This is more of a practical meat-space logistics question than something systems related, but how many copies of the core do you keep at your table during play?
I’m just wondering about this, since BW seems like a game that would benefit from having multiple texts to reference, at the very least during character creation, and I could swear I read somewhere once that multiple copies were almost needed. (Or maybe that was Burning Empires?)
So: Can a group get by on one copy and some of the play sheets? Or will we regret our miserly ways once things get underway?
It can be very slow going, especially in character burning, to only have one copy. Obviously, you can get by with just one copy (start-up games do it all the time) but in my opinion, the more the merrier!
