Larp:Proposals/Economy of Cool

This is a proposal for a change to the Dark Skylines House Rules. It may not be approved for play, or may be in testing. Please check with a member of the Narrator Team if you are unsure.

Dark Skylines is filled with members of different levels of LARPing experience from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and creeds. What we all share is a love of our stories and characters. The most difficult lesson to learn as a player is that we are simply a thread in the larger collaborative story. In order to allow opportunities for every player to have their cool moment in our stories, in addition to the Graduation System, we utilize a system to spread around the more powerful, restricted character types.
