Going Stakeless

After a fairly long hiatus, I've got back in the saddle and am trying to finish off a few projects that I've left to squander recently, specifically Six Bullets, Memories and Madness and Ordinary Angels.

With Ordinary Angels (a game about angel cops, and doing what's right over what's necessary), I've made a conscious decision to steer clear of stakes and stake setting, whilst trying to maintain a fair amount of narrative freedom.

Hmm, everyone has been so busy this month doing stuff, but I thought I'd put this here so I can find it again in the future.

This thread on The Forge is a doozy: it starts off with a game of Primetime Adventures that's not going well and it gets analysed. You'll need a pack of cigarettes or maybe a four-pack of beer. But if you have the time it's worth settling down and working your way through it. The sharply focused posts on page 2 are worth the time spent reading it alone.
