Firefly Prime: Mods
Mods[edit]
We will be using the following Mods in this game.
Action Resolution(ish): We will be using a single opposed roll to determine the success or failure of a given action. I will put together an opposing pool to the PC's roll if they are initiating the action. If I am initiating the action, I will roll before the PC or assign a static difficulty. Ties go to the Defender.
Hero Dice: If a player beats the GM's roll or static difficulty by 5 or more, the Character earns a Hero Die equal their Effect die if the effect die is higher than 
Effect Die: Effect dice won't always apply to a roll, but when they do we will use them. Since we are not using contests, this pretty much limits them to asset creation, complications, hero dice, and stress. effect results are always a null result to avoid the weird rules for using as an asset, complication, stress, or hero rating, which happen to be particularly cumbersome in PBP.
Plot Points: Players start each episode with 1 pp and may earn pp via SFX and GM purchased hitches. All plot point spend options from p28-29 apply except Join a Contest since we are not using contests.
GM Plot Points: GM starts each episode with 1 pp per player and may earn subsequent pp with SFX.
Opportunities: Players may purchase GM rolled opportunities to step back complications or stress or to step up an asset for the scene.
Stress and Complications: This game uses a single Stress Track (on the character table) to cover personal stress for individual characters, and we will be using Complications to represent external obstacles. Stress is accrued by failing a high stakes roll. Hitches will not be used to create or step up stress. Players may push stress (spend a pp to use it as an asset for one roll) but the stress is then stepped up following that action.
- GMC Stress: Where the characters inflict stress on Major GMCs (Minor GMCs and Extras don't get Stress) I will track their stress by name and die rating in a spoiler block at the end of each GM update where it applies.
