On a 10+, yes, you can just go can buy it like that. On a 7–9, the Keeper chooses one of the following:  \n• it costs 1-budget more than you’d expect  \n• it’s available, but I have to introduce you to that shady Mr. Karpow.  \n• damn, I used to sell that stuff but no more. Maybe if you go to that guy Aaron, he still have some.  \n• sorry, I don’t have that, but maybe this will do instead?  \nWhen you make known that you want a thing and drop some notes to speed it on its way, roll+budget spent (max roll+3) . It has to be a thing you could legitimately get this way. On a 10+ it comes to you, no strings attached. On a 7–9 it comes to you, or something pretty close. On a miss, it comes to you, but with strings very much attached.  \nJOBS ON SCREEN  \nPaying jobs on screen:  \n• Profit: the Keeper can choose whether to come in on the end of the successful job, or let the w","cbCaikB0fiaJTqHI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikB0fiaJTqHI","pdf",1053149,"English","# JOBS\n## BUDGET\n# CREW\n# THE BOSS\n# ADDITIONAL RULES\n## BUDGET MOVES\n## JOBS ON SCREEN\n# OTHER HIGHLIGHT\n## CREATING A BOSS\n### NAME\n### STATS\n### MOVES","[{\"question\":\"What job roles does The Boss choose, and how do profit and catastrophe work?\",\"answer\":\"The Boss selects three paying jobs and one obligation job.
