It quite clearly illustrates the vagueness of myth in Blades compared to more trad approach. But like the prep in trad game this "cloud of potential" is also mainly created by the GM, and it is the GM who chooses what about it to actualise. But they really are doing this on their own whim. Are there guards dogs to be avoided? GM decides. Are there statues that help you sneak through the yard? The GM decides. Are there fancy locks that need to be picked? The GM decides. Etc. etc. And as this all is decided on the fly, instead of being predetermined, there really is no objective measure of when the score is "finished." And I am absolutely sure, that to most GMs how well the party is doing overall, will impact what the GM will frame next. Like if they do super well early on, the GM will be more willing to frame more obstacles than if they did terribly early on. Because there is not any objective benchmark for how much there should be, not even a self imposed one in form of binding prep.</blockquote>
