In the rule “Dilemmas”, in the steps for the Posing a Dilemma atomic action, replace the bullet point that begins with “Make a blog post” with these bullet points:
* Roll 2DICE6. If the result matches a value in the Roll column of the Special Circumstances table, select the corresponding Circumstance as the Special Circumstance for this atomic action.
* Make a blog post which pairs the first Upside with the first Downside, and the second Upside with the second Downside. Include the Special Circumstance in the post if there is one from the preceding step. This post is known as a Dilemma, with each pairing an Outcome.
Add a new rule named “Special Circumstances” and give it the following text:
When a Special Circumstance appears in the Dilemma, it applies immediately to all Districts and uses the District’s values at the time of the posting of the Dilemma.

| 5 || Marauders at the Gates: Calculate B = 5 - Defences. If B is > 0, lose B People.
|}
I would have called this “Events”, but the obvious collision with the Special Case rule of the same name prevented it.
i’d prefer if that mathy clause was explained with plain language instead (wouldn’t “If your Defences are less than 5, lose People equal to the difference” be more intuitive?), but that’s personal preference. i think the overall idea here is fine!

I changed “Barbarians” to “Marauders”. It’s more in keeping with the semi-post-apocalyptic theme.
