[Danger Patrol] Conflict Resolution with Cards

[W Alexander]

By the way, John .. I know nobody likes a nag .. but any chance we'll see a playtest package up on the Shooting Iron board in the near future?  Sky Captain is only a month and a half from hitting the theatres and I know people will be eager to experience the genre themselves afterwards.

Each Style and Role will have a list of sample Traits to get you started. The idea is for players to invent their own, but creating stuff in a vacuum can be tough.

The idea of enhancements is an interesting one. I think this can be handled in the current system by simply adding another Trait. So, you might have "Atomic Heat Ray" as a Trait and also "Overcharge". You could draw bonus cards from your heat ray and then even more from the overcharge to represent "armor-piercing" or whatever.

Stacking traits like this lets a player really specialize a character if they want to. The player of a Commando could take "Aim", "Expert Marksman", and "Trigger Happy" if they wanted, giving them a huge resource pool to draw from when using a gun.
