At the table it was not fixed. In the fiction it had been fixed ever since the runes were written. They could, and they did. Similarly...

Yes, the play of MHRP/Cortex+ Fantasy that I described would be characterised by @AbdulAlhazred as narrativist play. It is pretty light...

But it's only because of the failure to drive. As were all the other consequences I posted. It's not independent; it's a direct result.
