FAQ

With no bleeding out, what happens if we all go down?

For starters, everyone will have to make a wound draw from being down for longer than 15 seconds. After that there may be further immediate consequences, such as the PCs being looted, having harmful EFFECTs applied, or have further non-Dire wounds inflicted upon them. There will almost certainly be knock-on effects on later linear encounters or plot due to the NPCs succeeding at their goal. After making their wound draws PCs are revived on one hit point and can continue.

It's possible there will be high stakes encounters where a party wipe will mean execution or conversion to DPCs. These cases will be telegraphed beforehand.
