Michael Prescott oh yeah, the progression of everyone’s Shadow weakness is terrific tech that leverages TOR’s Trait system, which is also terrific tech. And of course it’s all predicated on the Hope/Shadow economy, which is great too.

It’s hard to express how strong those parts of the design are and how nicely they all come together. It doesn’t read that way on the page!

Since we’re just now passing through a “generation” of characters, this is new territory for me as well. Nobody is anyone’s son/daughter, and that’s too bad, but damned if I can see any PC surviving say 18-20 years of play. I do kind of wish they were actual generations, though. I think that’d be interesting. We never could keep the game going long enough in KAP, either.
