Scum & Villainy/Forged in the Dark feedback

Randomly, Rob Donoghue has thoughts on Stress: http://walkingmind.evilhat.com/2019/03/06/stress-is-best/

I agree with all those things. Stress is one of the few mechanics I didn’t rename for WITCH.

I don’t think reading the Gauntlet is helping. From this thread, asking “how do you handle flashback actions and the risk of harm or death”:

And why not die? Begs the question who this Doppelgänger in the present is… a consequence now all players at the table know but none of the characters are privy to. Imagine the awesome questions and the fiction that follows from there!

That’s way too indie for me, I think.
