Tara will be playing Fisherman Frank, aged 58. He loves fish more than people, but doesn't mind the company of Bitty the Barkeeper. Moved up from Newcastle to get away from the other fishermen, and was given a cottage by the Wheelers 10 years ago to get a local fishing industry going. Frank also has a black and white cat called Jess, that Bitty has a soft spot for.

Phaedra will be playing Dr Pamela Blossom, an unshakably organised and procedural person, somewhere on the autism spectrum, with long, naturally red hair. Dr Blossom is a statistician.

Her family heritage can be traced back to Charity Blossom in the 1500s. Her cousin, Barnabas B. Blossom, will go on to found Riverdale in 1941 .

Dr Blossom is in town conducting a research project. The influx of soldiers with "shell shock" led to early psychiatric studies, including studies in 1915–1918 analyzing mental health conditions among soldiers. The town has lost a significant number of men in a single incident during the war, and is somewhat isolated. Ideal for study using close observation and statistical methods. Surely no one would object?

I like FFG's approach best, but nevertheless, after one campaign with a force user, I banned those classes from my games.

I am unsure what has the best treatment, I have not played Force and Destiny and I do not remember much about the force people in WEG, other than they were pretty toned down which I think makes sense.

So I can't say what would be different if I designed my own subsystem. But say if it was the high republic or something, I would not worry about balance with other "classes" once you started to get out of the padawan stages, I would make it cool and fun and with rules to use.

I've forgotten a game twice. The first time it was because my spreadsheet hadn't been properly updated, and I sold a game I had already sold. The second time, I just forgot, plain and simple. It was on my list, I got it off the shelf, laid it on the table and it never made it into my bins. Other stuff has happened, people took their game and never paid, there was a hole in something I bought I wasn't notified of beforehand, etc etc etc. Sometimes my fault, sometimes the other person. And 99% of the time, we just sort it out because at the end of the day, it's just games. I think the majority of us here are engaged with this in good faith, and we aren't going to be unreasonable. That's why we keep coming back.

Q We should ban the people that don't show A- Emergencies and life happen it's not a perfect system.... on the Normal 5-10% either the seller or buyers don't show. Even the game is forgotten.... Mistakes happen live with it.

True, but if there is a pattern of a seller (or a buyer to a lesser extent) not showing up, that is likely a case of "The game I sold didn't go for as much as I wanted, so screw the buyer!" Those sellers should be noted, at least.
Also, if you legit can't make it, the onus is on you to communicate that to the buyer/seller, and make arrangements to do it later.

Hard to police this.. This also happens with the I couldn't find the game. it's frustrating but it happens. Happened to me one time when I tried to get royals. I mark it up to things that just happen.

Definitely had a couple of those cases where the person magically "forgot" the one game I bought off of them that was a real "too good to be true" bargain, but a) there's no way to prove they did it on purpose, and b) even if they did, as long as I'm not screwed out of money, I don't really care. This is all just for fun.

Exactly. If you're selling here to make a profit, you are in the wrong forum, maybe even the wrong hobby; these aren't Jordans.
