QUICK/PRECISE/POWERFUL

This is a generic PbtA hack aimed at improvising games with minimal equipment.


CHARGEN:

Choose Name & Concept. Choose 2 Adjectives (or choose 1 twice): Quick / Precise / Powerful


PLAYING:

GameMaster - Set a situation that provides an imminent threat or a great opportunity.
Player - React to the threat/opportunity and roll 2d6 (+1 if Concept helps). Call this number Performance.
GameMaster - Interpret the result taking into account whether the action has been Quick, Precise and/or Powerful:

    For each Adjective, if Performance + Adjective is in:

        [0,6] the action hasn't been Adjective enough.
        [7,9] the action may be Adjective if the character is willing to sacrifice something.
        [10…] the action has been clearly Adjective.

    The GameMaster may assign temporary Conditions to the characters (±1 to Performance each, while they apply).

    The outcome of each action should drive the story forward. Play to find out what happens.


STORY-SEEDS:

* You're in a tavern. A hooded man keeps staring at you. What do you do?
* You wake up in a room you've never been before. What do you do?
* You find a strange pouch in your pocket. It is full of gems. What do you do?
