Rules query: Destiny points. You can spend one to increase the difficulty of an enemies task by 1 step. Stu Venable said that would upgrade a purple die to a red die. I was under the impression that increasing the difficulty step would add a purple die (going from medium to hard)?
Also: Dave is correct. The Vinturi wine aerator's are nice. We did an experiment with 2-buck Chuck, before and after, and there was a definite improvement. It also does well with good wines. Especially with as much wine as you guys drink during gaming, it'd be worth it.

I don't have the book in front of me (it's packed for the convention!), but I *think* the rules said it "upgrades" difficulty, which in this system isn't the same as increase.
Don't quote me on this. I'll be looking at the book tonight to brush up on some stuff for tomorrow's con game.

It's hard to kill people in EotE. It takes multiple critical injuries.
Or Believable narration.
Sure mechanically, it's hard to die. But an example from my own game, was where one character was on a collapsing catwalk, as a bomb was being set off below him, in a steel forge factory. He failed every roll to leap to a stable platform, and everyone failed to catch him, and he took enough wounds from a grenade to knock him unconscious as he was slowly falling.
The player asked if he was dead, and the GM asks, does that make sense to you? His answer: Yeah, seems pretty hard to escape. The GM was given permission to bring him back in some nefarious way, but he never did.

Gillsing: Interesting fact about a movie that put me to sleep the first two times I tried to watch it at RPG cons. The third time I managed to stay awake, and was disappointed. Everyone seemed to like it so much. But apparently it was not for me. Story of my life.

Provinto: I was thinking about asking something about GLOG, but then I realized something: It says OSR on the can, but it tastes like Hippy Game
