Change the effect of the Standard Plan from “The city adds 1DICE3 Florins to the haul” to:-

The City adds 1DICE3 Florins to the Haul. On a roll of 1, the City also adds a Possession to the Haul.

Replace “an additional Possession” with “a Possession” throughout the Plan Effects.

To the end of the rule “The Plan”, add a paragraph:-

When the City is required to “add a Possession” to a Haul, it selects a random type of Possession from the table in the rule “Possessions” and adds one instance of it to the Haul.

Remove the “Add 1 Florin to the Haul” and “Select a random type of Possession from the table in the rule “Possessions” and add one instance of it to the Haul” steps from the Burglary action.

Currently if every Thief chooses to Rest or Lay Low, the group will still somehow steal 1 Florin and a Possession. This moves Possession discovery into the Standard action (with a chance to find more or less than one Possession per Haul), and removes the free Florin.

Not sure I like just letting you get possessions from the standard move. Its also nice knowing there is always at least one possession to split up. Maybe instead we can just add a clause that if everyone lays low the heist fails

The player who makes the move isn’t “getting” the possession, though, it still goes to the pot.

A zero will be rare. The past Hauls would have gotten 1/1/4/3/2/2 possessions under this system.

While I like Clucky’s idea, writing the rule to make it happen would be really awkward. It would have to be a bullet point in the Burglary like this “If every Thief has chosen the Rest or Lay Low plans, skip the next two steps”, even though with the Busted mechanic it’s likely that Rest and Lay Low may change, and then we’d have to keep Burglary in sync.

This just seems simpler.  for
