Builder's Manual · Chapter 5
Building Operations
Use Build an Operation for the first brief: job type, objective, stakes, payout, and up to six Brief Questions. The flow leaves world references empty so you can link the actual Crew, Target, Factions, Locations, and other records afterward.
Brief Questions begin as questions. Turn them into Leads when they matter; turn a Lead into Intel only after verification. Add Obstacles when a barrier exists.
Build problems, not solutions. Give players facts, people, barriers, and consequences, then let them make the plan.
