I’ve run a lot of Blades too and the character sheets still find ways to surprise me. Last week’s S&V session involved “oh you have grenades on your sheet? Oh, everyone has grenades on their sheet?”

I don’t know about you all, but downtime makes me feel more wiped than actual jobs/scores. My group doesn’t linger on their downtime actions, I think that’s part of it, and I always feel like I want to make a “real session” out of downtime because we don’t have enough time each night to run a downtime with a score.

I also feel there’s an underlying current when I run where I’ll be second-guessing myself the entire time. Am I modeling this particular situation the best I could with the tools the game gives me? Would a clock work better here? What kind of clock? Is it better to do it in one roll? It’s kind of like Fate for me that way, where there’s a bunch of ways to get to the end and you’ll always wonder if it would’ve been more fulfilling to do it this other way.
