Combining Subsystems

Parent page Deciding to Use a Subsystem

Some of the subsystems in this chapter could interact in interesting ways when combined. For instance, the influence subsystem could be part of how you build up reputation, or a piece of the plan in an infiltration. Or you could have a hexploration chase with a rival adventuring group, encountering obstacles in each hex as you race for the prize—while using vehicles to travel faster! Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide how two combined subsystems should interact to tell your group’s particular story, though it’s generally good to have a backdrop subsystem that you’re tracking on a longer term to which the shorter-term subsystem contributes.
