💡 Best Practices

🎬
Make it Cinematic

Describe complications vividly. Let players narrate successes and failures. Hull groans, alarms blare, sparks fly.

💡
Encourage Creativity

Accept creative skill applications with adjusted DCs. Reward narrative flourish with inspiration or DC reduction.

⚠️
Fail Forward

Failures create consequences, not game-overs. 3 failures = changed situation, not reset. Combat is a consequence, not a punishment.
