So, i brought this up once again in a thread about essence and i got curious.
What are your experiences? Does it happen at all? When/where does it happen if at all? How circumstancial is it? Is the BGC Table being used and if so, why is there no BGC of 1 or 2 in almost everystreet of a Megaplex and what is the justification for that? Have you been fucked over by sudden BGC aside from the BGC creating spells? How so? How do you deal with BGC? ALL EDITIONS WELCOME |
