cost or introduces a risk. Document your

do something risky.

know how to solve. Make rulings to keep
the game challenging, Always go with
what makes most narrative sense. Use
things in your environment for inspiration.
THE ADVENTURE: A package arrives
containing a tiny suit and a note: “They’ll
be here any moment.” When you touch
the suit it expands to your size. When you
put it on, you become irreversibly tiny.
There’s a loud bang outside. Escape!

3 Cyber-ninjas are looking for the suit
4 The faulty suit keeps firing its powers
5 The room is filling with robotic bees

roll a six-sided die. If the roll would be
made easier by one of your character’s
powers or items, roll twice and take the
higher result.
