As I already posted upthread,If the AW GM wants a new move to capture some particular aspect of the fiction, then they create it. The rulebook has a variety of worked examples. Here's a bit of it, from p 269:Custom threat moves linked to particular threats are naturally the most focused yet: If you’re in a fist fight with Rolfball and you take harm, you take s-harm (ap) in addition to the usual harm. s-harm means stun harm, recall. The effect is: if you just stagger around in a concussed daze, cool; if you do anything else you’re acting under fire. Or: If Grome gets his hands on you, he ties you to a table and you know he’s really <very> good at that. If you try to escape, roll+hard. On a hit, you can escape, but at a cost. On a 10+, choose 1; on a 7–9, choose 2: • it takes you over an hour and leaves you exhausted. Take s-harm (ap). • you suffer for it; your arms and legs are torn bloody before you’re done. Take 1-harm (ap). • ultimately you need to bribe Ipe, Grome’s sister, to help you. It costs you 1-barter. • Custom threat moves can be general or specific, broad or focused. List general ones in the home front. • Custom moves can be legal but nevertheless not fun in play. Ditch them if they aren’t contributing.These two examples are somewhat analogous to how a D&D GM might write up a NPC, or map and key a particularly interesting room.</blockquote>
