MMP#498 – Clocks and Fronts

• Countdown Clock – An in-game timer that is tracking time passing towards some event, often represented by a circle with some number of ticks or wedges. Players may be aware of this clock or not. 
• Fronts (from Apocalypse World) – A front is a set of linked threats. Threats are people, places, and conditions that, because of where they are and what they’re doing, inevitably threaten the players’ characters — so a front is all of the individual threats that arise from a single given threatening situation.

Today we talk about Clocks and Fronts on our lead up to episode 500. It’s another of our favorite episodes of all time redone for you with six more years of gaming and knowledge at our disposal.
