I played my first session of The Sprawl as MC. Overall, it went well but I got confused with the clocks. In fact the players switched from investigation to action, and then returned to investigation.

The objective of the mission was to steal an access card to a bank vault and its code. The code was owned by the trunk owner, Mr Hong. The access card was in the possession of Mr Hong’s bank advisor.

During the investigation phase, the players found the address of Mr Hong, a residencel building and they looked for ways to get in, whitout take care to get information about the banker.

But the investigation phase turned quickly into a phase of action when they wanted to enter the building after the death of two security guards. After a shootout and a muscular interrogation they had the code. But they did not think about having details on the bankers. So they went on an another investigation phase.

And… I lost a little bit of the clock. I did not know what to do. So I continued the game without really taking care of the clock. How would I manage the case?
