4 thoughts on “QQ: What’s up with the Wizards Intimacy move?”

  1. Yup. Just being close to the Wizard puts you in danger (and possibly encourages them to make bargains with dark and powerful entities just to keep the people they care about safe). It feels like a direct reference to The Dresden Files to me.

  2. I believe US has The Dresden Files as an inspiration. I think the intimacy move pushes for the way all of Harry’s friends inevitably get sucked into the trouble that swirls around him from being a person of power.

  3. It also encourages those suffering from intimacy move with Wizard to seek intimacy elsewhere.

    But I agree, intimacy moves are sometimes hard to understand, like why being intimate with Tainted makes you give them one of your debts …

  4. It’s funny. I feel like it’s a smattering of what some people’s complaints were about 4E D&D. Cool mechanics, made for a fun game (if that was what you were looking for), but you sometimes had to stretch to find the fictional justification for the game-balanced rule.

    Which is odd for a fiction forward system like US…
