Reports of the Deep One's survival are considered to be premature. (Post is updated; no further narration happens.)CirclMastr posted:I've been really appreciative of the Brass Knuckle's 2 extra dice. I don't know if taking the kitchen knife would have been more effective for combat, but being able to leave it there certainly helped for action economy. I'm surprised. Every time I've had someone try to punch things before it hasn't exactly gone well. I'm not sure if it's just the app adjusting for the tutorial mission or what.

Oh, right, while I'm stuck at work this is a good time to check if the layout / map is working for people. Laid out in text, the intro scenario is more bare than I expected - later missions have more complex events / talky sections - but I think it's working okay.

My only issue has been getting Carson and William mixed up a lot. It might be worth including a character image with the Investigators section at the end?

I got lots of clues. Spend 1 clue to avoid 1 damage. I'll take the damage with the other. I'll set this as a standard CO. Until I have 2 or fewer clues, spend clues at a 1:1 rate to avoid damage(If it would cost me 2 more more clues to avoid a single point damage, take the damage instead). berenzen fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Feb 1, 2020 |
