When you are engulfed by a slime, ooze, or pudding, and
NOTES
some of it stays with you, the next time you level up you
may choose this move:
AMBEOID OVERLORD
A piece of the thing that engulfed you is now yours to
command. Treat it as your character: you say what it does
and it triggers basic moves as a character would. Slime,
ooze, or pudding characters have +1 STR, +0 DEX, +2 Con,
and no Int, Wis, or CHA (they cannot make moves with
those stats). They have d4 damage and 4 HP but if they
reach 0 HP they splatter and become inert instead of dying
—scoop it together again and it’ll be fine. They do not gain
XP.
If you have ambeoid overlord these count as class
moves for you; you can choose from them when you
level up:
SCUZZY METAMORPHOSIS
You can turn yourself into an ooze. While in ooze form you
can squeeze and slide like an ooze (fitting through any
space a mouse could) and you gain +1 armor, but you take
-1 ongoing to Int, Wis, and Cha.
SLIME RECRUITER
You can keep a piece of any slime, ooze, or pudding you
defeat and use it as your minion. It becomes your
character, as described in ambeoid overlord. You can
command at most 2+Cha slime minions. If your Cha
changes such that you can’t control some of your minions
you choose which to lose control of—they act as slimes
would, though you may still be able to convince them to
do as you say.
SLIME SHAPER
When you spend time in communion with your slime
minions you may adapt their stats. For each slime minion,
choose one of Str, Dex, or Con to be +2, the others are +1.
Your slime minions never have Int, Wis, or Cha scores.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
You can create slime copies of yourself. Each copy reduces
your Int, Wis, and Cha by -1. Your copies are your
characters: you get to say what they do and they use your
stats, but they cannot use any moves based on Int, Wis, or
Cha. You can only create more copies so long as one of
your Int, Wis, or Cha is +1 or greater.

less than or equal to your Blood you must give in to
dragon nature: greed, wrath, or disdain. When you drink

greed, wrath, or disdain.
WYRM-TONGUE
You speak the language of dragons. Any creature of this
world will understand what you say, and you can
understand them.
TIRELESS BLOOD
The sick debility no longer applies to you. If something
would cause you to become sick you get the debility, but it
gives you no penalty.
FURY
When you call on your dragon blood for strength your next
attack also becomes messy, forceful, and +1 piercing.

BINDING FIELD
You can bind any two objects you can see, not just those

FARADAY’S LAW
Magnetism pulses from your flesh stirring loose the charge
that lives in all metal. When you stir the charge within a
weapon you hold it does +1d4 damage ongoing. Until you
dismiss this effect you take -1 to bind.
REPEL
When you bind two objects you can choose to have them
repel each other instead of attracting each other. The force
is the same.
DUE NORTH
You always know where you are with respect to the
northernmost point of the world.
SUBTLE SENSE
When you discern realities you can also choose to ask
“what nearby is metal?”
VELOCITAS ERADICO

FROM THE FORBIDDEN LAND RETURNED
You bear a mark of your time in the wraith lands. Choose a
part of your body that takes on the visible aspects of death
while remaining fully functional:
Eye: When you touch a corpse you see what it saw in
its last moments. The GM will describe it.
Tongue: You may lace any spell, prayer, or oath with
a link to the forbidden land. Its effects on the dying
or dead will be amplified, as described by the GM.
Arm: Any weapon you grasp flows into the other
world. It gains +2 piercing against living creatures.
Legs: Your passing leaves no mark or scent as a living
person would.
Dead spirits see your mark and know you as their own. Any
dead spirit that still clings to the mortal plane will speak
with you, sharing openly. The living, especially the devout,
see your mark as a sign of sin. You take -1 ongoing to Cha

If you are from the forbidden land returned, these

them when you level up:

all who knew that spirit in life.
INDELIBLE
The mark of the wraith lands grows such that it may not
be concealed, describe it. The dead will seek you out,
giving you what aid they can. The undead will not harm
you. The devout will treat you as a heretic.

immediately resolve a bond you have with them, marking

 CLASS WARFARE COMPENDIUM CLASS
Once you find out your ancestry includes people you think
are monsters, this compendium class becomes available.
Take two moves:
ANCESTRAL HERITAGE
You have a mixed heritage. Decide on your species,
ethnicity, and cultural heritage, choosing anything or any
combination of things that sounds interesting to you. Then
choose up to three heritage moves to start with, from the
monster moves that best match your heritage. How do you
honour your people and invoke your rights of blood and
tradition? Choose one:
Building things for your people.
Charity.
Enforcing your peoples’ code of honour.
Fighting for your people.
Obeying your elders.
Sacrifice.
BLOOD AND TRADITION
At the beginning of a session, or when you invoke your
rights of blood and tradition, roll+WIS. On a 10+, hold 3.
On a 7-9, hold 2. On a miss, you still hold 1. Spend a hold
to make a heritage move, just like that.
Once you have gained “Ancestral Heritage” and “Blood
and Tradition”, these count as class moves for you; you
can choose from them when you level up:
HONOURING TRADITION
When you gain a new appreciation for your heritage, add a
new heritage move or change an existing one.
INTERPRETING TRADITION
Choose a second way you can honour your people.

When you encounter an interesting artifact, construction,

questions. On a 10+, ask three. On a 7-9, ask two:
How could I make this thing do ________?
How is it weak or vulnerable?
What’s happened to it recently?
What’s it for?
What’s it made of?
Who made it?
On a miss, it is something beyond your knowledge and

this compendium class becomes available.
INVENTORY

but somebody owes you some. On a miss, you had it, but
somebody stole it or broke it, or stole it and broke it, the
scumbag.

the line. On a 7-9, you can get it, or something close, but it
will come with strings attached. On a miss, you have it,
alright, and a world of problems along with it!
CLASS WARFARE COMPENDIUM CLASS
Once you have visited seven different lands, and in each
land visited seven different settlements, this compendium
class becomes available. Start with one of these two:
A PORT IN THE STORM
When you return to a civilized settlement you’ve visited
before, tell the GM when you were last here. They’ll tell you
how it’s changed since then. Additionally, at your option,
name a person you met here or something you left behind.
WIDE-WANDERER
When you gain a level from 6-10, you may also choose
from these moves:
AROUND THE WORLD
You now have both A Port in the Storm and Wide-
Wanderer. When you return to a civilized settlement you’ve
visited before, you may name both someone you met and
something you left behind.
REPUTATION
When you first meet someone who’s heard songs about

level up:
BUSTLING STOREFRONT
When you have time to advertise your services and tend
your storefront, the GM will tell you who has come to
spend money at your store. Other players may tell you that
their characters have been customers as well. Say which
ones you gave special treatment and roll+CHA. On a 10+,
they were all satisfied. On a 7-9, one of them wasn’t happy
but the rest were. On a miss, none of them are happy.
HIRED HELP
When you recruit from your shop, you attract twice as
many prospective recruits.
IDLE GOSSIP
When you ask your staff or regulars about someone
important (your call), roll+CHA. On a 10+, you can ask the
GM three questions from the list below. On a 7-9, only two:
How could I get to them, physically or financially?
What’s their deal and how’s it working out?
When should I expect to see them next?
Who do they associate with?
Who or what do they cherish most?
On a miss, ask one anyway, but your questions stir up
trouble.
HIGH CLASS
Your shop deals in higher-end, more expensive goods. At
the beginning of a session, or when there’s downtime,
roll+CHA. On a 10+, both. On a 7-9, choose one:
You gain a useful contact from amongst your
customers.
You make 1d6×100 coins in profit.
MAKE THIS GO AWAY
When you give something to one of your underlings and
tell them to get rid of it, roll+CHA. On a 10+, it’s gone and
only the two of you know it was ever there to begin with.
On a 7-9, it’s common knowledge in and around the shop,
but no further. On a miss, the thing pops up again at the
worst possible time.

HOBO SIGNS NOTES
When you discern realities in the wilderness or when you
enter a settlement for the first time, also ask one of these
questions:
How could I be accepted by the people here?
How could I best attract attention here?
How could I gain access to what is secret here?
What here is a source of evil?
Where could I best hide around here?
If you discern realities about a location, you may ask one of
these questions instead of one from the normal list.
LOCAL CONTACTS
When you arrive at a new settlement, roll+CHA. On a hit,
you know someone here who can help you. They count as
a hireling with points according to the settlement size and
will accept friendship as payment. Additionally, on a 10+,
they will rescue you from danger once while you are here.
On a miss, instead you bring your enemies with you and
find no friends here.

SECRET PATHS AND WAYS

You know places in the wilderness where secret paths lie
unseen. When you travel by a way that is beyond the
mortal world, roll+WIS. On a 10+, it leads where you want
it to. On a 7-9, you or the GM must choose a difficulty:
Others find the way who did not know it before.
The journey takes much longer than it seemed to.
The way is long and hard. Each person who takes it
must consume a ration or gain the debility Weak.
You encounter some danger upon the road.
