Yes, that works fine

Geezer - are you asking me (or the NPCs) about setting a trap, or is that more just for you and Rosie to ponder?

Geezer definitely wants some advice from the NPCs, if they have any to offer.

I feel like this is where compelling Full Speed or Nothin' would kick in - I know we didn't exactly define this at the start, but I'm understanding that as a "dive into risky situations head first" kind of aspect.  And this is a risky situation waiting for someone to dive into it.  Geezer, agree or disagree?

Agreed 100%.

Alright, so that's the compel then - Geezer volunteers to be the bait (with or without disguise), and gets 1 Fate Point for his troubles.

I just added a line for Fate Points to my character sheet.

What do you think Geezer - wrong approach, or success but with negative consequences?

I’d prefer the latter, if it’s up to me.

So it shall be...

I'm back to thinking that I'm almost done writing everything for this game and can shift into layout/publishing mode.  Before I get there, do you guys have any comments about the rules?  Anything you'd want to see added, removed, clarified?

Nothing springs to mind.

Okay, cool, thanks.

Nothing from me either.

Roger that.

It occurs to me that we've been going nonstop this whole time, all in one "session."  Since that does affect some things in the Fate system, let's call this a session break.  If either of you have fewer than 3 fate points, you refresh back up to 3 now.  And I don't think that either of you have any "once per session" abilities but if you do then those are now reset.

Also, thinking about this idea that you had a plan and it went poorly, I think I want to give that some mechanical weight.  Think about how your character would be affected by this and then give yourself a temporary Aspect related to that - Plagued by Self-Doubt is the first idea that comes to mind for me, but maybe you have something different that fits.  The important thing is that it's predominantly negative.  This Aspect will stick with you until you've put some good effort into making up for your mistakes, at which point it will be replaced by a more positive temporary Aspect that lasts until... I'm not sure yet, we'll see what makes sense at that time.  How does this sound to you guys?

Makes sense to me.  I'll call my negative aspect, 'Going through changes'.  Sort of a third-life crisis.

I'll take? Plagued by Self-Doubt.

Geezer, you clearly win the prize for fitting in song lyrics as much as possible :)

Thanks.  Although maybe I should apologize for referencing Led Zeppelin in a Black Sabbath-based campaign.

The game started with Sabbath, but it's hardly limited to them.  I'm never going to say no to Zeppelin even if they insist on saying no to being associated with metal.

They said that?

Plant has, at least.  I don't remember where I heard it and I'm having a little trouble tracking down a specific source, but yeah.

I'm also suddenly remembering a documentary I saw years ago that mentioned a time when Zeppelin and Sabbath both happened to be recording in the same studio, so they took a break and jammed together, and no one thought to record that.  It makes me so very sad.

MAN That would have been awesome to hear!
