ROLLING THE DICE

When you do something risky, roll 1d6 to find out how it goes. Roll +1d if you’re prepared and +1d if you’re an expert. (The GM tells you how many dice to roll, based on your character and the situation.) Roll your dice and compare each die result to your number.If you’re using GUN (science, reason), you want to roll under your number.If you’re using AURA, (rapport, passion) you want to roll over your number.

• 0 If none of your dice succeed, it goes wrong. The GM says how things get worse somehow.
• 1 If one die succeeds, you barely manage it. The GM inflicts a complication, harm, or cost.
• 2 If two dice succeed, you do it well. Good job!
• 3 If three dice succeed, you get a critical success! The GM tells you some extra effect you get.

If you roll your number exactly, you have GUN AURA. You get a special insight into what’s going on. Ask the GM a question and they’ll answer you honestly. Some good questions: (A roll of GUN AURA counts as a success.)

What are they really feeling? Who’s behind this? How could I get them to __? What should I be on the lookout for?
What’s the best way to __? What’s really going on here?

HELPING: If you want to help someone else who’s rolling, say how you try to help and make a roll. If you succeed, give them +1d.

Play to find out how they defeat the threat. Introduce the threat by showing evidence of its recent badness. Before a threat does something to the characters, show signs that it’s about to happen, then ask them what they do. “Ironwood charges the mega-cannons on his ship. What do you do?” “Roman pours you a glass of Arcturan whiskey and slips his arm around your waist. What do you do?”

Call for a roll when the situation is uncertain. Don’t pre-plan outcomes—let the chips fall where they may. Use failures to push the action forward. The situation always changes after a roll, for good or ill
