G-goodnight, chaobot! Have a good recharge

I've now listened to the first 3 segments!

https://averylychee.neocities.org/doctor-who/audio-guide/

I'm also now ready to listen to all the subsequent segments up to segment 9, so.... exciting!

Listened to "The Choice", which is one of the fan made spin-offs.

It... wasn't as good as I hoped. In several scenes, I was rather confused as to what was actually happenning, and the tone kept rapidly switching back and forth between "comical" and "intensely dark".

@00dani I believe it's the most "crunchy" game in my collection, so do be warned of that

@00dani something I like about Burning Wheel is that whenever a roll is made, the GM explicitly has to tell the player what the consequence of failing is BEFORE the player rolls anything, giving the player a chance to change their mind.

@00dani oh yeah, in play I encountered several situations where I came up with a "success with a cost" that the player thought was a failure, and that meant we had to negotiate what they were actually trying to do in the first place.

And while that happenned more frequently than it did in other games (mostly because other games don't have partial successes), my AW players were much more willling to point out when I made a mistake than other people I've played with.

@00dani I think "getting detected but immediately killing the person who detects you before they can sound an alarm" still counts as success in the task of "infiltrating into the compound without alerting everyone"

If this was a video game, yeah, that would break your "ghost the level" achievement, but the character's still achieving the goal.

@00dani I can't find that first example, but that second one was trying to be "you can still sneak into the *camp*, but you have to kill this kid to do it".

from experience, though: it is very easy to turn a "success with a catch" into "a less-crappy failure"

@00dani @nightpool@cybre.space I guess it's highlighted a bit more with moves like "go aggro", where the GM decides if the NPC gives in to the player's demands or takes the harm
