    This document provides guidance for Keepers on creating fronts in Apocalypse World. A front consists of linked threats that inevitably threaten the player characters due to their location and actions. To create a front, the Keeper chooses a fundamental failing, creates 3-4 threats, writes the front's agenda and dark future, lists stake questions and cast, and establishes overall countdowns. The document also lists example threats, landscapes, afflictions, conspiracies, cults, and inhumans that could pose threats within a front.

    OVERALL COUNTDOWNS FRONTS

    Fronts are the Keeper’s prep for play.

    A front is a set of linked threats. Threats are people, places, creatures and
    conditions that, because of where they are and what they’re doing, ineviatably
    theaten the players’ characters - so a front is all of the individual threats that
    arise from a single given threatening situation.
