[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8347351, member: 16814"] I'm not certain you can elucidate what range I'm suggesting. Your response hasn't provided any counter to any of my points that lands. You've managed to insert an argument about the line between soft and hard moves, but that has nothing to do with my points at all, so it's mostly beating a straw-stuffed man. And your argument about the GM maintaining things vaguely isn't very good either. Specifically on this, your example of the letter is poor because it presents something that isn't being established in the fiction, and that's not how that's supposed to work. If you find a letter from the Trade Guild via Discern Realities option 'something useful' then it is useful in the fiction -- it's not a generic +1 asset, but instead a specific bit of useful information or detail that the player can then frame into their future actions. You shouldn't leave it as a generic +1 on future rolls, because that is not beginning and ending with the fiction. You're stepping outside the principles of play to create generic assets, which is not at all the intent of play -- nothing is generic in play. [/QUOTE]
