Countdowns¶

Sometimes the GM, or a specific mechanic, utilises a countdown. Countdowns are a way for the table to keep track of a coming event, which you do by setting a die to a certain value, then ticking that number down until it reaches 0. A countdown might tick down every time an action roll is made, every time a PC rolls with Fear, during each downtime, or any other parameter (either set by the specific mechanics or by the GM to reflect the fiction). To learn more about countdowns, see the "Countdowns" section on page 162.
