I feel that its not too game breaking to make the demands of gaining AP less complicated (I like to give out rewards as much as possible, and giving the players more to spend in a Fellowship Phase seems a no-brainer to me). And I would aim to be an LM who permits as much as possible: rules need to be guides, not obstacles.
So, I think I will be relaxing those demands from RAW, but for all PCs of course. (It will be easier to explain AP gains too.)
I get the point about Courage being an accidental min/max opportunity: I should have seen it that way myself, so thanks for the observation.
I am now going to have to spend some time considering if inexperienced PCs would always pick up extra AP in this way to accelerate their Common Skills progression!

Thanks for hosting, Pyronik! ❤️ It's the first month I've managed to play a game every day and it's been fun!

It is a journaling game. It is only so dark as you made it. So for a 10 year old I would say it is not a problem. 7 year old, I don’t know. You need a lot of fantasy. Try a round by yourself and check afterwards, if you could play it with one of your kids.

This one has been on my radar for a while but I couldn't find a copy in the UK during the last 2 years of hunting it down... it will show up when it does. In the mean time enjoy it when you can play it, even if it is not before next week but please do share your thoughts with us when you do 😉

Does anyone object to me using GeekGold donated after the GeekList goes live to reward first-time wargame reviewers and/or people who write first reviews of vintage games? I'd love to encourage people to revisit older games that lack reviews (if there are such games out there).

Drafts are ready and have been sent to friendly eyes for preview, to make sure I haven't made any mistakes. Will definitely be going live on Sunday, after I proofread and review any feedback I receive.Does anyone object to me using GeekGold donated after the GeekList goes live to reward first-time wargame reviewers and/or people who write first reviews of vintage games?

Death by Lightning? Just saw something about it on Netflix and knew something about Garfield.
