Absolutely love this concept, I'm going to run this with some friends tonight. My only question is, from the Encore, what does it mean to "take opportunities to facilitate the bad end"?

Oh hell yeah, that's so awesome!!! I hope you and your table have a good time :)) And good question! That was some language that I'm planning on making clearer in the update later this summer.
Here's the scoop: When The Encore enters The Loop, they receive a vision of something that will go wrong if the party doesn't change their course. As long as the Encore isn't actively doing things to stop that event from still happening, they remain in The Loop.
At first, it might sound counterintuitive to purposefully lead the party into a bad situation, but the Encore is a big risk vs reward playbook — the closer you can barrel towards a bad situation, the better chances you have of diverting course at the last possible second and saving everyone.
