[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9668295, member: 86653"] GM moves are not that new or weird. It's just naming and codifying what most referees were doing anyway as a means to talk about it and therefore teach newer GMs how to run games. When the PCs do something in the fiction, that's a PC move. When the GM responds, that's a GM move. When a PC roll badly, something bad should happen. That's a soft GM move. When a PC roll really badly, something really bad should happen. That's a hard GM move. When the players pause to see what happens next, the GM should make something happen. That's a GM move. Basically, as the GM do whatever makes the most sense in the fiction in response to the PCs' actions. That's your GM moves in a nutshell. The games that use GM moves generally provide a nice big list of your more typical things, but they're not exhaustive lists nor are you as the GM bound to only doing those things. [/QUOTE]
