Keith Stetson that point is equally legit: I wish there was a faster way to get at the situational richness. I don’t love the hour-or-so of setup either. But pregens and set situations don’t work for me, personally.

Jason Morningstar has produced a couple of terrific, smart situation/r-map type playset things for Sagas of the Icelanders and damned if I can make them work for me. The one time I tried, I feel like I spent more time explaining the connections than if we’d just invented the connections ourselves, and enjoyed all the authorship that goes with it. But that’s on me; I assume I’m missing necessary skills to make those playsets work.
