+That said, if you cannot treat your own wounds you are reliant on others to do so, at their expense. There's nothing stopping you buying some of the supplies needed along with the painkillers and passing them along. Healing is very cheap, but sooner or later people are going to resent paying your bills for you...

 Smoke grenades are fine, everything else is a no for now. At future events, I may look into allowing other types of grenade, but I need a better sense of potential damage to the site and check with Ann as to what Giants Seat allows. I know smoke is fine…
-If you want to use smoke grenades please use white or yellow. Other colours will be used to phys-rep REDACTED and REDACTED so please avoid those. I have a small supply (10) of yellow smoke grenades I am happy to sell on to people for the £5 I paid for them. Smoke grenades have also been added to the equipment list.

 Bring the phys-rep for whatever it was anyway. You won't be paid a single lump sum when a big bad dies around 3pm on Sunday. You will be paid immediately after each mission you complete, and you can spend that money immediately as well, so if you complete mission A and realise a GPS tracker would have made it much, much easier, you can potentially buy a tracker before mission B goes out. However, once play has started the price list will change significantly.
-Be careful when spending at an event. You will need to service your debts to the smugglers in downtime and you will need to pay upkeep fees for a variety of things (your weapon, your armour, and you). As a very rough guide I am expecting each mission to pay between 500 and 1000 credits, and for each player to do about 6 missions. My aim is to pay enough over the course of the event for the average player to be able to pay all their bills and maybe buy a skill between events. Players who manage to spirit away the better loot might get more, players who fail some of their missions might have a few financial woes ahead…

 <fc #e37700>**Do I need to write a backstory?**</fc>
-Not yet, no.
+Need, no.\\
-In essence, this event is a glorified playtest. During downtime I will be asking people for any backstory they want to provide and whether or not they want to pursue any personal plot points at Event 2. Everyone will be asked to provide personal objectives for Event 2, and I will work as many of these into the event as I can. For now though, you're a bunch of newbies who need to learn how to be a freelancer before you get cocky with actual goals and ambitions.
+However a few players have provided odds and ends of plot and indeed entire factions of protagonists based on character backgrounds, so if you have ideas you want refs to run with that's a good way to make it happen.
-All of the above is entirely optional.
