[Torg] subplots (was: Awards)

[Morgan Nash]

I'm just remembering one of my guys, poised to deliver his own killing
blow to Victor Mainwaring high in the Andes, producing two cards and
laying them down like a winning poker hand: Nemesis and Campaign. I
can only respect that kind of "shooting-yourself-in-the-foot".

On reading the comments of others, I think I'll be limiting characters
to one sub-plot at a time (perhaps with a "campaign'd" subplot too)
and using Phil's suggestion to change a saved Drama card to one
pp/player in the team rather than three for the holder.

And successful Glory cards were terribly rare when we played - maybe
one every three adventures? It definitely had to be appropriately
dramatic and something that could, frankly, be the root of a good
story to tell the public. The super-heroic spotting of a coin in an
alleyway (while a beautiful thing to watch those dice keep re-rolling)
probably wouldn't merit a Glory. Perhaps we just needed more creative
storytellers!
