[QUOTE="zakael19, post: 9847412, member: 7044099"] 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 player-goals that we're driving play towards. Then when I frame a situation out, the players can make action statements that push the scene towards what they're looking for, and when I need to set stakes I do so before a roll and we reframe after. I ran low prep/myth (but not no-myth, I need some scaffolding to hang my GM hat on and get excited about or I fizzle out) Tales of the Valiant like that - using a Skill Challenge structure to frame out the conflicts en-route to goals. Worked great: obtained players goals; framed scenes; roll dice; resolved. Risks were framed before any rolls were made as well. No "causality" issues, because we simply weren't doing stuff like "I roll perception to see if there's a trap" but instead me going like, "yeah, you see a chest right where you were told it would be - surely the Gem of Zulimar you're seeking is in there! But there's a fiendish set of runes all about, clearly some sort of trap. What do you do?" [/QUOTE]
