The crew just ran a social/stealth score to locate an unknown, powerful figure that had been causing a lot of trouble for their contacts and turf. The score went super well. Lots of terrifying moments, chase scenes, and new mysteries introduced.

Here’s the thing.

When we finished the score, I couldn’t come up with a good reason to give them coin. Their past several scores yielded huge profits which led to this situation in the first place. Various factions seeking revenge. So it was more of a preventative score in the first place. Which is why we all agreed it didn’t make sense to acquire coin.

So I guess the question is – is it cool not to reward coin when it doesn’t make sense in the fiction? Should I substitute new contacts, gear, turf, etc instead? Just curious what you all would recommend in this situation.
