Hey everyone! Small announcement that I've just published v1.3 of this SRD! This update includes some additional details on how tracks are used, which, I think, weren't very clear  in the original document.

Checks

In the updated version, I updated the wording a bit that talks about impact/cost in the check section to highlight that the impact and the cost is the final number of dice rolled by each party.

We call the final size of the player’s and GM’s pools the impact and the cost, respectively. Those can be modified by other factors, but they start as the initial number of dice rolled by each party.

Challenges / Countdowns

I've updated the wording on both those paragraphs to re-highlight that the impact is the number of dice the player rolled, while the cost is the number of dice the GM rolled!

When PCs tie or succeed a check related to a challenge, they can mark boxes on the challenge matching the number of dice the player rolled. We call this the impact of the roll. When all the boxes are filled, the challenge is resolved. Work all together to decide what that means in the story.

When PCs tie or fail a check related to a countdown, mark boxes on the countdown matching the number of dice the GM rolled. We call this the cost of the roll. When all the boxes of the countdown are filled, something horrible happens, and the situation gets worse for everyone

Plot Tracks

Tracks has been renamed Plot Tracks (Thanks Binary Star Games for the amazing suggestion) to highlight the fact that those could be set at the character, group or even the story level

Your Plot Tracks The game has different plot tracks that help organizes its gameplay. When completed, there’s a cinematic conclusion happening in the story that changes the world or the scene. For your game, think about the different short-term elements that you want the group to focus on, and add plot track either at the character, group or story level.  Then, for each track, ask yourself: What makes this track progress? What happens when it is filled (new aspect, new ability, new danger, etc.)? Can boxes in this track be unmarked?

Hope you appreciate this update, and talk to you soon!
