This person turned off replies so I’m not directly interacting with them, but I feel like it’s important to note that “Glup Shitto” is not “fucked up alien.” It’s a character who originated elsewhere who’s only here so people can recognize them. A completely new character is not a Glup Shitto.
BlueSky post

people who use "Glup Shitto" as anything less than a term of endearment make me sick. like have y'all SEEN Biddy Blas??!?? that is an EXCELLENT Glup Shitto. 10/10, no notes.Original Tumblr post from user gomjabbar:

every time a new Star Wars movie or show is announced all the fans are like “OMG Glup Shitto is back 😭😭😭”

Quick poll: left or right? I'm curious to know which immediately stands out as the more interesting move.
Search for answers

When you spend time searching for an answer, say what question drives you, where you’re looking for the answer, and what you’re afraid the answer is. If the GM agrees that it might be found there, roll Insight.

C: As a H but the GM also gives either helpful context or answers a follow-up question.

H: The GM gives you an answer, and you can trust that it's whole and complete.

G: The GM gives you a shrouded or incomplete answer. If you push them for certainty, they may treat this as a H or M.

M: You are convinced the answer is what you were afraid of… or worse. The GM says why.

Otherwise, the GM tells you what you find instead.Search for insight

When you look for clarity and direction, say how and roll Insight. On a C, choose three questions below. On a H, choose two. On a G, choose one or treat as a M (see below). The GM will answer your question(s) truthfully based on what you can perceive with your methods.

What here is evil to me?
What does my mission compel me to do next?
What here is manipulating or misleading me?
What can I use to _______?
Who or what is the biggest threat to me?
Who or what is the biggest aid to me?

On a M, ask two but one answer will be misleading, false, or incorrect. If you act on the bad information, prepare for the worst.

Even though the dispositions system wasn't super impactful and didn't necessarily lead to a bunch of different content or endings, I really appreciated how many ways Pillars of Eternity gave you to be kind. Like even without any further reactivity, it was much more satisfying to be able to choose.

2. I don't know how to tell you this, but he's gone. I can't imagine your grief.
3. You may want to sit down. Derrin won't be coming back.
4. [Lie] He's gone on to better things. A group of sailors saw him board a Vailian ship. Said he would seek a better life far from Defiance Bay.
5. He's dead. Did you really expect anything different?

Tech companies are hilarious. “Tired of timeshares? Well enjoy this revolutionary service where you buy *shares* of a property that grant you *time* on it!”
LinkedIn post:

Would you pay full price for a house you use 6 weeks a year?

Most people do. It’s just accepted as “how second homes work”: huge capital outlay, sitting empty most of the year, and someone still has to manage it

VIBLA is one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe’s real estate space right now, and the reason is simple: they broke that model

You own a real, seeded share of a fully-furnished home
You show up, you enjoy it, everything else is handled

No timeshare gimmicks
No shared-ownership horror stories
Just smarter math on an asset most people were overpaying for

This is what happens when someone finally questions an industry default nobody had touched in decades

Who’s in ?Overview

✔️ VIVLA redefines second homeownership by helping people buy, own, and sell fractions of the second home that better fits their life.
✔️ We sell unique second homes through an optimized legal and tax structure of multiple shares.
✔️ Each owner can buy one to four shares, with 6 weeks of vacation time per share.
✔️ All the advantages of owning a home with none of the pains

Not directly. And I’m still focused on small skirmishes of 3-4 folks on each side for these specific moves. If I really wanted to make more moves that apply to wide scale *battle* battles, I’d probably lean into how the Bakers did it with the now-abandoned AW hack.
Commanding the Field

When two warriors meet, both armed, they meet as equals. The particular differences between them as warriors, between their positions, and between their weapons might give one an advantage over the other, but still they meet as equals.

Some advantages are so decisive, however, that holding one gives that warrior command of the field.

Decisive advantages:
• If you’re armed and armored, and your enemy is neither, you command the field.
• If you outnumber or outsize your enemy by half again or more, you command the field.
• If you are able and armed to fight at range, but your enemy must cover the ground between you before engaging, you command the field.
• If you are mounted, and your enemy is on foot, you command the field.

War mount

This is an animal, usually a horse, outfitted for battle. It has 10 HP and 1 armor. When you take a major rest, increase the cost to care for yourself by 1 Supply.

If you are bonded with it, you can ride it into battle. When you do, you choose +1 options for clash but -1 options for volley. If it falls in battle, ask the GM how this makes you vulnerable.

I literally made it a rule in my game.
Set up bond trouble

When you do this move, take a bond and push a complication related to it. Add one or more costs related to the bond or put it in conflict with another bond the character has. For example, if a PC has been dutifully following the requests of one of their bonded characters, give them a dangerous request or one that goes against their bond with a different character. If an NPC has several positive bonds with PCs, put them in a dangerous situation requiring the PCs to act.

The goal here is not to be mean. You’re following your agenda. You’re raising the stakes by forcing a choice, and you’re playing to find out because you’re letting the player decide what happens next. This also implements the make every bond a threat principle. This is how you make those threats real.

The frequency of this move is dependent on the bonds your players make. The more bonds a player has, especially the more bonds players have with dangerous and powerful characters (or, conversely, with weak and vulnerable characters), the more you should be pushing this move. If players don’t have bonds with such characters, instead push opportunities to make some.

As part of this move, you should also be setting up cuts related to the player’s decision, either for them or the NPC. Following bonds is costly, but ignoring or going against them is potentially even more dangerous.
