[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8988920, member: 82106"] Revolutionary concept, its a threaded message base, you post, others reply! Well, the OP actually goes on to talk about what the scene does, or or doesn't, do. In fact the TITLE OF THE THREAD actually describes that. [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] talks about the actions of the PCs and describes how the RM rules don't really tell him how to handle things, and as a consequence how the scene turns out to be fairly anti-climactic.
