When you chaps use a new custom move for a shrine or a location or some such, do you read the full details of the move (including every possible outcome) before asking the player what they do?

I do, but sometimes don’t share the move until after they have committed to rolling it

Yes. “Say the possible consequences and ask.”

Thanks chaps. I guess it’s important to keep these moves short and snappy when writing them, then.

It helps. I’d also advise leaving the 6- result open, unless you have something specific in mind. Here’s one I made recently:
When you venture into the Grow to find something (medicinals, old world loot, someone missing, a way through), roll +Sharp.
On a 10+, pick three, on a 7-9, pick two.
You find what you are after
You find it quickly
The Grow does not touch you
That’s it. As MC I don’t have to do anything on a miss because the move doesn’t say I have to. I could say you emerge days later with no luck and coughing up spores, or I could say you’ve used up all your petrol, or you’ve lost your backpack, or you miss something crucial while you’re out.

Thanks for asking this Jools, I’ve been wondering this too.
