Hey JC,

2/ When a Minion commits villainy, there seems to be no mechanical difference between a tie and a failure. We decided to have the Minion try again differently, in case of a tie.

When the Villainy was driven by a Command, the mechanical difference is that the Minion has made a roll and so is no longer obligated to continue pursuing the Command. But otherwise, yes, the outcome directs the narrative; when I run the game I follow a double-jeopardy rule (i.e. the Master doesn't re-issue the same command).

Last question: has anyone played MLWM GM-less? Does it lead to conflicts of interest? If so, can they be resolved with using an antagonist-system comparable to that of Polaris? And does it lead to a less consistent Master persona?

Can't help you there. I've never played it GM-less. I think you have the right concerns though.

Tour de France. Heh, I certainly wouldn't think of such application

Don't think that Commands and player scene requests are what determines which dice rolls happen. The narrative determines what dice rolls need to happen. If a loyal sheepdog defends a Connection, then that's a Violence roll for the minion.

Hmm, so it's the way I've been suggesting during our first game after all, and scene framing is not as rigid as we played it. Makes sense.
