'''GM:''' The GM begins the game with a number of GMC Plot Points equal to the number of players. He also has a big damn pile of Plot Points with which to buy Hitches, award character Plot Points, etc

Because it's PBP actions will be sorted with each update rather than using the back and forth method that can require several rolls from both sides for a single action. I typically will use opposed rolls. If it's going to be a set difficulty I will say so at the outset.

Some rolls won't require effect dice, but where they could come into play we will be using them. Roll your pool and choose two dice to represent your outcome total and one die to act as your effect die. Outcome dice cannot be used as effect dice. The number rolled counts for the outcome total, but only the type of die counts for your effect.

If you roll an extraordinary success you get to bank a Big Damned Hero Die equal to the highest die in the opposing pool. You can pay a PP on any roll to add a BDHD to your roll and you get to add three dice together rather than two for your total outcome. Total outcome dice still can't be used as effect dice.

Creating assets is commonly done by paying a PP to just make up a [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] asset out of thin air. Some SFX allow the player to bump such assets up to  [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]].

Assets always start at a minimum of  [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] and complications that drop below  [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] are removed. Prime defaults to  [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] but IMO that's just adding unnecessary grist to the hitch mill when pbp games already run slow by default.

'''House Rule:''' Letting complications go as low as [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] is fiddly in the RAW - esp for PBP - so I am harking back to an older version of Cortex where Assets start no lower than [[file:d6a.png|24px]] and Complications start no lower than [[file:d6a.png|24px]] and when being stepped back fall away below [[file:d6a.png|24px]]

==Clues==
A specific kind of asset you can generate is a clue. You can use the clue immediately {adding it to your rolls for a scene} or you can spend a PP to either give it to another player or to bank it, which lets you use it in your rolls for the entire session.
