so if you wear a mask the cops cant ID your face. fine. but does that mean the stars stay hollow forever or does the description just become about your clothes and your car instead
like is a mask a get out of jail free card or does it just remove one line from the description theyre working off
Accepted answer
A mask removes one line from the description rather than granting immunity. The system builds a description out of appearance, clothing and vehicle, so covering your face leaves the other two intact.
That is why changing clothes and switching vehicles are both mentioned alongside masks. It is a set of attributes and you are trying to break enough of them.
Three steps before a planned crime. Nothing stops you doing something stupid on impulse and living with the consequences, which is most of how anyone actually plays.
ok that makes so much more sense than how i was thinking about it. its not a disguise its a checklist you are trying to fail
so optimal play is mask plus a jacket you never wear plus a car you stole two minutes ago. thats three steps before every crime
A checklist you are trying to fail is a genuinely great way to describe it and I am stealing that.
The gap between how people say they will play and how they actually play is where this system gets interesting lol
