New Move November

Day 10

A Bloody Nose

Whenever you roll the harm move, even if you took 0-harm, take +1-hard-forward.

Empty Pockets

Once per session when you have 0-barter, it turns out you actually have something worth 1-barter.

A Rented Car

You've got a car on loan; detail it per a Driver's car. When you make a payment on it, mark XP. When you've paid it off, life becomes untenable.

A Trunk Full of Guns

Requires: a vehicle

You've got a fuck-off big gun, a serious gun, and a common gun or two, plus ammo, kept in your vehicle's trunk. When you've got downtime, you can resupply the ammo, and if no one's seen a particular gun in a while, you can swap it for another of the same tier.

Day 9

Wicked Cunning

When you might have caught someone off-guard, roll+cool. On a 7-9, pick 3 that might be true; they'll say which are true, at least one. On a 10+, pick 4 that might be true, instead, and they'll say which are true, at least two. On a miss, they pick 3 for you, instead, and you say which 2 are true.

- in what they say or what they do, they reveal their intentions

- in what they say or what they do, they reveal a weakness

- if you follow up by reading them, treat a miss as a 7-9

- if you follow up with an attack, you do +1-harm

- if they follow up with an attack, you get +1-armor

- you take +1-forward against them

Day 2

Disorganized

When you need a handful of ammo, enough gas to get somewhere with gas, one possibly life-saving kit, or enough food to last till sundown and it might be in your pockets, bags, car, closet, or stashed somewhere nearby, spend a moment digging around and roll+cool. On a hit, cool, you have it, but hold 1 with this move. On a 7-9, also pick one. On a miss, all three or prepare for the worst, your choice.

- hold +1

- it takes a while to find

- it's shit quality

When you've got time and opportunity, you can spend 2-barter to clear all hold from this move. When you've got 3+ hold, any time but probably not more than once per session, the MC might say "oh, that thing you had, you left it somewhere (and maybe you're not sure where!)", and when you've got 5+ hold you can't use this move at all.

What If Ultimate Had Custom Moves

(And they could be more creative with them): Mario

Neutral Specials Gold Fireball: Reworked Fire Orb using Gold Mario's fireballs as a base. A larger fire ball that is thrown forward like the normal version and explodes on contact or after half a second. Explosion does multiple weak hits (with the coin effect) and launches upward. Has longer end lag Cappy: Mario throws out Cappy, Cappy travels a medium distance and then pauses for 2 seconds. Cappy deals weak flinching damage to opponents on contact but bounces Mario similarly to Pac-Man's Trampoline. Touching Cappy, or using Neutral again recall's Cappy early.

Side Specials Star Spin: The galaxy spin attack. Doesn't spin opponents but does an upwards launching multi-hit that can still reflect projectiles. In the air it give Mario a small boost when used the first time. This move has longer end lag. Tanuki Tail: This spin has the most power of the three specials (not by too much) and is slightly faster than normal at the cost of most utility. It launches at low angles but doesn't reflect or spin. In the air it doesn't stall but boosts Mario forward slightly when used the first time. Down Specials Turbo Nozzle: Mario charges up FLUDD like before but it instead rockets forward on use dragging opponents in front with him. Hover Nozzle: On the ground Mario charges up FLUDD like before. Using it while in the air causes FLUDD (if charged) to use the hover nozzle letting Mario float similarly to using the Super Leaf item. Up Specials Propeller Box (or Suit): Mario spins directly upward damaging opponents above him, afterward his decent is slowed until he uses another move. No where near as strong and has more start up than Super Jump Punch. Can be angled slightly. Cannot be used again until Mario lands.

Trampoline: Mario spawns a Trampoline below him which bounces him upward. This trampoline is an item which can be used by and picked up by opponents and Mario after it is summoned.

Day 30

Embracing The End

When your life becomes untenable, die and choose one for every other PC...

- the maelstrom corrupts them (detail with them and the MC)

- I unlock a new or hidden skill, talent, or blessing in them (detail with them and the MC)

- they gain one of my moves, with or without explanation

- they gain +1 to a stat, where I have a higher stat than them

- they permanently mark an improvement bubble

- their vehicle, gang, establishment, holding, or other iconic thing improves, with or without explanation

- another fate of my choosing; if all accept, it stands, otherwise I'll choose another

New Move November

Day 29 (delayed, flu)

Seven-Breath Technique

When you lead a group in meditation, roll+weird. On a 7-9, everyone chooses one. On a 10+, you may also choose one for everyone.

- I open my brain to the group

- I use the group as augury

- I read the group as a person, like I'd rolled a 10+

- My wounds and ailments are distributed amongst the group

- ____ (a person in the group) reveals a secret to me

- I swear an oath to a person in the group, or the group as a whole

- ____ (a person in the group) and I trade memories

- I feel the emotions that ____ (a person in the group) feels

- I hold 1 with the group; the MC can spend this to have me show up where one of them is, or have one of them show up where I am, with or without explanation
