Is the expectation in BITD that heists/scores are completely freestyled? Like you roll the various options and bam you're doing it? Or would a more typical approach be to think of a few in broad terms, based on the party's position and history, and present a selection?

bewilderment posted:Court of Blades is officially out and seems like it's a FitD aimed straight at me. yeah, i can do that no prob just gaming out how i'd be doing it. a good trick is to pick a building you know well and use the layout from that.

My hawker players have spent several sessions setting up a previously haunted mansion to host a rave and sell their drugs at, what are some things I could have happen during the inaugural opening rave? Not wanting to plot it out obv, just wanting some happenings and left turns to throw in

the ability to give someone a bonus dice on their stress roll by helping then with it is gold, you get great little two hander scenes and entanglements.

Eh in practice it works fine, and makes downtime much more interesting rather than having everyone off in their bubble, if it's a houserule it's a good and fun one imo.quote:Freeplay is for hanging out and vibing with the characters (and gathering info once they've decided to do a score, but that's kind of secondary). This is the phase of the game in which you play through the PCs' daily lives, the daily lives of your various NPCs, and the daily life of the city. Like exactly. Having players get a modest bonus for hanging with each other pays significant dividends, and if it makes it a little easier to get stress back then so what? Stress is fun to spend.

It's effortless to make a crews life harder though? If you want them more stressed, just make them more stressed, every single action roll is at gm discretion. Bitd is not imo mechanically tight enough that an extra die on stress recovery will change anything meaningful.

In general i think the players right, because it happens in indeterminate between score time? Idk if there are any hard rules against it though
