Never Look Back and Scoundrel with a Cause give your character a little bit of background right off the bat while giving the GM some toys to play with in terms of characters who want to find you and bring you in. Pair that with the Gold Dice, a move that lets you bring in characters from your past…

… and this playbook has some real narrative power beyond just “you’re the Han Solo of the group.” It also has one of the most diverse move sets in the game. You can gain a ride-or-die via Life Debt. You can get any ship running with What a Piece of Junk. Nerf Herder gives you benefits from insults!

One of my favorite moves in this whole game though is Nothing to Fight For. I LOVE splitting the party in PbtA. NtFF insures the Scoundrel stays loveable. You might leave them during a big important fight, but you’re gonna come back with information they need to beat the Villain.

Ian, you’re not gonna believe this, but I woke up from a dream this morning trying to remember if it was “piece of junk” or “hunk of junk.” Thank you. (Sadly I can’t remember what the dream was to prompt that question.)
