RESONANT CARD: The Wheel of Fortune

DISSONANT CARD: Justice

LVL: 1

When you play your resonant card, apply the following Forecast: “You raise your baton to strike up the band.” Issue one command: everything currently in your zone of influence must follow it, until the assigned task is complete or the scene ends.

When you play your dissonant card, apply the following Forecast: “Life is a stage, and you’ve forgotten all your lines.” For as long as your dissonant card is in the discard pile, any time you Dazzle someone, do not draw; instead, the GM will act as though you played The Moon.


[X] Good Vibrations: Anyone who has a Tie to you is immune to the effects of your Eidolon if they choose to be and you want them to be.

[X] Static Shock: When you Scrap, if you pair your assault with an insult that hurts worse than the attack, you may draw GLAM instead of POW.

[X] Bermuda Triangle: When you Face Death, your Eidolon immediately begins warping reality if it wasn’t already, and continues to do so until you wake up or come back to life. If you choose to embrace death, you may declare one location; your Eidolon moves to this location and never moves again, continuing to warp reality in perpetuity.


[] Take on Me: When you successfully Dazzle someone, your Eidolon will warp reality around them in the same way it does around you. This effect remains for the rest of the scene.

[X] Faulty Meter: When you successfully Dazzle someone, then until the end of the scene, they will not think anything is amiss when your Eidolon warps reality.

[] Give Peace a Chance: Take the Four Thirty-Three Move from the Virtuoso Playbook, but you activate it by turning off your Eidolon’s power instead of throwing your Eidolon away.
During combat, throw away your Eidolon and make a call to negotiate with your enemies. Draw GLAM, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.
If you play a positive card, all Eidolons involved in the conflict
become severed until you pick up your Eidolon again.
If you play a neutral card, no Eidolons become severed, but the enemy will stop attacking long enough to hear you out.
If you play a negative card, nothing happens, except that you’ve thrown away your Eidolon.
You may only use this Move once per session.

[] Lightning Rod (Requires Take on Me): Declare the name of one person who has at some point been under the influence of your Eidolon. You may draw GLAM to have your Eidolon warp reality around them instead of you, regardless of where they are. You may draw BIZ to have your Eidolon resume warping reality around you.

[] Vibe Check: When Dredging the Undertow to acquire information about the relationship between two or more people, you may draw GLAM instead of BIZ.

[] Faraday Cage: When in the Undertow, you may draw BIZ to turn your Eidolon’s zone of influence into a space in which reality is stable and reflects the real world, instead of a space in which reality is warped.

[] Reflecting Pool (Requires Faraday Cage): When in the real world, you may draw BIZ to turn your Eidolon’s zone of influence into a space that reflects the corresponding area in the Undertow.

[] Under My Umbrella: You may draw POW to transform the border of your zone of influence into a solid barrier. On a positive card, choose 2 of the following. On a neutral card, choose one:
The barrier is sturdy, and impervious to nearly all attacks.
The barrier is transparent.
Your allies can move back and forth through the barrier freely.
You may dismiss the barrier at will.

[] Sealed Room: Once per session, you can designate one person inside of your Eidolon’s zone of influence. They may not leave the area, and you cannot turn off your Eidolon’s power until you both give the other something they want.

[] Devil Pact (Requires Sealed Room): When you take this Move, describe a “Devil,” a Shade that dwells in the Undertow. Once per session, you may draw BIZ to summon it into your Eidolon’s zone of influence. They may not leave the area, and you cannot turn off your Eidolon’s power until you both agree upon a contract with each other.

[] Superconductor: Once per session, you may choose one character that has a Tie to you and that you have a Tie to. Then, each of you temporarily rewrites your Eidolon Power to something that evokes the Power of the other. Your Eidolon Power reverts to normal at the beginning of the next scene.

[] Power Cycle: Once per session, you may shuffle the discard pile into the Fate Deck, then discard the same number of cards from the top of the deck (this ticks the Phantom Clock if it is at 6 PM or higher).


[] Limelight: The range of your Eidolon’s reality-warping ability changes from 15 Feet to the distance of the furthest person in your line of sight that’s actively paying attention to you.

[] Give Violence a Chance (Requires Give Peace a Chance): Once per Uptime, when using Give Peace a Chance, your Eidolon Power does not switch off, leaving you as the only person in the scene with access to your Eidolon Power.

[] Faustian Super Shopper (Requires Devil Pact): Every third time you summon your Devil, you may draw BIZ to have them act at your behest without requiring anything in return.

DISSONANT CARD: The Chariot

LVL: 1

HOLD: ...

When you play your resonant card, apply the following Forecast: “The world is your instrument, and it’s time for your solo.” Describe how your Eidolon transforms into a larger, more powerful version of itself and Hold 2. You can spend this Hold to draw 1 additional card when using your Eidolon to make a Move.

When you play your dissonant card, apply the following Forecast: “You’re thinking too literally, and miss something that’s immaterial but crucial.” Your Eidolon becomes severed until you find a way to spiritually reconnect to it.


[X] Recall: When you do not have possession of your Eidolon, you can draw ELE to call out to it and make it return to you.

[X] Everything a Nail: When you try to overcome an obstacle by applying the skill you’ve mastered, draw ELE, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play:
On a positive card, your skill maps to this situation perfectly.
On a neutral card, describe a complication that prevents your skill from fully translating to this situation. Take -1 Forward. The GM will describe how the complication hinders your success.
On a negative card: your skill doesn’t map to this situation at all. You fall flat on your face.

[X] Heirloom: Your Eidolon’s concrete form means that it can outlive you. When you die, name the person you choose to inherit it. They become the Eidolon’s new master, and once per session they can use any one Move from your character sheet.

[] Cover Version: You can draw BIZ to will your Eidolon to change into any object of comparable size.

[] Mashup: Once per Uptime, you may choose someone you have a Tie to; change the third blank of your Eidolon Power to something that reflects their own. Change your Eidolon Power back to normal at the beginning of the next session.

[] Encore: Once per session, when you use Everything a Nail and draw no Positive cards, you can describe what you’ve done to train yourself specifically to apply your mastered skill to this situation, and Push Yourself without ticking the Phantom Clock.

[] Legendary Treasure: When you take this Move, you and the GM will describe a powerful magical artifact which has the same form as your Eidolon.

This artifact exists deep in the Undertow, where no human could ever find it. Once per Uptime, you may ask the GM one of the following questions about it:

• How was it made?
• Who owns it now?
• What effect does it currently have on the real world?
• What does it empower its wielder to do?

[] Featured Artist: Once per Uptime, when you use your Eidolon to provide material aid to another player making a Move, they may choose to forego drawing and instead apply the following Forecast with a positive Polarity: “The world is your instrument, and it’s time for a duet.”

[X] One-Man Band: Take one of the following Moves:


[] Four Thirty-Three: During combat, throw away your Eidolon and make a call to negotiate with your enemies. Draw GLAM, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.
If you play a positive card, all Eidolons involved in the conflict become severed until you pick up your Eidolon again.
If you play a neutral card, no Eidolons become severed, but the enemy will stop attacking long enough to hear you out.
If you play a negative card, nothing happens, except that you’ve thrown away your Eidolon.
You may only use this Move once per session.

[] Quick-Draw: Permanently take +1 Ongoing when using your Eidolon to Scrap or Snipe someone who doesn’t believe that you can or will attack them.

[] Read the Stars: Once per session, when you make a Move, you may choose to return all unplayed cards in your spread to the top of the Fate Deck, instead of sending them to the bottom.

[X] Expert Investigation: When Investigating, add “what does my Area of Expertise tell me about the situation?” to the list of questions you can ask.

[] Signal Repeater: You can move your scanning ability to center on anyone or anything you have a Tie with, allowing you to sense the area around them instead of the area around your Eidolon. Your scanning ability will stay with them until you call it back to yourself.

[] Tagging Shot (requires Signal Repeater): When your Eidolon has wounded someone or something, then until that wound is healed you can use Signal Repeater to move your scanning ability onto them, regardless of whether you have a Tie with them.

[] Undertow Astrolabe: Your Eidolon Power works both within your immediate surroundings and within the equivalent space in the Undertow, or if you’re in the Undertow, within the equivalent space in the real world.

[] Come Sail Away (requires Undertow Astrolabe): You can draw BIZ to attempt to pull something you sense in one world into the world you currently inhabit.

[]Soul Spyglass: When you play a positive or neutral card to Dredge the Undertow, you can ask any one question about one of the characters in your immediate vicinity.

If you play a neutral card, they also get to ask you a question about your character, and you must answer truthfully.

[]Threat Detection: Take the Fight or Flight Move from the Beast Playbook; At any time, you may ask the GM if you are currently in danger. The GM will always answer honestly, but will not provide any details about the source of the danger.

[] Eureka: Just before an enemy advances your Damage Track to “Defeated,” you have a flash of inspiration about how to beat them. State a critical weakness the enemy has; whatever you say is now true, and always has been. Draw GEN, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.
-On a positive card, you have a brief instant to exploit this weakness before you’re defeated.
-On a neutral card, you have a brief instant to either shout out the weakness, alerting the enemy that you’ve discovered it, or else leave behind a clue that will reveal the weakness if your allies interpret it correctly.
-On a negative card, draw one less card when Facing Death (to a minimum of 1); if you die, the enemy’s weakness dies with you.

[]Perfect Deduction: When you play a positive card when Investigating, answer the first question you ask yourself, rather than having the GM answer it; whatever you state as the answer to your question is true. You can only use this Move once per session, even if you draw more than one positive card during a single Investigation.

[] Rampage: Once per session, when you play a negative or neutral card while Scrapping, you may discard the top 5 cards of the Fate Deck instead of just the top card.

[] Nothing But a Hound Dog: If someone begins to suspect that you’re not an ordinary animal, you can try to act like one to throw them off your trail. Draw GLAM, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.

- On a neutral card, they’ll buy into your act, but also decide that
you’re being a nuisance, and try to remove you from the area.
- On a negative card, they’ll believe you’re a normal animal, but will
react violently to your presence.

[] Freebird (Requires Ferocious or Tenacious Animal Quality): You can force yourself out of any restraint, advancing your Damage Track by 1 to break out of it instantly. If you have an Instinctive Desire for Freedom, this counts as satisfying it.

[] Fight or Flight: At any time, you may ask the GM if you are currently in danger. The GM will always answer honestly, but will not provide any details about the source of the danger.


[] Let the Dogs Out: During combat, you can cry out for any creatures in the area to support you. Draw GLAM, taking +1 Forward if you’ve satisfied an Instinctive Desire for Dominion in the area, but ignore the Forecast of the card you play.
- On a positive card, larger, more dangerous animals will answer your call.
- On a neutral card, only smaller and weaker animals will respond.
- On a negative card, every animal that hears your call will come, but will not actively fight alongside you.

[] Role Reversal: You may draw BIZ to suppress the higher intellect of a human target within range of your Eidolon for the remainder of the scene. If successful, their animal instincts take over, and they must choose an Instinctive Desire that they will exclusively pursue until the effect wears off.

[] Evolution (requires Apex): The energy constantly flowing through you from the Undertow has caused your body to mutate. Take an Animal Quality that didn’t used to describe you, but does now.
