i think that if you're going to make a hypersexual game, you shouldn't half-ass it
LUST
The world is filled with horrible people who will sexualize you, and they'll kill you for it. The less you wear, the higher your LUST score. When an enemy lusts after you, add your LUST score to your armor class and attack roll, as well as their damage roll.

from the vaults. grief-eater is the little freak i keep making over and over in my game drafts
THE GRIEF-EATER
You consume the grief of others, and in turn take power from it. What drew you to this profane profession? Choose one:
-You do it in lieu of confronting your own grief. Think not of the one(s) you lost, lest you become consumed by it yourself. 
-You do it to ease the unbearable weight of loss in others. It may be fleeting, but it is a needed respite. 
-You do it because of what it gives you. The power to wield strange magicks, to watch others' memories, to have others gaze upon you with awe. 

Weapons (choose 1)
-A needle that sends a defenseless creature into a dreamless sleep until you prick them again. Tags: Intimate, poison. 
-A cruel dagger that can only deepen an existing wound. Tags: close, enchanted. When you slip through The Black Gates of Death, choose one:
-Funerals are held in Byrig, Adrift as its citizens become Woven and die—yours is the catalyst. In fact, rites spring up for the ending of more than just lives, as the great city realizes the way forward is through. 
-Grief takes hold of Byrig, Adrift and refuses to let go. Lamentations echo through its dark streets forever more, as none who have lost can hold back the flood. 
-Grief leaves with you. Byrig, Adrift becomes a cold place in its absence, its citizens numb to the tragedy and loss that permeates everyday life here.

going through game idea notes on my phone is fun because stuff like what's quoted is usually preceded by me talking to myself
how do we determine which tier happens when the move occurs? we could roll dice about it. that's simple, a lot of games do that. 

we could incentivise players. you get something for not always picking the top tier. 

we could put up a barrier. you have to spend a resource to get the top tier. you gain the resource by picking the bottom tier. or maybe the GM gets a resource if you pick the top tier. maybe both?? 

what about the middle tier? why pick it? maybe they get another resource. maybe that's how you advance? 

and what are these resources anyway? they're express permissions to do something. 

or maybe moves have tiers of success but they're a list of options. choose one/let the GM choose one etc. the advancement let's you unlock more options from the list. maybe both locally (playbook) and globally (basic moves)

the Calender has thrust upon us more holidays, that we may delight and despair
8. Menamaurnan. A time to honor and remember the twelve Moons that once graced Meridian’s night sky, before they were eaten by The Sun. The Last Moon always appears this night, to mourn her wives with the city. 
9. Mithen. The festival of masks. Parades flood the streets, but beware when two meet. Assemblies of amorous congress and pugilism contests are at their highest on this day of anonymity. 
10. Bilanx. Social order is reversed. Boss toils for laborers, the rich trade their finery for the rags of the poor, and princes hope they make it to the morrow lest they be replaced by their paupers.
11. Alyein. Also known as Wizards’ Day. A time for ingesting as many hallucinogens as one can. The phantasms become corporeal if enough people see the same one, which inevitably happens to the joy and/or terror of all. 
12. Dyrstig. A Day to make The Sun think twice. 24-hour wars are fought, competitions of endurance and feats of strength performed, and crowds gather to scream their lungs out at the Orb Beyond the Sky. One day It will come, and Meridian will not go down without a fight.

while the bees' influence has waned in recent times, the legacy of their reign can be felt by all those who wish to traverse the city
Tessellated Neighborhoods, Plexiform Streets
Due to an ancient and far-reaching anthophilous influence, the neighborhoods of Meridian fall into a hexagonal pattern when viewed from above. One might think this would ease navigation, and they'd even be correct—if it wasn't for the streets. 

The arteries of the Boundless city are an ever-shifting network of avenues and alleyways that circumvent reason. Citizens of a timid demeanor may spend their whole lives in their sexenary community for fear of never finding their way home. 

When attempting to leave a neighborhood, there is a 3-in-6 chance you will become lost. This chance is reduced by 1 if you have a Living Map of the vicinity. Likewise if you are well-acquainted with the neighborhood. You will never lose your way if you can convince an apiarist to guide you. 

If you do become lost, roll 1d6. On a 1, you fail to leave the neighborhood and a random encounter occurs. On any other number, you wind up traveling to different hex than you intended. A result of 2 is the next hex clockwise and so on, with 6 being the next hex counter-clockwise.

a dungeon crawl pbta? that uses 3d6+stat? it's more likely than you think
save
when you attempt to avoid imminent peril, roll+cautious. on a 14+ you avoid it. on an 10-13, you suffer a lesser form of the consequences. on a miss, you take the full effect. 

overcome
when you strive to do something beyond your ability, roll+intrepid. on a 14+, you manage to do it. on a 10-13, it costs you something (time, gear, positioning, effectiveness). on a miss, prepare for the worst. 

the dark 
when you are enveloped in darkness, roll+intrepid. on a 14+, you keep it together. on a 10-13, you are overwhelmed. on a miss, panic takes you, either flee or become incapacitated. 

overwhelmed
when you are overwhelmed, you must overcome to do things normally within your faculty. if you would roll for a move, roll another set of dice and decide which is for overcome and which is for the other move.

yes the sun is trying to break through the sky to eat us, but what's the color out today?
The Shattered-Glass-Sky
Each dawn, The Sun tries to break through the sky and the cracked firmament shifts under the pressure. Thus every day Meridian is bathed in a different color of refracted sunlight. 

Someday the sky will give way, and The Sun will swallow the city whole. But today is not that day. Rejoice! and roll on the following table to determine the hue. Mind the color-laws, and that dressing to match or clash with the sunlight has political implications. 

1. Red. Duels are legal, refusal of one illegal. They say the blood fills the deepest cracks in the sky. Don't ask how it gets up there. 
2. Orange. Collecting taxes, fines, fees, and rent is illegal. An Orange First of the Month is celebrated by nearly-all, and dreaded by those at the top of wretched hierarchy. 
3. Yellow. Cats have the right-of-way. Many stay home to avoid crossing a feline, as they have long figured this out and love to torment friend and foe alike.
4. Green. Eating plants is illegal, for today they can scream. Fast if you must, just don't disturb the peace. The sound will haunt you for weeks. 
5. Blue. Any speech above a whisper is punishable by fine, determined by decibel level. Unsurprisingly, many libraries have adopted this policy as well. 
6. Indigo. Exchanging money for goods is illegal. Be sure to hold on to some odds and ends to barter with, lest you go without. 
7. Violet. Stealing is legal. Try not to get caught, as possession of stolen goods will likely be illegal on the morrow. Most shops close, and bar their doors and windows. 
8. The same as the day before.

holidays in Boundless Meridian are as violent as they are joyous
3. Gebyrd. It is considered a lucky Year when this fertility celebration happens in Spring. It is customary to give flower wreaths to loved ones, decorate eggs with paint, and pelt your enemies with said eggs. 
4. Perdonum. A time for forgiveness. It is fashionable to gift food to those who pelted you with eggs last Gebyrd. Debtors who capture their creditors on this Day are released from their obligation. 
5. Steypa. The tea festival. The markets bustle on the most aromatic Day of the Year, but be wary of finding yourself between gangs of milk-befores and milk-afters with their weapons drawn. 
6. Badan. This Day of bathing is often used as a time of quiet reflection and a reprieve from the hectic activities of other Holidays. Friends and loved ones of orthodox worshipers of Saint Badan especially rejoice on this Day. 
7. Auctus. A time of feasts and merriment. None go hungry is the Law of the Day. Farmers jealously guard their crops, for ardent celebrants will harvest them regardless of their maturity.

today i've been daydreaming about a gonzo science-fantasy game. i started fleshing out the first thing that came to mind, a sentient calender
The Elusive Calendar 
Whether peasant or king, all who call Boundless Meridian home answer to The Calender. None know its Mind, and any attempts to influence its Will are ruinous for the interloper. 

At the end of a Year, roll 1d6+8 to determine how many Months are in the Year to come. 

On the first of a Month, roll 2d6+20 to determine the number of Days to follow. Debts and taxes are collected on the first. 

There is a 50% chance a Holiday occurs between the last and the first Day of every Month. Roll on the following table to determine the others as they occur. 

1. Ardor. Whether it is a celebration of love or lust is highly contested between the allo- romantics and sexuals. One thing is for certain, the streets will run red with festivities and blood. 
2. Theasthai. A day to honor playwrights and poets. Any Laws on public performance are lifted, though many arrests are made as aspiring artistes inevitably come to blows over turf.

5.4 Briar-sworn Outlaw
What does an outlaw know of oaths? More than a noble, whose pretty words are nothing but tools of exploitation. You are the thorn that pricks the greedy hand of hierarchy. An outcast from those you pledged your service to, they thank you all the same when you come bearing the fruits of their labor. You don't need the briars dug into your skin to remind you of the oath you swore, but it is proof of your conviction.

4.5 Bearer of Absurdity 
Everything rhymes if you listen closely. There is no reason, only will. You have unraveled reality and now you bat at it like a kitten with a ball of yarn. Some call it magic, but you are simply reshaping a world that is as soft as dough. Why anyone would remain shackled to the possible is beyond you. You've tried to tell them, but they only laugh. Or maybe they're crying, for it is a hard truth to bear.

The veil protects your sacred sight, but will you be able to complete your task before the world poisons your mind?

In a world of troubadours, you are an artiste, and it shows. The only thing more lavish than your praises are your clothes. Patrons clamor for your favor, lovers for your affection.

6.5 Ascetic Virtuoso 
What would one give for greatness? The sorcerer in their high tower, their time. The merchant in his mansion, his soul. The saint in her convent, her worldly possessions. You gave that all up, and more. More than they could ever dream. But no magic spell nor gold-filled coffer—not even divine intervention—could elicit emotion like you can. You could bring them to tears, to ecstacy, to ruin. You paid your price, now you paint with it.
