Hello! We just finished Act 1, and we had a tie of powers when the Act ran out of tokens, so we picked the one who would be the most fun narratively (homecomer) to be the one who wields the knife going forward as we couldn't find anything on ties for number of tokens in that situation in the text. I'm assuming that's okay, but would you recommend any kind of mechanical way to solve this also when I play this again? (is so lovely, i know of a few folks i'd want to take on this journey when i take it again)
I could swear I’ve talked about this somewhere before, but a cursory search failed to find it. Basically, I think there’s two options:
- if you want the arbitrary cruelty of chance, pick randomly (flip a coin, paper scissors rock, cut the omen deck and highest wins, whichever); or
- if you want the poignant tasty irony, then as y’all did picking the messiest option is good
OR (i remember now I was talking about the how-to-do-oneshots question below with my partner) you could say the signs point to both, they both answer questions (together or separately as makes sense), and this is unprecedented and any neighbours who are in the know are Freaked Out
