## Directory Notes

Tone is table‑defined: you can push toward gritty survival or breezy cinematic adventure without changing the engine. Roll 2d6 for a standard test; roll 3d6 with an advantage and 1d6 with a hindrance.

## Theme and Setting

Each 5–6 counts as a success, so more dice mean better odds rather than bigger math. Characters are classless and sketched in minutes with a few traits, gear, and short concepts.

## How Play Feels

Because resolution stays uniform across actions, scenes move quickly and the GM can focus on fictional positioning and consequences. Optional add‑ons (hit points, stress, or genre widgets) slot in cleanly without bloating the loop.
