I’ve found I’m not that good at improvising details of Scores. Before the last session, my crew chose a Score hook to follow, which let me try a new prep method that worked out great. One key requirement is that the crew decided what Score they wanted to do before the session, allowing me to prep it in depth.

Amazing read! I’ve copied/pasted parts and booked marked the site to share with others.
I start by asking each character to list a primary and secondary payout (coin, crew upgrade, crew gear, faction status, etc…). Everyone rolls a d20. High number is the primary goal of the next score. Low number is an optional goal that should require the crew to push themselves too far to get, but is possible.
