That was always a bad omen. Next to him, Senka clutched the crowbar, her knuckles white, but he could see in her eyes that she didn’t believe for a second that it would be of any use. He remembered the whiny voice of the killer from earlier, standing on his knees behind the barn, going on about how the scary ones had to be put down while they were still weak, how they hid their power. Sick bastard. But while Senka's ritual with the photos and toys had made the apparitions of the children disappear, it was obvious they were both still very much trapped in the EchoAnd then all the colors were drained from the world…"You’re one of the Quick. It means that somehow your life ended up tangled with the Dead, the Echoes and the rest of the weirdness that surrounds them. And not only that, but against all rational impulse to run or hide, you’ve decided to continue dealing with them, protecting our reality by closing the Echoes you encounter. Some of the Quick call this the Great Work, but in reality, it’s much like trying to fight the rising tide with sandbags.The Quick is really just a term you use for other people like you. There’s no membership card or a secret handshake – if you work with Echoes, you’re one of the Quick. You often do this with other Quick as there is safety in numbers and the cases often require a variety of talents. And to be honest, it’s also a lot easier to hang around with other people who understand what you’ve gone through And you do what you can to help your fellow Quick when they need help – a spare bed for someone passing through, go buy a 20kg bag of salt and deliver it to the harbor, or come assist in a surgery of a grown man even if you’re only a veterinarian. You help each other the best you can.You are one of the Quick, the counterbalance to the Dead.The rules of the game are simple. At the core they are “Play along or make a Move.”PLAY ALONG: Gameplay is a conversation about what the characters (played by their players) say, & do in the game fiction, and how the world (played by the GM) or other characters (played by their players) react to what was said or done. Your character opens the door to the kitchen, and the kitchen door indeed opens. Your character says an insult to another player’s character, and that player tells you how their character reacts to that.You are building a story together, and it is important that you stay on the same page with what’s happening. So when having the conversation that is the game, you sometimes need clarifications.The exception to this practice is when something in the game triggers a Move. Together the two form the core principle of playing The Quick: Play along or make a Move.MAKE A MOVE: Moves are small rules – triggered by set actions in the game fiction, for example a character investigating on object, opening a door, taking a photo etc. They intend to steer the game towards genre and Scenario goals.The Move’s trigger tells you when you make that Move. You can’t make the Move if the trigger condition isn’t met, and you always should make the Move if it is. For example, if you have a Move that triggers when a character investigates a crime scene, your character has to investigate the crime scene for you to play the Move. And vice versa, if your character is investigating a scene, the Move triggers and you follow the rules for the Move.Comes as a Physical book and a PDF version.For international shipping please contact us.Find more games at - https://www.sidekickgames.co.uk
