Legacy Event Focus
Been enjoying the system for a few months now and I wanted to share an idea from saving my old Threads/Characters. It's a new random event focus called "Legacy Event", in which like I described either retired storylines or forgotten characters that you thought were dead and buried come back into the story after you crossed them off your list by virtue of rolling on a list.
A good way to handle this is whenever your story veers off course and into the territory where it doesn't really make sense to keep focusing on whatever your characters are doing at the moment you jot them down on a long-form Thread/Character list and tuck it away. Days or even weeks pass and you roll Legacy Event and a character you forgot about/abandoned returns or consequences of a decision made by during a Thread or NOT finishing a thread rear their head again . Make it like a 3% chance on the d100 roll so it is happening very rarely.
It's kind of adjacent to remote event and the opposite of current context, but too my knowledge not something that's been introduced in any of the magazines I've skimmed so there ya go.
