You just demand to see actual rules, no matter what people are saying.OK, this seems to be your first post in the thread:I did post some examples of what I felt "having an opportunity handed to me on a silver platter looks like," and the phrase itself should be pretty obvious: the PCs do something that just begs you, as the GM, to do a particular thing in response. I will ask your forgiveness if it turns out you had not heard that particular phrase before. But assuming I have to assume you have, since you later say this:To me, the "Ah" prefix sounds very much like you're going for a gotcha. [USER=82106]@AbdulAlhazred[/USER] and [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] gave good examples but you ignored those posts and simply said "show me the rules."So I guess the issue is that we're not sure what you mean by "the rules." Do you expect every single possible instance to be bullet-pointed? Because you say:But those rules--including page numbers--have been cited several times, by me and by others.As for soft moves and hard moves, here's what Dungeon World says about it (emphasis mine):This is your next post:And it has been answered multiple times. But when I (and others) answered this, you said:andBut you've had lots of people say that no, it's not particularly reasonable, just like how in D&D or other games, you wouldn't require every single thing the PCs do to be resolved by a die roll. You can let them talk or look around. You may even decide that some things that normally do require die rolls don't, because there's no chance of failure, or having anything interesting happen on a failure. The PCs search a room, but they spend an hour doing so and nothing is really hidden, so many GMs would just waive the need for a roll and tell them what they found.So when I actually handed you a page number (page 88) and quoted a huge chunk of text, you said:Even though that had been addressed in the text I quoted. The players did something. The GM can either let them continue to do something or--in an action-oriented game like Apocalypse World--interrupt with a move like Announce Future Badness so the players stop dilly-dallying and get back on task.So please, point out exactly what about your question isn't being answered.</blockquote>
