## Directory Notes

## Theme and Setting

Tone is bright, adventurous, and flexible—from earnest Trek‑style diplomacy to goofy capers. Core Mechanics Each character has one number (2–5) between Lasers (logic, tech, calm) and Feelings (intuition, rapport, passion).

## How Play Feels

To attempt something risky, roll 1–3 d6: you succeed on each die that’s on the correct side of your number (≤ for Lasers, ≥ for Feelings). Expertise, help, and gear add dice; acting against your strengths may remove one.

## What Makes It Distinct

When you roll exactly your number, you have Laser Feelings : ask the GM a question and get a tactical advantage. The loop keeps scenes brisk and cinematic—no granular positioning or damage math.

## Where It May Not Fit

You want denser mechanical crunch or build complexity You want combat and action to drive most of the session.
