Weather the reels of Stormborn for fun, not to chase the lightning you've lost
Stormborn is a game and nothing more. Even so, real-money play can build into a storm you didn't see coming. If it starts to darken your finances or your mood, reach for help now. Support holds steady every hour, and you don't face the storm alone.
Set what you can afford to lose before the first bolt strikes, then hold firm.
Storms rage for hours, so mark a stopping point and honor it.
A strike that misses is spent, so don't throw more at the sky to win it back.
Find shelter between sessions to keep your thinking clear.
