And again, they asked for this.Mark Langsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301984145275679568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1287550692312955328.post-37398097309638695932015-12-17T17:33:41.259-08:002015-12-17T17:33:41.259-08:00I forgot to say that visions, dreams, weird ghostl...I forgot to say that visions, dreams, weird ghostly visitations, etc. are a great way to give out-of-game information in-game.

The 14+ fails cap on rolls doesn't make them especially happy either. But I think this is balanced by the fact that every time we've had them come up, the results have been really amusing.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.com
