After five it can be a bit of a nuisance. But since I've never believed in
the karma pool I don't use it.

Nope. I don't use karma pool, but if I did use the kp no meta's have paid a
price abet a low one to me a meta so they don't deserve to get they kp at
half speed. And to question 2 nope again.

Nope. That's the best way to handle it.

Anywhere between 4-8. With 10 to 12 for Tinner style adventures if they're

All my regular dice plus let's see 12 cubes of 36 six siders. I tell you

Historically, the Germans had a habit of associating the names of objects
with the
sounds they made. In keeping with this tradition when cannons were first
made they
became known as the bum for boom! The first 100- pound bomb was dubbed
"ein lautes Bumm " a loud boom!" After the first atomic bomb was dropped on

Hiroshima, they called the fission device "ein grosses Bumm " or a big loud
boom!"
The next obvious step was the fusion, or H-bomb, which was pronounced
"ein grosses lautes Bumm all ist kaput!"
