This month is so packed for me that these dispatches are just going to feature the bare minimum amount of progress I need to justify sending a newsletter. And that’s OK. Wait, that’s better than OK. That’s great! That’s why I set this thing up in the first place.
Here’s what I had time for:
Steam Thieves
(Steampunk x Forged in the Dark, Ashcan here [link])
Effect
In Steam Thieves and the Soaring Metropolis, you achieve goals by taking actions and facing consequences. But how many actions does it take to achieve a particular goal? That depends on the effect level of your actions. The Operator judges the effect level using the profiles below. Which one best matches the action at hand—great, standard, or limited? Each effect level indicates the questions that should be answered for that effect, as well as how many segments to tick if you’re using a progress clock.
That’s all folks! OK, now to study, clean-up, write a sumo newsletter, file my HST return, pick up my kid, get started on dinner…
