You can draw up plenty of similarities between alien abductions and fairy abductions - there's a switcheroo for unsuspecting players.

This was mine. It has grown to mean both "the GM actively pushes you into a single course of action" and "the plot of the adventure has no branches."

GURPS' combination of skill defaults (ie, letting one skill stand in for another at reduced efficiency), plus the way it charges more XP for more complex skills, colors my answer.

I had a player on a pbf game here pass away almost 20 years ago. I was able to figure out his real name and sent money to his family.

Here are some generalities: In horror games, and especially one-shots, where the PCs are often in the wrong place at the wrong time, I would not expect them to be exceptional. In a superhero game where protecting one's identity is an important facet of play, I would expect their secret...

Some things I'd say could indicate success include a second edition, a release schedule that does (or did) publish things when expected, and third party support.
