The Mustache Rule (The Most Important Rule in the Game)

Anyone wearing a fake mustache, or wearing a name badge reading “Aleksander Dravo” is one of Dravo’s lookalikes, and looks exactly like him.

Your characters cannot tell these lookalikes apart, though you can. Do your best to ignore this OOC knowledge.

Playing CardsEveryone starts with four playing cards

If two players are in a conflict, they agree on what the outcome of the conflict will be.

Each choose one of the cards from their hand to play. Higher card wins the conflict. Players then give their opponent the card that they played. Aces are low.

If both players agree the conflict is a violent one, the loser chooses and discards a card from their hand as damage.

Abilities

“Interrogation” can be used to extract thoughts and memories from a subject. See the Interrogation presentation in the Interrogation chamber.

“Science” can be used to get from a GM new information about a specimen, if you take a sample to the Laboratory.
