Hi, I'm playing with the hardcopy and have a rules question.
The rules for Skill Checks say this.
"The Bastard also removes the highest dice that is equal to or higher than the Hero's result, this should make the pool more challenging."
It seemed like removing a high dice would make the pool less challenging though. Did I misread it?
Cheers, Jim
Hi, What does it mean for a move to have multiple tokens please?
For a day move I guess it means that multiple tokens are added to the faction's tragedy pool when the move is triggered. For example, the Servants' Make a promise move adds two tokens to their pool
For a night move I guess it means that multiple tokens are removed from the pool when the move is triggered. For example, the Servants' Betray your house move removes three tokens from their pool. If the Servants' pool has less than three tokens remaining, that move can't be made.
Cheers, Jim
Sure, here goes.
The prompts are very well constructed. They have the correct level of openness. Prompts that are too open make starting the game too much of a job for the players, I feel, and can result in stylistic dissonance. Prompts that are too closed block the players from participation.
With that being said, some of the choices were more popular than others.
- In all three sessions, the players chose to have a slow ship.
- In all three sessions, the players would have chosen to have a restricted area on the ship. The third session was with friends and I didn't allow that choice, for my variety, so they had an ecosystem instead.
- In the first two sessions, the Scientist became quite religous.
Maybe give each player character a prompt that adds a location or system to the ship, instead of the one about ship equipment.
I could see these types of prompts being useful for other games, as a way to set the style and setting.
Cheers, Jim
