00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.500
How to Play. A fiction-first tabletop RPG: the entire core loop, in one roll of six-sided dice.

00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:11.500
Step 01 - Describe your character. Split 8 dice across four Approaches: Force, Finesse, Mind, and Presence.

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:16.000
Step 02 - Set the stakes. Trying something risky? The Storyteller sets your Position and Effect.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Position (the danger): Controlled, Risky, or Desperate. Effect (the payoff): Limited, Standard, or Great.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.500
Step 03 - Build the pool. Gather your d6. Finesse 3d6 plus 1 Momentum equals 4d6.

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:35.500
Step 04 - Roll and read the single highest die. No adding up. No modifiers. The top face alone decides the outcome.

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:40.000
Step 05 - Resolve. Three ways it lands.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.500
6: Full Success. You do it. Roll two or more 6s and you get Great Effect.

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:46.500
4-5: Partial Success. You do it, but at a cost, complication, or reduced effect.

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:49.500
1-3: Failure. It goes wrong and a consequence hits, but the story pushes on.

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.000
Push your luck: spend Momentum. 1 Momentum adds +1d6 to your pool - more dice means more chances to land a 6.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.000
