Correct - either you know or you don't.

I rolled one less die that I should have for a Stealth roll and passed the roll. Should I reroll nonetheless?

EDIT: Did just in case, and passed, so no change anyway.

For the Hungry City event, if someone is co-op with you can they apply their free raise to your roll if you're leading the co-op roll?

for the crew event do all members of the crew have to be involved in all parts? For example could one person steal the goods and then another fence them?

In terms of everyone going in and swapping roles and rolls - that is how it is already intended, yes.

If you mean some people not going in at all it wasn't the intent.

That said I'll allow it because it does make sense but you need to declare who is going in and who is staying out in the first roll of the event because you will be bound by whose skills and bonuses are available to use. Those outside will not be part of any cooperative rolls gaining access, inside, nor escaping.

Failing the first roll still means that that timeslot is occuped, right?

Missed this, sorry, yes I'd allow it in this scenario (ruling may not apply in the future because I'm sure it could generate a lot of jank in a less structured situation).

I'll be benevolent and say you can do other 'at home' tasks in the slot since it's only a few minutes out of the hours.

Do these three days of fast and praying we're going through have a name? I can't manage to find it.
