Maybe I'm not understanding the rules correctly, but, it is regards to rolling a chaotic event from the start. I am using regular six sided dice, so, one is marked as chaso as suggested. The rules state (I think) that if you roll a chaos without an energy (so a bad 1 and 2 - 6 on the energy die) then you go right to chaotic protocol. If this is your first turn, it guarantees a loss because you look at the energy die to determine which free marker card has a chaos event. Then, if you do jot lose anything from this you pay a tax with a cash card, if you do not have cash, then you go right into personal chaotic event and incure debt, therefore losing.
An example: red die is chaos and blue is energy, noted as RD and BD.
In my very first roll of a round, I roll a RD1 and BD3, I go into chaotic protocol, where my 3rd rune (swap) has a face down rune to indicate the chaos event. Since I have no assets, cash, or time and gained none from my roll, I lose nothing with this chaos event and SHOULD pay a tax with a cash card of my choice. I just started, I do not have cash, so, I can't pay the tax and then face a personal chaos event, which means I roll the chaos dir again to determine the level, let's say a BD5. I now owe a certain amount and must pay on my next turn, right? Well, if I don't roll a scenario to gain a card to pay back the debt, the game is over.
Basically, if you start off the game with a chaos event roll scenario, you lose, you won't be able to pay back event the smallest debt, which is 20. I could be wrong and maybe missed something in the rules, but it's a bit of an unfair chance. I do need help figuring this out.
If I'm not mistaken, then a solution could be to have each round start with a small cash pile to begin with, maybe a random draw of 3 cards or even two.
I think another issue so far, is the rules are a little vague in spots like this and maybe a couple more examples could be shown, maybe of a first turn both with and without a chaos roll. I know that would be a lot of extra editing and design and I do apologize for that, I'm honestly just a little confused.
