Bill, I am intrigued by this idea of this model. In one "round" essentially you play out what would amount to an entire battle in one series of contests. Or...

I'd like to take this opportunity to plug 1) the Rare Artifact stunt -- a very good basis for talismanic magic, and 2) the simplified mythos magic rules...
I was just using an example of the Transforming magic based on how far I've gotten in the SOTC rules(Just reached the GM section).Given how much leeway players...
Plus if the Witch is a PC and the Boy an NPC with only 1 stress box you don't need a prolonged contest.Using the rules in SOTC she could change every member of...

As long as it's a real conflict, I think that's fine. Perhaps my mind has been poisoned by Landon, but I'm pretty against one bad dice roll taking out a...
I think I've been poisoned by too many RPGs where one bad roll of the dice or one great roll of the dice on the GM's part has taken me out. In a group dynamic...
A few questions about skills and stunts related to tracking/navigation So under the description of the Survival skill, it says it includes tracking. But under...

I ran into the issue of a character acting and resolving their action first and then wanting to move 1 zone. At that point I could have retroactively assigned...
Would they have still have shifts left over if they decided afterward they wanted to move a zone? If so, sure, let them do it. If not, tell them they'd have...
