[Mud Dragon] "I am Ancient Belly, Ruined of Parades!"

<< < (2/2)

Ben Lehman:
Hi.

In the new draft, Petty Greed starts at 14.

I'm also considering reversing Petty Greed's effects on screwing up completely and throwback. So Mud Worm is more such a buzzkill that he doesn't even want to do the plan.

Ron Edwards:
Possibly uninformed notions based on reading only:

1. "Fighting amongst one another" sounds like an emergent phenomenon to be enjoyed as such, rather than something to insert into the prep as a feature of opposition. Or to put it another way, all the other stuff in the Opposition list are things the GM imposes, whereas this is something the players would do.

2. Although I do like Throwback being more possible/accessible, it seems to me that having it occur at both ends of a mud dragon's competence scale is a little unsatisfying in thematic terms. However, I could be wrong. As you can tell from this paragraph, I kinda go back and forth on this issue, no pun intended. A playtesting issue for sure.

3. Petty Greed seems to have been a sticking point throughout the history of the game's design and play. Does it really need to be in the game at all? And if it does, perhaps it (or something named differently) should be re-designed from the ground up so it stops being this "except for Petty Greed which works the other way" phenomenon.

Best, Ron
