the distinction between board games and TTRPGs only exists in your heart baby

Basically in this episode and the next one I miss a couple of golden opportunities to use Fate's Create an advantage roll, one of my favourite Fate mechanics, and instead force some bastard child of an Overcome roll and a D&D-style "I guess just see how high you get" kind of thing the DM reaches for when they're not sure what mechanic applies (it me, I'm the DM)

A body in the back room. A mysterious figure fleeing the scene. What’s a newbie PI to do but give chase?

MASTERPOST

This but for dialogue edits on actual play recordings

Me editing in the present: aw I wish I'd thought to use this turn of phrase here, would've been amazing

Recorded me from the past: (immediately) the exact turn of phrase

Me while editing: *adds a sentence*

*finds nearly identical sentence in the next paragraph*
