I’m relatively new to Blades, only GMing about a 1/2 dozen scores. I do wonder if I’m being ‘too easy’ on my PCs though. No one has a trauma yet. There’s only been 1 or 2 scores that everyone was near maxed out on stress. They’ve been cunning and afforded bringing much attention to their activities so few story complimcations…
1/. How many challenges/clocks to overcome/rolls would you typically see in a given score? (if a typical score exists).
2/. When do you choose to bring in story consequence stuff into the PC’s lives (i.e. framed a minor noble for a crime. When would you have his revenge come knocking)? Free play? Start of a game session? During a score?
3/. I assume life complications begin snowballing as the campaign runs. Perhaps I’m too worried at this point?
