EVERY SCAR, A STORY

An entry for the 24XX Jam

EVERY SCAR, A STORY is a variant approach to handling damage and harm in the 24XX rules. Inspired by Orbital Decay, characters have a stress die that gets rolled and grows in size every time they suffer harm or fear. The higher the result, the more dire the consequences. 

This was written to give some survivability/"plot armor" to 24XX heroes while also maintaining risk and danger. It's inspired by gritty pulp fantasy, hard boiled action movies and heavy metal sci-fi -- any genre where the protagonists get stomped before rising back up to fight.
