Roll a number of dice equal to your attribute+skill as indicated by

the move you are taking.

Before each session GM mixes a number of tokens into a single

bowl. The pool must consist of at least the following:

Each result of 4-6 is counted as a success. For the action to succeed

with a price, you need to score at least one successes. For the action
to succeed without a price you need to score 3 successes.

Common token = 5 times the number of players

Uncommon token = 2 times the number of players

Rare token = 1 time the number of players

READING THE OUTCOME

1 good sigil token

1 bad sigil token

Number of Successes

Outcome

Failure - The character has failed and the GM

may take a Hard Move. Gain +1exp.

1-2

Success with a Price - The character achieves

what he is trying to do, but something else
happens too. GM offers you a consequence and
if agreed upon the action succeeds.

3+

Solid success - The character performs in a solid

way. Without any drawbacks.

5+

Exceptional success - The character performs in a

way that is highly exceptional. GM should grant
in-game benefits or at least allow the player to
narrate the outcome.

(Requires Specialization)

SUCCESS WITH A PRICE

When a character succeeds in the action he is trying to take with
a price GM should keep in mind that in essence the characters has
indeed succeeded. The price can be almost anything that keeps the
story going on.

CONTESTED CHECKS
In some cases player characters may be acting against each other. In
these cases both parties should make a check that corresponds to the
situation (with the one who rolls higher success winning).
Ongoing and Forward
+N ongoing: Add Nd to all rolls for the remainder of the scene.
+N forward: Add Nd to next roll you make.

the event into a legacy or a turning point that will have an effect
on the whole game world narrative. It is not simply a success, it is
an event that will remain in the records and tales of the world to the
very end. The player using the sigil is given the role of the narrator
in the encounter. He may describes what happens but must do it in
a way that leads into a positive (good) or negative (bad) outcome.

Eldritch Sigils - From Beyond

Beings From the Beyond
The Beyond bleeding to this reality through the Veil has tainted men
for as long they have been around. They are the monsters lurking
in the shadows that our nightmares and folk lore warn us about.
They come from forsaken and shunned places: forgotten subway
tunnels, old cemeteries, abandoned houses, deep forests, hidden
crypts, locked-up lofts.
Through some eldritch rituals it is possible to call them forth, create
one, give birth to one, or even become one.
Some corrupted retain their mostly human form, some turn into
savage beasts, and some even step through the Veil and become
one with the Beyond. In all cases they have an uncontrollable,
unnatural hunger.

Creating Breachers
Breachers = beings from the Beyond, tainted humans, demons, etc.
Choose 1 or as many as you see fit.

HUNGER

...for emotions

...for human flesh and blood

...for cadavers

...for esoteric secrets

...for newborns

...for power

...for electricity

...for money

POWER

...of inhumane movement.

...of replicating any voice.

...of turning into mind shattering monstrosity.

...of regenerating through burrowing into earth.

...of haunting the place it died.

AS OPPONENTS

ELDRITCH HORRORS
When creating eldritch horrors, actual demons and most horrible
creatures of nightmares, build them as regular Breachers, but:

make them too big. Too big for their hunger, too big for their
powers, too big for mankind to deal with.

Make them bleed the Beyond, cause breaches in reality, corrupt

their surroundings.

Herald them with bloody rain, crop circles, plagues and cattle
mutilations.
