This maybe better shows how the nine outcomes are a continuum, shifted up or down depending on which roll you make. So it goes:
- Critical Success
- Full Success
- Success with a Cost
- Failure
- Critical Failure
And three of those are in play for…
By my count, we need NPCs for guild members:
- Sanctum
- Leechcraft
- Veil
From @rich @trevis @wptunes ?
We need Rep/Ward/Sitch? (I voted Professional/Ambitious/Strange for rep, we got two people liking Six Towers for Ward, and I still like sitch…

"I'm up here."
I'm perched casually on the edge of an old billboard, feet dangling in space, back against this giant picture of some white dude in a suit and a cheesy smile. It's probably twenty-thirty feet down. A flip and a graceful dive,…
The camera is following a battered minitruck zooming across the frozen surface of Lake Michigan. Even at this distance, it's obvious that the truck is far from factory original. It's rigged up with mismatched treads, a radio beacon on a large whip a…
Hey, I'm reading the Guild booklet and this jumps out at me: "When you add a talent, add a name and look to the guild roster to characterize that element of the guild."
So it sounds like we're making up NPCs for each circled talent, is that so?
Oh…
Sounds cool, as I'm sure we can add salt as needed.
But we are going to have cool arcane stuff, right? Don't skimp on the special effects (within reason)?
My instinct is to treat those as dials. On a scale of 1-5:
Grit - Cinema : 2
Grit - Fun : 3.5
So yes grit! But clear moments of cinematic and lightheartedness.
From Hadden:
I'm lost in Silica for a delicious moment. Her ass in my hands, her legs and arms wrapped round me. That kiss, fire from the icewalker. I'm almost drunk on her. I catch the faintest smell of something, of someone... but whatever. She's…
From Hadden:
Silica.
She's been hurt before. She's been hurt recently. And here she is... coming to me again. Seems like we pull each other out of holes all the time. Her answer, raw and honest, maybe the second most open she's ever been, and I'm …
From Hadden:
My mouth involuntarily quirks and I head over, drawn. "You know I want you, marshmallow." She's freelance, she says.
I'm close. I put my hand on the back of her cool neck and kind of cup her head, keeping her blue blue eyes on me. A l…
From Hadden:
I make an angry noise between my teeth. Not liking the thought of the place blowing up with mom and Lashfight in there, baby or no baby. But I get my shit together. And Rossi's nonsense about keeping people alive is pissing me off. Not…
From Hadden:
Watching Jester and Rossi, happy, makes me think not of Silica or K2 or Tindy, but of Lashfight. One part of my expression crumples and I look away from everyone, quiet. Ready to go.
