Sorry I found this so late. Thor and I were just talking about this.

In a more open-ended game, typically I'd expect whoever was playing that character simply to come up with different BITs through the course of changing events.

JB, hindsight may not be helpful, but if you find yourself in a similar situation again, one option is simply to write in new Beliefs and Instincts onto the sheet, tuned to issues in play at that moment. Whether I would have thought fast enough on my feet to do that right there in the moment, though ... well hell, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have.


As always, Ron as intuited a great solution. Having a situation change whether it's in fiction or in meat space is a perfect opportunity to change Beliefs. Next time something like this happens in your game, stop the action and showcase the process. Put the player writing this new Belief into the spotlight. When the action starts up again, it will be readily apparent how powerful a tool Beliefs are.

Thanks for your questions and thanks to Ron for the assist.
