[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9002963, member: 42582"] In my view, the AW rules are clearer here than the DW ones. But focusing on the DW text: as well as "when they come into the spotlight" (p 164) there is this on p 166: [indent]If your first instinct is that this won’t hurt them now, but it’ll come back to bite them later, great! That’s part of your principles (think offscreen too). Make a note of and reveal it when the time is right.[/indent] And this on p 200: [indent]Always remember, fronts continue along apace no matter whether the characters are there to see them or not. Think offscreen, especially where fronts are concerned.[/indent] "Revealing it when the time is right" or "when [its effects] come into the spotlight" means [I]using the notes made about something offscreen as a prompt or cue for a subsequent move[/I]. Just as one does with "fronts". It doesn't change the rules about when the GM gets to make a move. It isn't saying to create the cause elsewhere... it's saying make your move somewhere else and show it's effects when they come into the spotlight. To me that's a different beast entirely to what you are claiming. [/QUOTE]
