| ===== Establish What Matters ===== | ===== Establish What Matters ===== | ||
| + | This is the most basic part of SimpleSix. As a group, GM and players have to discuss and agree on what matters to each adventurer, and to the group as a whole. This will include goals (both ultimate and short term), relationships, | ||
| + | |||
| + | None of this is on the adventurer sheet. It is up to the GM to track it all and remind everyone as needed. With a wiki based online game it is enough to just record the data on a public page shared with all the players and point it out on occasion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In general it is considered fair for a player to unilaterally declare what matters to their adventurer, but they should be open to suggestions from players and GM alike, and feedback. | ||

| ===== Complications in the Action ===== | ===== Complications in the Action ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Actions can be either Complicated or Uncomplicated. This is not really meant to be analogous to complicated directly in the fiction, but meant to denote two types of actions rolls: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Uncomplicated actions resolve with the first measure of progress**. They can be resolved with a single roll, and are more likely to not create complex action sequences. | ||
| + | * **Complicated actions resolves with a specific amount of progress, more than 1**. The more Complicated the situation, the more likely it'll spiral into complex action sequences. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since Progress is a measure of the likeliness of a complex action sequence, it is used when things complicate an action. Take an example: A droid is attempting to hack into a secure door to free a prisoner: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Uncomplicated**: | ||
| + | * **Complicated**: | ||
| + | * **More Complicated**: | ||
| + | * **Even More Complicated**: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Complications don't make the roll harder, they require that many successful rolls. Meaning it increases the chance of getting a failure (which will make the roll harder, and eventually end the action sequence). | ||
