The Dread Geas of Duke Vulku worked great in the Ravenloft setting. Beforehand the Ravenloft thing was just an excuse to run a dirty hippy game at an D&D event, but after I rolled up 3 encounters with heavy themes of youth, skin and pain I realized that maybe Vulku is a cursed Darklord on an everlasting quest to reach the tome-tomb...

1. In #InvisibleEmpire  you have as many Favor (~Motif) cards as there are players, but you must discard one of them when a character receives a black mark of displeasure. When rolling you have around 25% chance for this if I'm right.

Because of this rule our session was extremely quick, around 25 minutes long. We greatly enjoyed it but had little time to explore our ideas and characters. Did we use the rules correctly? One player mentioned that it would be really cool if a black mark would only discard the last slot in the last Favor card. I'm not sure. I also realize that the session would be longer if we'd have more then 3 players. What do you think?

2. The kids in my class loved #SorceressBloodySorceress  and they wanna play more! I realized that in Judgement phase it is important to point out to the sorceress player that the order of her questions determines the probability of being the guilty guest:
0: ~17%
1: ~28%
2: ~22%
3: ~17%
4: ~11%
5: ~05%

3. Also I had a fun last night with a plain no-hackie  #SwordsWithoutMaster session. Oh, the joy of playing a magic user and describing spellcasting without rules restrictions is priceless!

I've wanted to make a game about a silent emperor for a long time!

I've wanted to make a game about a silent emperor for a long time! And now  #InvisibleEmpire  is here. And it's awesome! (awful?)

But i need some help:
> Page 27 says: 'when you have the dice you have the opportunity to reincorporate a Favor or a Secret.'
> Page 28 says: 'You need not roll the dice to reincorporate and may do so while answering a loaded question from another player’s testimony.'

How to interpret these? When I answer loaded questions I dont have the dice, right?
