Forged in the Dark

Roll a pool of D6 and read the highest die: 6 is a full success, 4 or 5 a partial, two 6s a critical.

1. 1Roll as many D6 as your action rating and read the highest die
2. 26 is a full success, 4 or 5 a success with a consequence, 1 to 3 a bad outcome
3. 3Two or more 6s is a critical; with zero dice roll two and keep the lowest
4. 4The GM sets position (controlled, risky, desperate) and effect before you roll
5. 5Assist, push yourself or take a Devil’s Bargain for an extra die
6. 6Resist a consequence by paying stress; clocks track every obstacle
