You can always come back
What should make returning home after a failed run still feel worthwhile?
Selected directionNew in Edition 3
The direction
Failure should not erase locked-in player power or previously secured stats. A failed run can cost the unextracted haul, but the player returns to a permanent state that is no worse than before the run and can always try again. The broader promise is: you can always come back to this world and make progress.
