CORES
This is for the first TECH JAM.If you like this, please tell me about it! @eldritchmouse This is a short little text of a singular mechanic you might want to try out for a game you're making. This is inspired from RDR2, but doesn't quite work the same. Characters have CORES, that they need to manage in some way. They can pull from the CORES to power their abilities or boost their rolls.  It's all vague. There's some additional hacking tips at the end. But mostly, it's all a hack.
