hijaacks the thread
DON!!! Long time no see! Then again, I haven’t heard from Pat and Ryan either. You might remember me as that “weird filipino guy playing a Ranger/Barbarian/Fighter/Cleric multiclassed character”.
Anyway… back to the thread.
I suspect if everyone is satisfied with the results of “winning” all the time it is probably due to compromises not being levied or discussed well enough.
I kinda asked that question in the other thread (in Lockhaven). I’m not certain it got answered. Here’s some quotes and references:
to arrest vs. to get away (winner was injured and it led to chase)
I have to agree with Luke … those results look a bit weird. Do you remember if they were minor/major compromise? I hope you don’t mind if I ask for more details. Conflicts and compromises are one of the more interesting mechanics in the game, and it would be great to see a variety of examples.
I assume the winner in all these conflicts used “A/A/A” … who was the winner in each conflict, the GM or the players?
“Arrest” vs “Get Away” … I’m wondering why this wasn’t framed as a chase conflict in the first place. I’m guessing the Arresters won, and the compromise was that a few of the run-aways were arrested and a few were able to get away … I’m not quite sure if I would have allowed a follow-up twist of yet-another-chase-conflict.
“Catch Opponent” vs “Get to King” … I’m guessing the Catchers won, and the compromise is that the opponent almost got to the King. Depending on how significant “getting to the king” was, the Catchers must have been giving a major compromise?
“Frame an Innocent” vs “I am Innocent” … winner didn’t lose any disposition … I’m curious, what actually happened? One side roll no successes?
“Kill” vs “Kill” … winner is injured … and what? If you check the rules on mousie death (p. 130), even a minor compromise can allow the loser to do “one last act”. What did the loser get out of this compromise?
