currently working on the Factions chapter
Calling in a Favor
Whenever a character faces a social, financial or legal consequence, they can call upon a faction to take the brunt of that consequence, rather than tackle it themselves. This incurs debt.
Repaying a Debt
The GM can have a faction make a demand of an indebted character. If they fulfill the demand, one of their debts to the faction is repaid. If they fail or refuse, they incur an additional debt.
Insolvency
If a character accrues too much debt, the faction will take direct, hostile action to recoup their losses and/or punish the character. This can range from embargoes to arrest to assassination.
