First Game

[madmt1982 1]

I ran this for the first time tonight.  I thought it went pretty well, over all.  The players managed to avoid most of the danger through role playing and decision making, so we didn't see any big fights, but it was tense.

 

Personally I like the system as a nice, sit down game. I'm going to have to get more used to adding negative die to the characters pools, but that should come with practice.

 

If there is one area I wanted to get some feedback/advice on, it is the experience portion at the end.  The way I read the section was that a player comes up with a positive and negative feature, the group votes on it, and the player either adds the feature or increases/decreases the appropriate characteristic.  First time I read it I thought it was a fun way of doing it, but after our first session it seems sort of clunky.  There's no reason for the group to vote a negative feature or not to vote for a positive one.

 

I will fully admit I may be having an attack of dyslexia, but I've read the section a few times and I'm unclear on this.  And if I've missed something obvious, be gentle.

I am also having some confusion on how to do the "experience". I'd be interested in seeing how others have interpreted it.

I think the way the rules are written each player automatically gets one negative feature and one positive feature (which will increase/decrease an attribute if they already have that feature).

 

The only time a vote is needed is if the group can't decide between two or more positive features OR two or more negative features I.E. each player will still get one negative and positive feature per session but there may be a vote as to which positive feature and/or which negative feature to give them.

You only vote if there is a split on what a +/- feature should be.
