Three Genre Recipes
These are conversion maps, not finished games. Each one shows how little of StoryRig needs to change before the mechanics start speaking a different genre.
Gothic vampire romance
Ratings: Grace, Nerve, Insight, Presence
Resource: Hunger 0–5
Signature Moves: Feed; Hide the Hunger; Ask for a Dangerous Favor
Conditions: Blood-Starved, Indebted, Exposed
Consequences: social exposure, debt, lost access, broken cover, dangerous obligation
Growth: Milestones tied to choices that permanently change loyalties, boundaries, or supernatural commitments
Keep Threats for outside pressures such as hunters, a rival court, or a coming dawn. Do not turn attraction, consent, or a player's feelings into numeric state the GM controls.
Cyberpunk heist
Ratings: Force, Finesse, Insight, Nerve
Resource: Trace or Heat
Signature Moves: Breach a System; Burn a Contact; Ghost the Exit
Conditions: Compromised, Burned, Wounded
Threats: corporate response, security lockdown, extraction deadline
Progress Tracks: crack the vault; map the network; prepare the getaway
Equipment can carry most of the genre texture. A credential, implant, drone, or exploit should change access, Position, or Effect through its actual capability rather than a pile of generic bonuses.
Academy mystery
Ratings: Nerve, Finesse, Insight, Presence
Resource: Strain
Signature Moves: Push Unfamiliar Magic; Research Under Pressure; Cover for Someone
Conditions: Overextended, Marked, Exposed
Threats: a failing ward, faculty scrutiny, an approaching practical exam
Progress Tracks: decode a phenomenon; repair a ritual space; prove a theory
Use ordinary school life as ordinary school life. Rolls enter when uncertainty has stakes; research does not need to become a chain of micro-checks simply because the World contains mysteries.
The pattern
Across all three Worlds, the 2d6 engine, Position/Effect, Character structure, state ownership, and AI-GM discipline stay intact. The creator changes the vocabulary and the recurring procedures players will actually feel.
