DISCLAIMER: As we've not done a session yet I have not play-tested these rules, meaning they're likely to change. Feel free to suggest or protest these rules if you've got ideas. 

1. Scheduling:

1. Sessions will be held every Thursday unless stated otherwise.
2. Continuous attendance will be rewarded via an extra gift improvement every 5 sessions (unless absences are due to medical or family matters).
   1. If the GM (Kian) misses a session for whatever reason, that week will be counted towards player's extra gift improvement. 
3. If we are missing 2 or more players that session, the remaining players are forbidden from starting new main missions. Already began main missions are fair game.
4. If we are missing 1 player, it is up to the missing player to decide on whether the remaining players can start new main missions.

2. Campaign Structure:

1. The Contract RPG™ system is designed with episodic sessions in mind. Think continuous DnD One-Shots with returning characters, rather than long form campaigns like in typical DnD. This playgroup is an attempt to explore how a long form campaign could work in this system and to introduce you guys to my favourite system.
2. Throughout the campaign main missions and side missions will be uncovered. Some Side missions will be written whilst others may be entirely invented via player drive to do something, go down any rabbit hole you desire. 
   1. Main missions: All main missions will always grant the players a gift point (via a victory) and/or trophy alongside giving pushing the narrative forwards. These are longer missions and may take multiple sessions depending on your pace
   2. Side missions: Not all side missions will grant the players with a trophy but will move the players towards a gift point and experience (using a milestone system the GM will be tracking). Side missions may not directly push narrative forward but may make main missions easier in the form of clues, trophies or party members. 
3. This is a new system for most of you so please please please ask questions when you have them. 

3. Rules on Gifts:

1. Gift are what make your character extra special, go wild and crazy.
2. Make your gifts whatever you want, you can focus on flavour and find what best fits your backstory or you can completely min max this and make yourself as powerful as possible, whatever sounds fun to you: do that.  
3. Gift points earned from main missions and accumulated from side missions will be granted to players via victories. Victories give a singular gift point and a small dosage of experience. More importantly, victories push your character towards becoming Seasoned and then eventually Veteran, which are ranks that allow you to choose more powerful gift types and gift enhancements.
4. Please do not use seasoned and veteran gift types or enhancements without GM permission.
5. Please do not improve, change or grant new gifts during a side or main mission with GM permission. Do this between sessions or at the end of a mission. 
6. Please keep track of your gift costs (usually an exertion of mind or source), that is your responsibility as the player, not the GM (honest mistakes are ok though, its a brand new system for most of you).
7. Please become familiar with your gifts, purely just to make it easier for the GM. Feel free to ask questions.

4. Changes to the system (WIP):

1. Player Recap Act 2005
   1. At the start of every session, the GM will ask the players for one of them to recap what happened previously. The first volunteer will receive a Moxie token upon the recap.
   2. Moxie tokens are tokens that remain on a player until spent or until the end of that session. A player cannot hold onto more than one Moxie token at a time.
   3. Moxie tokens have the following effects when spent:
      1. 1-4 Victories: Counts as an exertion for that round (AND ignoring penalty, adding +1 Outcome).
      2. 10-24 Victories: The roll cannot be Botched.
      3. 25+ Victories: If applicable, Will to Survive is reset for the current mission.
2. Repeated Action (Non-Combat) Act 1993
   1. A character attempting the same non-combat action under identical conditions will always achieve the same result. To attempt again, something meaningful must change. A new tool, a circumstance, a piece of knowledge, or external assistance. The world is not a slot machine; it's a puzzle to be outwitted.

   2. As combat is inherently fluid and reactive, players may repeat actions freely; circumstances are assumed to shift moment by moment, even if subtly.

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER. I WILL FINISH THIS LATER!!!
