Thank you, Graham!
Clarity: nonnegative numbers are 0 and above so I think that's correct in the book, could be clearer if I write "0 and above" from the beginning though. (Or am I missing the point?) Thanks for pointing out the issue with borrow and lend.
You're right it needs a lots of playtesting. I hope it's a nice play even with mediocre creativity from the party, I'll have to look at a way to make it a nice play if that"s not the case.
I really love the idea to make it a game about Mafia. I have to drop steel and make it more modern to work in that setting, but that's not a disaster. Gangsters rivaling to become the godfather, that's really cool. One is killed, one is arrested, one is exiled. Totally rocks!
I'll see if I can make it a better game with a setting. I really like the mafia one right now, but I'll try to make playtest in other settings too.
You helped me during the creative phase and now again, I'm grateful.
