Roll and compare highest matching results to determine success, stress, or complications. Characters are classless, lightly sketched with features and stresses, and advance by hard choices rather than build math.

## How Play Feels

Prep is minimal: each scenario is framed with goals, threats, and branching fallout clocks. The line’s signature “you as the characters” premise, plus myth‑scale threats in the everyday world, delivers immediacy: your commute, your grocery, your phone battery—all at stake.
