When you befriend a monkey, you may take this move when you level up:

Monkey Friends are the Best Friends

You and your monkey have a special bond.  You can’t talk to it per se, but it will always act as you wish it to.  It can serve as a distraction or an extra set of hands, giving you +1 on slight of hand attempts.

Once you’ve taken the Monkey Friends are the Best Friends move, you may take the following moves whenever you level up as if they were class moves:

Oooh, Shinies!

When you let your monkey roam for a while in a civilized area, roll +DEX.  On a 10+ he returns with an interesting or valuable item.  On a 7-9, the item is also dangerous or draws unwelcome attention to you.

Alarm Call

Your monkey is always looking out for you.  It will scream at the first sign of danger, ensuring that you are never surprised.  When an enemy would get the drop on you, you get to act first instead.

Dial M for Monkey

Your monkey is exceptionally smart.  It can follow complex orders and understand speech, though you are the only one who can understand what it says.  If you consult your monkey while attempting to discern reality, take +1.

Per Sage LaTorra, here’s a link to my shop’s eBay store, where I have pretty good stock on DW still available! Special offer to Tavern peeps only: Mention the Tavern in your note to us when you buy and we’ll drop in a copy of Eon Fontes-May’s DW Guide for absolutely free (while supplies last)!

If you’re buying for a group, we’ll only charge you shipping the once, so pile ’em on, or add another Indie RPG or two you’ve had trouble finding in your neighborhood.

Thanks, Sage, and apologies to anyone feeling spammed, this will be the only note about this!

So, I’d like to get the Story Game Sunday calendar filled out for the rest of the summer.

So, I’d like to get the Story Game Sunday calendar filled out for the rest of the summer. If someone is interested in running a game, these dates are open: 07.14, 07.28, 08.11, 08.25, and 09.08. If you have a game that is better in multiple sessions (such as Polaris or Dogs in the Vineyard), I am open to giving you more than one slot.
