TPW Moves

Some of these moves outright replace corresponding special moves in classic GW.

Caving[]

When you venture into the caves of [Delver’s Defile], roll +WIS:

  • On 10+, You find your way to the vein of precious metal deep within, but getting out is another matter
  • On 7-9, you encounter a foul denizen or deadly hazard (ask the GM what).


Obscured Pits/Falls[]

When you cross [Ghost Hollow on a misty morning], roll +WIS:

  • On 10+, You notice the drop, and not a moment too soon
  • On 7-9, you step into it, but you have a split-second to save yourself from falling to a fate of the GM’s choosing. What do you do?


Foraging[]

When you spend a day seeking food in the wild, and your surroundings are not Barren, roll +WIS:

  • 10+ You gain 1d4 rations, +1d4 rations if you have the knowledge and gear needed to trap or hunt.
  • 7-9 As above, but first face a Discovery or Danger of the GM’s choice.
  • 6- Mark XP, and GM makes a move.

Journey[]

When you travel by a safe route, through safe or dangerous lands, indicate your destination on the map. The GM will tell you how long the trip takes, and what—if anything—happens along the way. When you reach your destination, choose someone to Manage Provisions to determine how many rations were consumed over the course of the trip.


Make Camp[]

When you settle in to rest, choose one member of the party to Manage Provisions. Then, if you eat and drink, and have enough XP, you may level up. If you’re bedding down in dangerous lands, decide on a watch order. Then, the GM chooses one person on watch during the night to roll +nothing:

  • 10+ The night passes without incident.
  • 7-9 GM chooses 1 from the list below.
  • 6- Everyone marks XP, and a Danger manifests. You’d better Stay Sharp!
    • The person on watch notices a nearby Discovery
    • One party member of the GM’s choice suffers a restless night
    • One or more followers causes trouble
    • A Danger approaches—it’s not immediately hostile, but whoever’s on watch had better Stay Sharp anyway


Stay Sharp[]

When you wake from at least a few hours of uninterrupted sleep, and you ate and drank the night before, heal damage equal to half of your max HP.


Undertake a Perilous Journey[]

When you travel through dangerous lands, and not on a safe route, indicate the course you want to take on the map and ask the GM how far you should be able to get before needing to Make Camp. If you’re exploring with no set destination, indicate which way you go. Then, choose one party member to Scout Ahead and one to Navigate, resolving those moves in that order.


Scout Ahead[]

When you take point and look for anything out of the ordinary, roll +WIS:

  • 10+ Choose 2 from the list below.
  • 7-9 Choose 1 from the list below.
  • 6- Mark XP, and GM makes a move.
    • You get the drop on whatever lies ahead
    • You discern a beneficial aspect of the terrain—shortcut, shelter, or tactical advantage (describe it)
    • You make a Discovery (ask the GM)
    • You notice sign of a nearby Danger —ask the GM what it is, and what it might signify

  • 7-9 GM chooses 1 from the list below.
  • 6- Mark XP, and GM makes a move.
    • You happen upon a Discovery missed by the scout

GM by how much)

    • The party consumes the expected amount and the food you prepare is excellent—describe it, and everyone

who licks their lips takes +1 forward

  • 7-9 The party consumes the expected amount of rations (1 per person

if Making Camp, 1 per person per day if making a Journey).

  • 7-9 Things aren’t going to change any time soon. You can Forge Ahead, or Make Camp here for the night and hope things have changed by

morning.

    • On second thought, maybe you’re better off staying put.

If you make progress, ask the GM where you end up on the map, and if the weather shows any sign of relenting.
