playing as the tinker
Sense The Tinker is a brilliant inventor with a powerful vehicle or suit
of armor of their own creation. Their people are heavily technology
focused, but even among them the Tinker is a standout genius. The

Wisdom Tinker may not be particularly big or strong, but they make up for it
by building their own size and strength, far disproportionate to
their stature.

BASIC PLAYBOOK
Iron love technology and science, if you want to play a weakling reliant
on their skills and intellect for power, or if you just want to have a
big cool giant robot.
 tinker's core
The Tinker has the following Moves.
iron shell
Your people may be small and weak, but their battle suits
are not. You have a sixth stat, Iron, and you have an
additional -1 to assign between your other stats. Iron
represents the strength of your inventions, including your
Battle Suit and anything you Jury Rig together.
When you Finish Them by outlasting them in a
contest of power or endurance, roll +Iron. On a 10+,
they pass out.
When you Share this Move with another, their Iron
stat is +1. When someone who does not have an Iron
stat uses a Move that rolls +Iron, they roll at +0.
Your Iron stat can only be healed by items with the
Repair or Fuel tags, instead of Healing or Food. When you
Fill Your Belly, you may spend 1 Fuel to heal your Iron stat,
either instead of or in addition to spending Food.
battle suit
You have a battle suit, unique to you, which is a machine
bigger than you that multiplies your strength and power
while you ride it. Many of your people use technology to
empower themselves, but none are quite like yours. Describe
or draw your battle suit for us.
When operating your Battle Suit, you roll with +Iron
to Get Away, Keep Them Busy, and Overcome.
Only you can operate your Battle Suit smoothly. In the
hands of anyone else, it is Clumsy, Slow, and Dangerous.
Your suit's abilities are listed in your Gear. When you
have time and safety, you can spend 1 Fuel to change one
Gear option for another option from the same list.
This Move, and the Gear associated with it, cannot
be Shared, except through the Tinker's Advance option.
jury rig (iron)
When you fabricate a new device out of existing
materials, tell us what you want it to do, spend 1 Use of
something, and roll +Iron.
On a 7+, it works! It does what you wanted it to do,
more or less.
On a 9-, it has some problems. Choose one:
• Unstable: It will fall apart quickly. The device has only 1
Use, and it breaks at the end of this scene.
• Defective: The device has a weird quirk or limitation
that requires you to use it only under specific circumstances.
The Horizon will describe these circumstances to you.

If you are the Cyborg, you can damage one of your suit's stats instead of
your Iron stat to use this move.
You cannot use The Big Red Button while your Iron is damaged.
 Hey! Don't touch that! I know it looks cool, but you can't touch
