Create and play out a scene as you


want, no rolls needed. You may use
the tables above for guidance.

When you want to resolve the


scene, Spend 1 Gambit and choose
an outcome below, or roll a d6
for a random outcome:

1. Disastrous consequences
(+2 Chaos & +1 Gambit)
2. Severe setbacks
(+1 Chaos)
3. Slight complication
(+1 Chaos & +1 Insight)
4. Accurate performance
(+1 Gambit)
5. Exceptional accomplishment
(+1 Insight)
6. Impecable execution
(+2 Insight & +1 Gambit)

You start with 0 Gambit, Chaos


and Insight. At any moment, you
can trade 3 Chaos or 3 Insight
for 1 Gambit if you add a Twist.
finish your mission

Failure
If you reach 10 Chaos, brace
yourself for a bitter ending. The
mission derails and ends in
disaster, the unwelcome outcome
unfolds, and you're cast into
oblivion, branded as an outcast
or cloaked in disgrace.

Unclear
If you reach 10 Insight but
maintain Chaos below 7, consider
this a dubious victory. The path
was too smooth. Something's
amiss. You need to reassess your
assumptions, and prepare to
embark on a new mission.

Success
victory is yours when you reach
10 Insight and Chaos is 7, 8 or 9.
The struggle you faced serves as
evidence of your triumph. You've
conquered the challenge set before
you and successfully completed
your mission.
