In my #FadingSuns#TTRPG I'm running in #FATE the troupe comes from a lost world and will explore the Empire. I think it is reasonably likely one of them belongs (unknowingly) to a Noble House and will later claim some nominal title. I think I see tradeoffs in whether it's a Major, Minor, or Extinct house. Looking for feedback. Any of those options you think is a bad idea? And, if you wanted to present them with the choice of house in an inobvious way, how would you do it?
Alright. The first thing I've run across in #bladesinthedark to irritate me: nowhere in the core does it describe how many XP slots there are in a track. Yes I know you can reverse engineer it from the example. Yes I know you can take a flying leap in the dark about it being a detail of the character sheet. I just have a thing where simple, foundational, easy to explain parts of the rules ought to be explained.
