It wasn't a totally blank slate -- there are factions and sites etc -- but yeah, I think you are right. I was hoping to split the...

The trick with player-driven gaming is to make sure the PCs each have several really solid, specific, and actionable goals baked in...

So a couple things for clarity: The players all know that the goal is to be high teens before confronting the Usurper. This was...

In my con game I made sure to use adversaries that generate Fear when PCs failed reaction rolls. That helped bolster my ability to use...

For the record I have a 6 player group as well... I've noticed this and it helps but there are alot of abilities that don't need 3 hope...
