[City of Brass] No cannibalism yet

Nice.  I like. 

The Leader of course wouldn't deny his followers food.  Wine on the other hand ... I'm certain the Leader has the party's best interests at heart.

Ooh! Important!

Although I understand the textual distinction between Game Chef entry and GenCon booklet, I'm still not sure the intended play-rule ... when a given obstacle is confronted, should we be using the listed abilities as the only abilities that are eligible to overcome the obstacle?

I really hope the answer is "yes." We've been playing by the written rules of the GenCon booklet, but having now played as non-Leader, Companion, and Leader, I hope that the earlier textual version is the intended way to play, for this particular rule.

Clinton, what's the word on that?

Best, Ron

Ron,

Glad you asked. I didn't want to say "I fucked up" earlier, but it seems I did. I really support the idea that the listed ways are the only way to overcome the obstacle.

I seem to recall that the original Game Chef text says something about using alternate abilities in a conflict would be possible if they are used creatively.  So if we have a single party member who has been abandoned with an obstacle, does he have the opportunity to use an alternate, i.e., non-threatened, ability when in conflict with said obstacle?  If this is possible, who gets to ok the use of an alternate ability?

The Leader is who it was, although I'd change it, actually. I'd say that if the Leader wants to say no, he has to take a vote.
