Players should understand the causation to resolve the calamity. Reward amusing / plausible reasoning with CPs.
Spend CPs to effect the world or roll a D6 test. Add 1 to your roll if using your skill. Other players may pay CPs on your behalf. Fall unconscious when your CPs equal a negative of your starting CP.
Track combined group criticals (successes & failures) & when they reach 6, the calamity escalates.
EFFECTS

1 Critical Failure: Fail & lose 1 CP
2 & 3 Failure: Subtract 1 from rerolls
