Neon lights glow through the science of excited atoms. When electricity passes through a sealed tube of neon gas, electrons jump to higher energy levels. As they return, they release energy as vibrant light, creating dazzling displays in cities worldwide.


House Rules and System Hacks


In the course of gaming, there are some concepts that we want to bring into our game that aren’t supported by the published materials of the game system. Sometimes, we want to gamify an element of our story in order to give our players meaningful choices. And sometimes, the Four Thieves philosophy is at odds with the design philosophy used by our system of choice. When we retool something for our games, we’ll take the notes from that session and share it with you here. Feel free to use them as they are, or as inspiration for your own hacks and house rules.
