[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9626365, member: 984"] I think it's unfortunate as well. I'm not privy to anything behind the scenes, so I don't know the finances it was/would've taken to at least bundle the existing PDFs and sell on itch or something, but supposedly there are new Cortex products in the works so time will tell. Also, to veer myself back towards the topic: This kind of "how do you approach solving this challenge" flexibility is both good advice all around for every obstacle and key in these kind of multi-task and multi-track situations like heists. And thus where system ideas like Challenges (either from Cortex Prime or skill challenges or their ilk) can be great, as both it allows everyone to highlight their character (both abilities and personalities), aids when the party is split up and something unusual/new comes up for a character that might ordinarily be considered outside of their wheelhouse, and it also avoids needing the GM to come up with specific obstacles/items/etc and trying to distribute them across multiple locations and play that balancing role to ensure they're not accidentally shafting a character with something that they cannot succeed with (if it's intentional, then no problem). Creating consequences and complications can be more open, flexible, free, and even fun, as is the players coming up with creative ways of overcoming them that fit their schtick and personality and more. :) [/QUOTE]
