Resolving a Venture

The venture phase continues based on the character’s actions and the world’s response. Like we covered in The Basics, the majority of play is a conversation built around goals and obstacles. Follow the momentum of the dice and story where it leads.

The venture ends in one of two ways.

The team can complete its task. Any task undertaken for a Contact will have a specific success condition. Once you meet that condition and reach a place of (relative) safety, the venture comes to a close.

Or the team can give up on its venture. Maybe the consequences have spiralled out of control. Maybe you learned something new and don’t want to complete the task. Maybe you have filled your stress trackers and marked off every condition. Whatever the case, the team can end a venture at any point. Describe how the scene resolves, and cut away to the next phase: town.
