1 Take stock
What does the move reflect or model?
What constraints do you have?
What are your goals?
Do you really need this move?
Do you need multiple triggers? A move might need multiple triggers, each with its own result(s), if…
Do the triggers need limits?
3 Brainstorm results
Definitely
Maybe (good!)
Maybe (bad!)
4 Decide how you'll pick between results
Have the player roll
Have the player pick
Have the target pick
Have the GM pick
Decide by procedure
Decide by consensus
Mix and match
Do something else
5 If there's a roll, decide how it works
Should you define a 6- result?
Are there any other modifiers?
What does each tier look like?
