Synner made a post that got me wondering. Rather than hijack the equivalent of a semi-truck load of fresh dung I figured I'd start a new thread and include a poll. To kick it off here is a cross-thread partial quote from Synner followed by my question to him. I'd love to here from other people too of course. Feel free to toss in related info too like how often you award bonus Edge refresh points, as mentioned on page 68.
That does sound like a pretty slow refresh rate, and the value of Edge is highly dependant on refresh rate. About how many hours at the table would you say that On The Run accounted for? We are refreshing every session, with 5-6 hour sessions in which we can complete smaller arcless runs. Edge is still definately a factor, but I wouldn't say dominating. I do find myself tightly rationing my 6 points all the way through. But then I seem to have a knack for rolling Glitches. What are the odds on rolling a 12 die Glitch again? ;) Maybe time to buy a new set of dice. :| The biggest issue I would expect with a really a low Edge refresh is spirit Edge, although the GM can control that somewhat since they are NPCs. What have you seen in that regard? Also do you allow a permanent Edge burn if they have used up all their Edge points already? |
