Before You Publish

Before publishing a World built on Progression 2d6:

• make the Tier ladder use the setting's own vocabulary, and verify every tier key used by Characters, Threats, Paths, Techniques, Equipment, and Tracks;
• replace the demo Path and Techniques unless they belong in the finished World;
• verify each playable character has a valid System Profile, starting Tier, rating map, required Path/Techniques, and correctly keyed Resource state;
• confirm Character Creation generates the same keys the profile defines;
• give every Reach Technique an exact action scope and every Path stage a breakthrough requirement that creates play;
• define when every Threat and Progress Track changes state;
• make the opening scene demonstrate the system's reason to exist: a power gap, a permission change, earned leverage, or a breakthrough should matter on screen;
• check the Discover cover and page copy at thumbnail size and remove claims that make the system sound universal if the World has a sharper fantasy.

Then run a short Luna regression: equal-Tier action, two-tier gap, Technique Reach, completed Progress Track, Growth/Breakthrough, and a clarification-only exchange where no durable state should change.
