These optional rulescan add further complexity to the game, so Keepers shouldcarefully consider their inclusion before committing to usingthem in play.OPTIONAL: FINE-TUNING LUCKSome groups may prefer a lower level of pulp, wishing torestrict Luck expenditure. Some options are suggested belowfor Keepers wishing to fine-tune their games and lessen therole of Luck spending in the game to some extent.• Restrict the amount of Luck points that can be spent toadjust a skill or characteristic roll. Where normally thereis no limit, Keepers may prefer setting a maximum limitof 10 or 25 points to affect any one roll (decreasing themargin of success).• Don’t allow Luck spending to avoid weapon fumbles ormalfunctions, or increase the cost to 25 Luck points.• Don’t allow Sanity losses to be decreased through Luckspends, leave only the Resilient talent to afford such mentalinvulnerability.• If outlandish escapes from certain death don’t appeal toyou or your group, forgo the Avoiding Certain Death rule</blockquote>
