And also, as was pointed out to me in another discussion - you might want to keep the +3 Walls anyway if the intention is a short arc where the walls could eventually be overcome. Guess it really depends on how you intend the play to go. :)
Yeah, that makes sense. I obviously haven't had the time to have play experience, but also yeah if the intent is to have it finished in a short arc, rather than a moon to inhabit or return to, you would want it to be Realizable in a reasonable amount of time. :)
So a thought I had - do you need the "+3 Walls always remain unscathed" sentence? Having it be a Sentence seems to invite players to engage with the walls, but it being +3 and how broad it is seem like it's discouraging to the attempt. If you want players/characters to be more creative about how they get into vaults, maybe something like "+0 Bastille always denies easy access."? They'd still have to put at least +1 effort into it, and then you get the fun of Realizing the sentence once they've had some wins to make it difficult again.
I feel like not wanting to have a sentence countered is sort of antithetical to the spirit of the game? That's the way you refine it to its particulars.
It can still be powerful even as a +0 sentence, because you still would need a suitable Means to counter it - and even countering it don't end it, just stops it for a situation. And then the players/characters wouldn't necessarily have what they came to the Moon for, so they'll still have to come back in and re-engage with the situation.
(And if the goal is to permanently break the loop for everyone on the Moon, a +3 sentence only needs to be Countered 3 times before it's retired, vs at least 12 attempts if it's at +0.)
Ha! This is fun; love that of course there are going to be Moons that have gone down a singular weird path, and it'll be up to players to figure out how to get what they want out of them.
Thanks! Yeah, honestly this came about because I really want to play a Peregrine, and so I had to know where they came from... really kind of set what sort of tones I wanted it to have.
