Players do only roll 😊 when they roll a result with Backlash, the GM then decides what that Backlash will be (typically guided by common sense). So the players take action (as long as the GM seems it a reasonable thing to do), the dice decide whether it’s successful, and if they have Backlash the GM decides what it’s going to be.

So when a player decides to engage an opponent (let’s say with Might) and they roll a result with Backlash, the GM might choose to deal them a wound if it makes sense in the combat scenario. I hope that helps 😊 

Yes, very much. That's what i thought.

Can you tell us more about the scenario/party you played ?
I'm considering an optional (advanced) rule about the possibility 'stockpiling backlash' (some of it- maybe a pile of dices in the middle of the table). To make something nasty of it when it crumbles, or when the Dm 'take the hand'...

Hey Oliver, apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I’ve been working on Written in Blood, an adventure site/scenario collection which I’ve put up today. It should give you an idea of the kinds of scenarios I run!
