== Mechanics == It's standard PbtA again, the MC is called the "Keeper", and this time the set of character stats are a little more mundane: * '''Charm:''' Charisma. Used exclusively in ''Manipulate Someone'' checks, generally a catch-all for any sort of diplomacy, be it mundane or not. * '''Cool:''' Willpower, used in ''Help Out'' or ''Act under Pressure'' checks. As the skills imply, it's to see how good you actually are at not panicking when the moment arrives to do something. * '''Sharp:''' Actual smarts, used in ''Investigate a Mystery'' or ''Read a Bad Situation'' checks. A little crossed with a traditional wisdom stat as well, but mostly just how smart your character is. * '''Tough:''' Physical prowess, used in ''Kick some Ass'' or ''Protect Someone'' checks. Fairly self explanatory. * '''Weird:''' Magic. You use this stat to ''Use Magic'' or some other equivalent, based on how you've built the rest of your character or their playbook. You will either never use this or it will be your default solution to everything. All actions are governed by the checks listed in the stats and in the Playbooks, which gives out Moves for your character to do, Special powers/skills/equipment, and usually two required moves, as well as one move of your choice to take. More than a few playbooks have an extra mechanic or two to spice things up, some no different than an extra box to check, some a little more involved. Two unique systems are Luck, which is a finite resource that is replenished only sparingly that can be used to auto-win a check or avoid damage. And you will be taking damage, you're still a mortal being, after all. And your 7-point Harm Meter only has three "alright" boxes. Maybe something in your Playbook might make you regret it later, but all in the name of a successful hunt.
