More doubts. This time The Onomastic.
The basic move seems a little difficult to use IMO. You need to gather components, what might take several seasons, to just roll once. I have been considering adding one more option:
– Keep one component.
This way you could choose to be less effective to retain some of the ability to repeat on the same individual.
Would that break something? Maybe I am just being to harsh with the gathering of components. I just feel difficult to keep gathering more and more personal details on the same person. Could you provide several examples of ‘major life events’, that is how components are defined in the playbook?
Forgot to ping you here too, Fraser Simons
I’d treat it like the child thing in AW 2.0, however they want to gain components they can really. It’s just significant life events, what’s to say they can’t find that information in The Veil, getting to know someone, looking around their home. Things like that. If it’s an NPC I pretty much always let them Lift the Veil and get a component.
In a hybrid reality, you should be able to find something about someone, and if they miss, that says something about the person they’re trying to find out about, perhaps.
Keeping a component word probably need some explanation within the fiction for why that is, but I think it’s a pretty powerful move. They should have to work for it.
