[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5467310, member: 957"] Absolutely 100% correct. It is a DIFFERENT Rome, but everyone should pick the Rome they find fun and there is no case to be made that this isn't fun. Wait, did it remove the "I win" button or did it never exist? Which is it? It is about narrative. Even if I intend for one action to never be able to solve a problem, the players may think of something more clever. And, more importatantly, even if the situation TRULY can't be solved in one action the narratibe should control that process. There is a fundamental difference between having that outcome manadated by narrative based flow and by having it mandated by counting check marks. If DM's work the way you suggest, then if a really good "I win" solution is brought up, then the DM should immediately discard the SC. If SCs are in place as a contingency and that get tossed frequently, then that is a lot less bad. Of course, why not just toss them altogether in that case? [/QUOTE]
