As a player

What my tables are like

I run for six strangers in four hours, and I want all six to leave with something they didn’t expect.

There are physical components, and they matter — you will hold things, and what you do with them will change the game. There is combat, and there is talking, and the talking usually turns out to be the dangerous part. If you have never played the system, that is fine; I will get you playing in ten minutes. If you have played for thirty years, I will still surprise you. Everyone gets a moment. That is the whole job.
