Has there been any breakthrough in how best to show who has the dice and how you pass them around in Hangout play?
I never seem to make it to Sunday AM Swords so please share your secret tech with me.

Something that blew my mind when I did ran Swords without Masters:
One of the phases in the game is the perilous phase. In this phase the GM will threaten the player characters with more and more threats that escalate quickly. The GM can not stop doing that. One of the players needs to take the dice and say "this phase is over now". You as a player can just decide that this is enough now and you want to do something else. My players didn't really pick up on that and I just realized it after a while. In some way this game still feels really trad just because you are doing classical sword and sorcery fantasy stuff. It also feels a bit like Dungeon World in that the GM is constantly making moves at you. So getting it into your mind that you as a player have the power and the responsibility to finally end that pressure can be really mindboggling I think.
I was literally sitting there and telling my players that they need to end this if they want me to stop. It took a while.

Is there any chance to get the City of Fire and Coin in an unformated way?
Is there any chance to get the City of Fire and Coin in an unformated way? I want to hack/adapt it but copying from the pdf document doesn't really work because of the 3 columns.

So this will be a playtest session.
No former knowledge of Swords or Guardians needed.

Trick Question:
Trick Question:
I want to write a trick for Rocket for my Guardians hack.
Now the most matching thing would be that he can create a Rogues phase with laying out a plan. Would that be enough? I kind of want the player to have a moment of saying
"We need this, that and the prosthetic eye of that guy there"
And the other players having to go get these things/follow the plan.
Is that too much? Is just activating rogues phase enough? Any idea on how to word that?

First time trying this:
First time trying this:
Peter Quill - Starlord
All that deserves a name:
Earth,
a planet of Outlaws
Super Awesome Mix Vol. 1, on a cassette and walkman
Milano:
his ship. Think Millenium Falcon but more shiny
Yandu and the Ravagers
Space Pirates, Thieves and Nomads. Would eat you.
Feats Heroic
Guardian: Starlord rallies everyone to keep fighting for this shit and they make a last heroic push.
Asshole: Recalls someone who still owns him and will get his head out of the noose
Trick of the Trade:
Something Good, Something Bad, a bit of booth
When you have done something heroic or douchey, you may explain your actual reason for doing it to flip everyone's perception to the opposite of their first reaction.

Rogue becomes Guardian.
Same for the phase.
Storm and thunder stay, lightning becomes shit .
Tones are Hero and A-Hole
The scenario will feature a planet no one thought existed.
