[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7985422, member: 42582"] The Advanced game (as it is labelled in the book) differs from the Basic game in four ways: PCs can start as something other than knights (in our game we had a squire, now knighted, and a travelling performer and tale-teller); there are more skills (which we use in our game); and each player can have a turn at being "storyteller" (= GM) under the superintendence of a chief storyteller; and there is the system of Storyteller Certificates and Gold Stars which are this RPG's version of player-side metagame/fiat abilities. In the book itself, taking a turn as a subordinate storyteller earns you a certificate, and the chief storyteller can also award certificates when the mood strikes, and any storyteller can award a Gold Star. I've attached a copy of the Certificate that I use, that as I said melds the two systems. I award a certificate when the mood strikes, probably once every two sessions or so. From memory Sir Justin's player has had one (Gold Star), Sir Gerran's two (he brought a hostile village over to the PCs' side, and made Sir Gerran's wife fall in love with him), Sir Morgoth's two (he killed Sir Lionheart in a joust, and he might still have his second) and Twillany's one (used to find the Bone Laird's old home). And another one that might also have been Twillany's (used to bring peasants onto the PCs' sdie in their assault on the Duke of Burgundy's castle). So that's seven that I remember in 12 sessions. EDIT: I was looking at an older session report for another reason and saw two more used of Kill a Foe in Combat. So that's at least nine, making it closer to 1 per session. [/QUOTE]
