So, how does a new visitor on the Amagi site get to the older posts that aren't listed in the sidebar?

So, I like the concept. Sadly, most of my players hate unnecessary player-level decision making which distracts from their kenosis.

I can get behind the not breaking screen layout. I think it's a factor of one mode of thinking which, at least for me, often doesn't take into account other important factors. Which why I find it important to walk away from something for a little while and then come back to look at it with a different mindset.
Getting other folks to look at it can also work.

Oh, I understand. My intention wasn't to be critical so much as express my wariness toward jargon.
Understanding what the various participants are looking for from the game is important to good/functional gameplay.

My thinking on Minor Glamour was that the changes were so minor that they really couldn't provide anything like a disguise bonus. So, of course, why did I include it if it doesn't provide any benefit to the player, right? It's a dead/useless option and it's only going to annoy players that want to get Glamour and Major Glamour.
Well, part of my design philosophy for Perfect Fantasy was to leave a lot of room for GM interpretation and when I erred I preferred to do it on the side of more room for interpretation rather than less.
Minor Glamour says that "changes are generally not sufficient to provide an
adequate disguise against even a casual observer." That may sound definitive but I think there is still some room for a player/GM to manuever there, especially using some misdirection.Let's say that the elf in question is running from some city guards. She ducks into a crowded market, drops her cloak, and uses Minor Glamour to change the color of her hair. If I were running the game, I would totally give the character a bonus of some kind for quick thinking and an excellent use of Minor Glamor. Any other GM, I can't say the same. It's really a matter of style and tone. I wanted to leave that up the person running the game.
Thanks for the wiki tips! I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Best,
