The GM needs to frame the player into decisions that are consequential for the mechanics. I’m bad at explaining how to do this because...

I'm not sure what you mean here re: "attentive to consequences and currency." The way I've worked around this is to have strong...

Is this just my general ignorance of BW's ideosyncracies here? I pulled out my copy of Mouse Guard, if we're talking about...
