The “hotness signal of any given moment and the through line of overall play will be significant (with you having a toggle to amp it up or turn it down).”It might look like this if you mapped it out:* Player build = Hotness* Scene-framing = Hotness dependence* Player decision-space = Hotness lens* Player move = Acting on Hotness or not* Move result = If Acting on Hotness, apt to achieve “Hotness-related gamestate and fiction change with or without strings attached (which you would then resolve via Hotness or not).”[HR][/HR]It’s about the play, the action, the inputs and outputs. Looking at your sheet may or may not “bring the Hotness alive” to you (particularly if your orientation to the way the game encodes “Hotness” when written on a sheet is askew for one reason or another…kind of like how some people couldn’t grasp the thematic and tactical potency of a 4e Fighter utterly dominating the melee based on their integrated Defender suite sitting on a character sheet…but the play sure as hell bore it out!). But the play sure as hell will bear it out!</blockquote>
