I only get to GM for a couple of hours a week. I’d hate that to involve narrative grinding. Although it’d be fair for a character to do it during downtime.

That’s a great way to encourage players to try things, and move the game forward despite failure.

That’s a really nifty mechanic. I haven’t played CoC, but this seems like yet another reason to try it.

What was once nerd is nerd no longer, but as the wheel turns, what was nerd will be next once again.

We’re early adopters. By definition: we’re nerds.
