[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8485245, member: 82106"] And I 'play to see what happens', so a check will be generated, but it isn't to 'see if you can do X' or 'see if the NPC can do X', it is just to see what the outcome is, did the PC achieve their goal? So, cast in classic DW terms, 6- the king throws you out on your ear, 7+ he offers his niece's hand in marriage, 10+ you get the princess. I mean, OK, maybe the princess is deemed 'impossible', but that would have to mean it either breaks established backstory (which can only be established IN PLAY, no secret backstory) or it breaks genre/storytelling conventions in a bad way. The PC's CHA will effect this check, as would maybe some Bard move etc. but mostly the Parley move can only happen when you have something the other guy needs, wants, or is afraid of "When you have leverage on a GM character and manipulate them..." If you just cold call the king and ask for something, it isn't a specific move, its just RP. In fact the GM should almost surely respond with a move, probably soft, which is going to escalate the situation. "The king laughs and replies that any hero who can bring him the head of the Great Dragon can marry whomever they wish, even his daughter." [/QUOTE]
