I'm pretty sure that's Shadowdark at the mo.

It's more a FitD thing I think, that's where get things like the specific downtime phase and the scouting and approach stuff before a score.

A different set of considerations have to deal with genre. Some games, like dungeon crawl games for example, have very clearly definable...
