THE SCORE

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME

Sam Howard is a time-traveler in a bad way. An incident with the

quantum lux conductor at work has pushed Sam out of time. Now

he’s slipping through space-time, drawn almost magnetically to key

moments in his past. He can only vaguely control it and, it seems,

once he comes into contact with himself in the past, his past selves

get unstuck in time, too. The trick is that Sam can only time-travel to

places and times with which he has personal familiarity; his quan-

tum echo (or something) reverberates through space-time. If Sam

goes somewhere through regular travel in regular time, he can revisit

it through time-travel. So, Sam-of-the-future has the most freedom to

move around (and knows everything Sam-of-the-past-knows), but is

at the mercy of Sam-of-the-past to shape his memories and history.

Time travel, it turns out, is a real son of a bitch.

HOW IT’S PLAYED

Here’s the catch: You’re all playing Sam—Sams from different times.

This affects play in a few ways:

Arrange the Sams chronologically around the play area, so it’s

easy to track which Sam is older than which and, thus, who

knows everything that past Sams know. This requires some

careful application and interpretation of the Relationships.

Future Sams can be physically involved in scenes of Sam’s past

and, if you want a real iasco, past Sams can travel into the fu-

ture, attracted by the quantum pull of post-incident Sam.

Only one character—the future-most Sam—need be capable of

time-travel at the beginning of play. Or you can make everyone

capable of time-travel and start in the middle of the whole clus-

terfuck. It depends how big of a headache you want. The trick

is that Sam can only travel to roughly where there’s another

Sam. Something about quantum magnetism bullshit.
