Welcome aboard! If you can make it, the Friday 'kaffeeklatsches' that @Jonah Fishel runs on Fridays are a *lot* of fun!

@Elizabeth Roberts I made the Top 5! in my group Except every week it gets harder. I need to be #1 in my group to make the cut on Thursday -- after that I think they combine all the first place finishers into one big group for a run-off... so this is going to go on for a few more weeks (for omebody -- maybe even for me!)

"Identify Caller" - yeah, I can see the phone number but they're not in my contacts. Who is this? "Create Gasoline" - man, I could really use this spell these days. "Heal Credit Rating" - self-explanatory. Casting for a friend. "Elminster's Instant Delivery" - place the order online and wherever you are, a truck pulls up a minute later with your order. "Speak to Human" - cast it before placing a call to a customer service line. You go straight to a person without jumping through a dozen digital menus and AI voices first. "Resist Junk Fees" - remarkably, when you buy something, you only pay for the thing you're buying and not the 'convenience' of buying it or add-ons that you don't want or need "Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Spambot" - speak the invocation while reading a piece of junk email. The sender's inbox receives a special piece of junk email that reappears doubled every time they delete it.

@Arun Gupta The point of clocks isn't specific steps -- in fact, it's a lack of specific steps. So "The Guards Find You" -- that's interesting phrasing. Do the PCs know the guards are looking for them? If so, I might flip the clock on its head and say "You Try To Escape the Guards". But, keeping it as it was... First, how hard is it for the Guards to find them? It's a small town, the PCs are new and stand out, and it's daylight -- relatively easy, maybe a 4 Clock. It's a big city, the players are well-connected, and it's night -- challenging, maybe an 8 Clock (I don't generally go above an 8 count clock. I usually find that things that might call for a high clock count can get broken down into multiple smaller clocks). Next, what are the PCs actions and how successful are they -- or how noisy/obvious? Something like failing a Stealth or Disguise roll could advance the clock, but so could getting into an argument with someone in public, riding in a city where most people walk, or heading back to a place which the guards know they frequent. Since you've phrased it as "The Guards Find Them", I'm assuming the guards finding them is inevitable. If it's not, you might want to use a chase mechanic -- set up 2 clocks. Every time the PCs do something to successfully escape from the guards, their clock goes up one tick. Every time the PCs do something which makes it more likely the guards will find them (like one of the actions above), the guard clock goes up one tick. If the PCs fill their clock first, they get away from the guards and don't have to worry about that for a while. If the guards fill theirs first, they find the PCs. "Clock" is some ways is a misnomer. They're not a countdown in the sense of time or fixed steps. Maybe think of it more like 'meter'? Hope this helps.

I said "All" not because I'm a purist but because I believe that if a player spends most of their sessions as a passenger, they're less involved in the game and more likely to miss sessions or drop out because they don't feel like part of the campaign.
