Starforged rules question
So I'm on Session 2 of a Starforged campaign. And I'm struggling with the notion that everything gets a "progress bar" attached to it, and how you resolve progress on the progress bar with progress in the fiction.
Let me give you an example. Suppose I'm in combat and my objective is to restrain a man on my ship who is shooting a blaster at me. So I assign a rank and a progress bar and get on with the fighting.
Suppose I make some progress. Maybe I hit him with my own blaster. Say that's 2 boxes filled out of 10.
Then on my next move, I roll well, and I manage to actually take his blaster from him, and tie him up. Maybe that gives me 2 more boxes of progress.
Despite the situation now being fully resolved, I still have this awkward progress bar with 4 out of 10 boxes filled. What is the meaning of that, relative to the fiction in which the fight is already won?
