Quick question this time (hopefully):

What happens to unspent coin paid to PCs if they don’t spend it in the downtime after the score that earned it? Does it have to be converted to Stash if they don’t choose to carry it in to the next score? Or does it have to be stored with the crew’s Coin?

Who is where?

Is there a map or list anywhere for which gangs control/reside/operate in each of the districts (at the start of the game according to the book at least)?

I know each lists what properties they own and some have where they are (the three in Crow’s Foot for example), but it would be a really helpful reference sheet.

Our group is currently looking at possibly muscling in on the Nightmarket to increase turf around our lair, but I wasn’t sure canonically who would be there that we could take from.

I’m sure our GM already has ideas for us, I’m just trying to be proactive (and it’ll be helpful when I eventually start GMing).

Level 4 Harm

Just rereading the Harm rules and wanted to make sure I understand.

If you sustain level 4 harm, that’s fatal in all cases, right?

But if you suffer harm that rolls up to level 4 (because your level 3 harm box is already full), you might die, but equally, if the circumstances fit, you might instead be able to suffer a permanent physical disability of some kind. So it’s something akin to Trauma, but physical, like loss or limb, blindness, partial paralysis, need for a pacemaker, etc.

Is that basically it?

And once someone suffers level 4 and they aren’t killed off, I assume they’re removed from the scene in the same way as if they Trauma’d out, right?

(I guess theoretically, if you were unlucky enough to fill up all your level 1-3 harm boxes, you could hit level 4 with a level 1 harm, so having the option not to kill them outright is helpful there.)

Severos

I recently made my first character and, after toying with the idea of them being from the Dagger Isles, I eventually settled on Severos instead. I couldn’t find much in the book on the area or its people (from memory, about two paragraphs), so I made my own interpretation. I’ve decided that they are a trial people, with appearances similar to Maoris, extensive tattooing and all.

I know we have some very creative people in this community. What have your games decided about the Severosi and their wilds?

Just been reading the v8.1 setting descriptions for all the areas of Duskvol and it’s great. Excellent work John Harper. Quick question for you though; is there any particular reason why Dunslough is the only district that doesn’t have a special effect? All the others do (e.g. +1d to acquire assets but with +2 Heat) and I really like the way it gives a mechanical effect to the area which changes the feel, but Dunslough has been missed/snubbed.

For everyone else, who runs Tangletown in your games, and how do they keep order since violence is not allwed there?

Are Lady Thorn (p288, leader of the Deathlands Scavengers) and Sister Thorn (p299, vice purveyor in the Deathland Scavengers) different people or is that a mistake? Or is it up to us to decide?
