That's all. It's frustrating to have a comparison given, not explained, and then given again.I understand that's not a literal comment adventure design, I just thought it was a bad example.When you mean included, do you mean taking it out or that within a campaign game it generally just doesn't appear as much of an obstacle because conditions generally allow you to bleed it off in a way that it never builds up, thus never reaching the heights of what the system is intended?I mean, I assume the latter. To which, I suppose a longer campaign game is meant to be in contrast to the terrifying big crisis events, though the Marine Campaign book gives a decent amount of scenarios to hit those thresholds. Obviously those don't really work for space truckers, but maybe they'll expand on that later on. I can think of easy ways of maintaining long-term stress within the system, like having a corporate investigation of your actions hanging over your head meaning you can't bleed off two stress until the situation is resolved, but that's currently in a rule.Again, I think definition within the skill system is really a larger issue. That's something that can maybe get filled in with talents, but we'll see what the next release looks like.Nor did I say it explicitly says this, but the scenario is designed as a starter and the way the Observation checks are done seems clearly made to get people rolling dice quick. I find it as an implicit part of the design, to get people into the mechanics quickly rather than roleplaying out the preamble of things.lolOdd. I don't remember where I said it'd be a terrible game, just not for me. But I suppose we both can imagine intent <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.I feel like the problem you describe of requiring narrative massaging in results should really apply regardless of situation. You can be a badass-under-fire 6 success person or a complete flop whether or not you are in cinematic or campaign mode, right? Or is your critique on that solely limited to a longer-term campaign game?</blockquote>
