Thanks, Eric!
Indeed, an example of play is one of the goals of the expanded version, as well as optional rules on how to make tags mechanically relevant.
But you grasped the premise really well. I personally enjoy the idea of watching players seeking in-game opportunities for "resetting" the Kismet in lower-stakes scenarios. Game the game!
The original idea of not having tags influence the die roll is to avoid the "is this tag applicable?" conversation that permeates similar games. Nothing wrong with that, I just wanted a faster approach, tags as a roleplaying compass.
But I understand your point and I shall address it with the upcoming optional rules!
