  • Part of the Plan

    Give one Flashback Token to each PC. They can expend this token to initiate a flashback scene, describing how they have prepared for the current situation upfront. Flashback scenes can only change context not continuity and must remain plausible. Each flashback scene must be resolved by at least one action roll, its outcome determining how well the PC's preparation paid off.
