I don’t really like the system so I’m not that familiar with it. You can clarify stuff about position to clarify consequence, this happens in all role-playing though and it happens very frequently in all good role-playing.I throw the petrol bomb at them?To distract them?Hmm. No I want to burn them.Ok you can but going to blatant violence like this is going to make you a target for the police snipers on the roofsI assume some version of the above is continually happening.Blades has the whole devil’s bargain thing, which I dislike but I don’t think is negotiation over consequence. The reason I don’t like it is because I ALSO don’t like suggestions and mostly think games are better off without them. When it’s your turn, you do your thing and I don’t get a say.The two are related and can become the same thing but aren’t necessarily the same thing.Although if you’re mostly playing more traditional games it might not seem like a huge difference but I think clarifying these differences is important for people playing a lot of Narratavist games. Changing up some of the fundamental game structures can introduce really unfun and lame stuff unless you’re clear on what’s happening as regards reincorporation, blocking and authority.</blockquote>
