase down the biggest threat

imaginable, immediately and alone.

Any challenges or dangers that you

encounter must be faced head on,

even if they might kill you. You escape

your Darkest Self when someone

comes to your rescue or you wake up

in the hospital, whichever comes irst.

For Mercy to qualify, there must be at

least the implied possibility that you

were going to kill them. This could

include uttering and then retracting a

death threat in the lunchroom.

If you take Final Showdown , it signals

to the MC that you want to see

doomsday monsters and powerful

underworld foes. Similarly, when

you name a monster during “your

backstory,” use the opportunity

to create a character that you’re

interested in exploring (and

confronting) with your character.

assisting you. On a 10 up, choose two.

Final Showdown

Spend 4 Strings you have on an NPC to

kill them. They are irrevocably dead.

They can spend any Strings they have

against you to deal you harm, 1-for-1,

on the way out.

Take the Blow

When you leap into the way and take

the blow instead of someone else, roll

with Volatile. On a 10 up, you take the

harm instead of them, but reduce it by

1. • On a 7-9, you take the harm instead

of them.

Notes

Cold

Come Prepared

You have an outlandishly large armory,

Your Backstory

Strings

You have two friends who you can

rely on for monster-slaying support.

Take a String on each.

There’s someone who knows that

you’re the Chosen one, and wants you

dead. The MC gives them a name and

two Strings on you.

Sex Move

Playing The Fae

At the edges of this world, just

beyond the veil, there are colours

that few mortals even dream of.

Beauty enough to shatter any

heart. The Fae live and breathe at

the edges of this world. They keep

a dusting of that magic tucked

behind their ears, just in case.

When you lie naked with another, you

can ask them for a promise. If they

refuse, take 2 Strings on them.

Alluring, exotic, ickle, vengeful. The

Fae is all about extracting promises,

and wielding faerie vengeance when

those promises are broken.

Darkest Self

The Fae are hot and hard to resist.

They use those attributes to get

promises from people, and those

promises hold cosmic power. Their low

Cold and Volatile stats make it hard to

shut others down or keep them at bay.

Instead, they excel at getting close to

people.

Everything you say is a promise.

Everything you hear is a promise. If

a promise is broken, justice must be

wrought in blood. To escape your

Darkest Self, you must in some way

re-balance the scales of justice.

And the Fae are willing to share.

They’re nothing if not generous,

asking for only one thing in

return. A promise. Keep it, and

the true beauty of the world will

be revealed. Break it, and feel the

wrath of faery vengeance.

Faery Contract gives mechanical

weight to broken promises. You gain

Strings and new powers. Those new

String-spending options are assumed

to be magical in some way. You can

cause them to “fuck up something

simple at a crucial moment” just by

sitting on the bleachers and wishing

that they would. Your will seems to

manifest itself in the world.

Advancement

Take another Fae move.

Take a move from another Skin.

You belong to a Jury of Fae .

Add 1 to Hot (max 3).

Add 1 to Cold (max 3).

Add 1 to Volatile (max 3).

Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

The Fae

Write down any promises you receive.

There’s no move that allows you to

force a promise out of someone, but

clever roleplaying and mechanical

incentives can help you here.

Your Darkest Self has a very ambiguous

“escape clause.” What is required to

re-balance the scales of justice will

be entirely situational. You and the

MC should both be in agreement that

things have been set right, before you

can escape yourself.

Notes

The Constant Bargain

When someone asks you to do

something important for them, and

you do it, roll with hot. On a 10 up,

they lose a String on you, and you gain

one on them. • On a 7-9, choose one or

the other. • On a miss, you’ve shown

that they can walk all over you, and

they take a String on you.

Cold

(Shut Someone Down, Hold Steady)

Guide

If you spend a String on someone

willing, you can bring them across

the veil, into the faery court. The spell

doesn’t last long, though, before you’re

both returned to the mundane world.

Volatile

Unashamed

You can give someone a String on you to

Sex Move

Playing The Ghost

When you have sex with someone,

you both get to ask a question of one

another’s characters. This can be

spoken by your character, or simply

asked player-to-player. The other person

must answer honestly and directly.

Tormented, insecure, intuitive, ickle.

The ghost is all about channeling past

trauma, seeing people’s true selves,

and having spooky powers.

Ghosty ghost.

You’re dead.

There are several diferent directions

to take The Ghost. The irst is a callous

and dangerous spirit, using Unresolved

Trauma and Vengeful to vent your pain

upon the next generation. The second

is a voyeuristic and lonely spook,

forever trapped in a state of pubescent

tragedy. Creep and Hungry Ghost both

contribute here. The third is someone

trapped in a cycle of confused

self-haunting, vacillating between

Unresolved Trauma and Forgive and

Forget . Certainly other interpretations

are possible. The Ghost has a great

deal of emotional range to explore.

Darkest Self

You become invisible. No one can

see you, feel you, or hear your

voice. You can still afect inanimate

objects, but this is your only avenue

of communication. You escape

your Darkest Self when someone

acknowledges your presence, and

demonstrates how much they want

you around.

Advancement

Other characters can remove the

blamed Condition in the same way

that they would remove any other

Condition.

Take another Ghost move.

Take a move from another Skin.

You have a House of Spooks .

Add 1 to Hot (max 3).

Add 1 to Cold (max 3).

Add 1 to Volatile (max 3).

Add 1 to Dark (max 3).

The Ghost

When you use Dissipate to escape a

scary or tense situation, it still counts

as running away .

The 7-9 options for Hungry Ghost

represent the dangerous side of being

tool to gain power over you.

Forlorn, meek, distant, stufy, out of

place, brooding

An antiquated name, a mournful

name, a stufy-sounding name, a

Hollow eyes, dull eyes, unnerving

eyes, piercing eyes, pained eyes

The idea behind the House of Spooks

gang is that you reside within a

haunted house, or have somehow

banded together with the spirit

inhabitants of a haunted house.

Discuss with the MC the physical

limitations that your gang experiences,

as well as the amount of power they

have over those who enter the house.
