Detachable Body Parts

from The Hard Move · host Matthew Gravelyn

Eric Lee and I break down the move Detachable Body Parts from the Constructed playbook in Monster of the Week. We talk about how deceptively simple the mechanics of this move are but how out of hand (or arm, or leg) this can get narratively. We also talk about how a GM can lean into the seemingly limitless power of this move to still create a tense and engaging story.  You can follow Eric on Twitter at twitter.com/EricLeeeeeee and find out more about Table Tales on Twitter at twitter.com/OurTableTales  Content featured in this episode is from the game Monster of the Week by Michael Sands. The Constructed Playbook was created by Reid San Filippo. You can find out more about this game at evilhat.com  Music is by Nick Gravelyn.
