Should players describe some kind of fiction when they take stress?

Perhaps this has been covered, but is there a difference between items on the unshaded side of the items list as opposed to the shaded side?

“Every half-dead would-be crimelord pushing an oar on a prison hulk, every hanged fool, every cutpurse rotting in a sunless cell all have one thing in common, they were let down by the weak link in their crew. If you don’t have each other, you have nothing but an oar, a length of rope or a dank cell.”

What happens when PCs come to cross purposes?

What happens when PCs come to cross purposes? IE, two player characters want to grab the same gem, or even get in a fight?

Scores: I love d6 tables more than anything in RPG!

Scores: I love d6 tables more than anything in RPG!

What about these?

Work/Underworld: 6:Clear someone’s name

Troubles: Familiar Faces 1:Betrayed Friend 2:Old Enemy 3:Lover’s Revenge 4:Debt Collector 5:Family Ties 6:Forgotten Curse

As source of inspiration, I highly recommend The Originals, a TV series dealing with Vampires/Werewolves/Witches/Corrupt Politicans controlling the city of New Orleans.

Btw: on page 23, using the word “score” (negative score on the board) might be misleading within this game context.

Love the concept behind the Lampblacks, I think I found my second favorite faction.

Question here about PC advancement, I understand how to spend desperate move ticks for PC advancement, but I can’t find in the quickstarter when do you actually mark this thicks. Do you get them on each desperate move/roll you intend (my guess), each desperate move you succeed or you fail ?

I’ve some problem thinkin about the possible danger of an obstacle.

If the players have to deal with a complex lock to enter in a room (and not a trap, like the one in the example of play), which kind of danger can I create?

It can’t be “the lock brokes” because it will be to negate their victory.

It has to be directly connected with the obstacle or can be something else?

Ok, I’ve a question (maybe a silly question)

When the players roll for Gather information, they can choose any actions they like (that fit the fiction) or it’s a kind of special roll made without adding the action dots?
