We get into how Blades handles conflict, my audio/video set up (I use a player facing computer monitor to display images as well as the clocks, and I also play music that fits the scene), and I tell the story of Nihilistic Jeff Bridges to demonstrate that the clocks do not represent hit points but are an obstacle to be overcome.
