But yeah, the timer is only supposed to be for this zoomed in situation. Why would you try to be dreadful and build anticipation with a torche when players are for days in an underground maze. They probably need to have giant stack of torches anyway.hm, Flux space is a tool for a very specific design space, Torch timer is also a tool, Shadowdark is a full system. I don't operate like that I think - I choose system first. Then when I have a large, mazelike, samey structure in my game where I can see classic exploration rules falter, I might replace the classic exploration with flux exploration. But I don't need to replace the full system. Just remove torch timer and done that. The moment you maybe need the exploration back because maybe there is not just a small point of interest but a larger section of "zoomed in" exploration - you bring it back. I don't see the reason to be strictly mutually exclusive here. I think Shadowdark is flexible enough for that. I mean most games have some sort of subsystem or tool that will get to be "turned off" when using these flux space rules.</blockquote>
