OOC
You can use wheels to work on a variety of projects during "downtime." We use Slippage to hand-wave when wheels happen.
2 Weekly Dice
You get two dice to roll each week. You can spend one or both on projects. You always get these Weekly Dice. You can bank them if you don't have a wheel in mind. If you're absent, your dice are automatically banked.
The team gets one additional die each week. It can be used for any PC's wheel. If the team can't agree, they vote. This die can't be banked.
One of the best reasons for completing a wheel is being able to say that you completed it. Depending on the nature of the wheel, you may be able to successfully assert to the GM that your PC deserves a particular story-related benefit, access to new contacts/locations/resources, or something similar.
Starting a Wheel
The best way to start a wheel is posting it in #wheels-and-requests in Discord. Please include the skill you think is most appropriate. You can also start a wheel during the launch sequence in most episodes.
The GM track progress on your projects using wheels, in the Player Spreadsheet. The GM sets the length of a wheel and you can see it.
Progress
Your progress depends on your roll:
- Critical Failure: No progress
- Failure: No progress, but +1 when you roll a new weekly die on this wheel
- Success: 1 tick
- Raises: 1 additional tick per raise
After rolling, you can spend a Benny to reroll, as usual.
Possible Projects
Some possible projects include:
- Contacts: Develop connections with beings and/or factions outside the team.
- Crafting: Make stuff. The stuff can be mundane and/or magical. This project can include crafting a variation of a spell. Invention and prototyping may first require Research.
- R&D (Research & Development): Learn more about something (e.g., person, place, object, phenomenon). This project may include scholarly research, lab work, and/or fieldwork.
- Resources: Accumulate money, weapons, armor, gear, real estate, vehicles, etc.
- Spiritual: Deepen your connection to the subtleties of the multiverse, based on your paradigm. This project may include participating in religious services, doing charity/volunteer work, prayer, meditation, etc.
- Support: Help another PC with their project. Use the Support rule.
- Synergy: Practice working together with at least one other being (PC or NPC). If that being is a PC, they must also spend a weekly die. Both dice are rolled and can add ticks.
- Training: Maintain current abilities and/or develop new ones.
Standard Wheels
Some wheels are standard wheels. The default target is 4, as usual.
| Wheel | Roll | Adjustment | Steps | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edge | Unbound | 0 | 36 | You can complete a maximum of 1 per Rank. (If you didn't complete such a wheel in a previous Rank, you still can.) |
| Skill, New | [Ability] | 0 | 36 | You can complete a maximum of 1 per Rank. (If you didn't complete such a wheel in a previous Rank, you still can.) |
| Skill, Improve by 1 Die | [Skill] | 0 | 36 | You can complete a maximum of 1 per Rank. (If you didn't complete such a wheel in a previous Rank, you still can.) |
| Power, Existing | [Arcane Skill] | 0 | 16 | |
| Power, Original | [Arcane Skill] | 0 | 24 |
