It gives the players a lot of things to argue about. There were some great discussions about how the Cybe was using up his share of the cash and of switching the poor bugger off during downtime - something he really resented!<br />The way I'd handle stock speculation is through the side deal mechanic I think. Letting the players with business affairs skill find an investment opportunity and let them know the risk as some sort of% if they spend points on it. Maybe even let them use forensic accounting. Then roll the dice. This lets them use up the points at the expense of other things.<br />Anything that gives the player a sense of control but still chews up credits or skill points is good in my book.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921387967662542436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5633847128505945616.post-55010981122638955522014-06-26T19:45:54.325-07:002014-06-26T19:45:54.325-07:00It was an excellent game.

I think the NBA Thriller rules have potential to spice things up combat wise - we'll see how they work in the ToC game. A table of life events and unexpected costs would be cool - maybe add the opportunity to gamble a bit as well. Stock investments that could go up or down for instance.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517681852703418895noreply@blogger.com
