If you’re unsure how to resolve a roll, think about these quick phrases:

Success with Hope: Yes, and… (You get what you want and gain a Hope.)

Success with Fear: Yes, but… (You get what you want, but there’s a consequence, and the GM gains a Fear.)

Failure with Hope: No, but… (Things don’t go as planned, but you gain a Hope.)

Failure with Fear: No, and… (Things don’t go as planned and it gets worse. The GM gains a Fear.)
