Hey there! Love your stuff! Been thinking of running my first RPG, and have settled on the Orbital Decay microgame for a Halloween one-shot :)
I know 2400 is meant to be open to interpretation, but I'm new to RPGs and quite nervous about doing it well :') My understanding how the stress mechanic worked was that if someone wanted to reason that they were able to do something because it incited their fight-or-flight response (eg. making a quick breakaway from combat), they would roll their die to see what the stress effect of that action was. And after each use of it per player, the stress die size increases/resets after sleep.
I was confused by the lines 'if that die rolls highest' and 'when it's highest in a roll' though, because it insinuates more than one die being rolled? Could you correct me if my understanding of what you had in mind for the stress mechanism was different?
Apologies for the slightly pedantic question, and keep doing the cool things you do <3
