Seth's Best?

 I'm a big admirer of Seth Skorkowsky. Guy is a font of wisdom and enthusiasm for the hobby.

Although I have enjoyed and profited from many of his vids, his latest on 6 rules to steal and use in other games is a real corker.

00:00 Intro 01:27 Bonus/Penalty Dice

Roll an extra die, take the better if there's a bonus, worst if there's a penalty.

02:41 Inspiration

Do something cool, get an Inspiration point. Can be used as a bonus die on a roll, also may be given to other players. Doesn't roll over to other sessions.

04:14 Pushed Rolls

After a non-combat failed roll, can reroll at the risk of a complication (ie stopped by police), Must describe what they do differently.

05:51 Connections Rule

Two times, each PC can flashback to a memory that gives a skill bonus (ie + 10%). Can be used for NPCs.

09:18 Relation Inspiration

Characters have relations with others (1 = superficial, 2= close, 3 = intimate) that gives them a bonus when fighting for (or penalty when against) their acquaintance.

11:46 Talking & Analysis Phase

Each round of combat / duel, remark on a weakness of or psyche out a foe then roll initiative & fight with that bonus.

13:46 Story Points

(Modified Inspiration) get max 3, carried over in one shots even if characters change.

15:04 Closing
