I’m curious: Blades has a fair bit of time travel (flashbacks) and mode switches (gather info vs score vs downtime). So how do you as a GM deal with consequences of “out of score” actions? For example: a PC is gathering info, something goes wrong, and he takes harm or stress. So he’d go into the score wounded/stressed? Or a flashback goes pear-shaped and the PC takes trauma. It’s permanent, so when we come back to “now” he’s traumatised?

I asked the same question – I think the overwhelming answer was that the PC is out of the Score from the point they flashed back.
I find it to be a great opportunity to have a dramatic reveal. They were hiding this traumatic event the whole time and now it’s caused a huge problem!
