Ah. That was what I forgot to include. For any Help a players and such dropped after the first 20 minutes, they get recorded and awarded at the start of the next session. This is far from perfect, but it's also not my stream, so only tossing out some ideas.

I mentioned this to Kimi before, but I think I will put it here as well as an option for making the "Help a Player" mechanic less disruptive.
I am under the impression that the disruption comes more from the announcements and in some cases, the players dropping not so subtle hints that a help a player would be nice at various points throughout the game, more so than that they help 'skew' the game more towards the players advantage.
To ameliorate this, I have seen one Streaming GM implement this. During the first 20 minutes of the stream, usually known as the BS time of the session, as people are doing recaps, making jokes and such, before the game settles into the actual story, he allows the audience spend their 'Rep/Beers' to buy help a players and such for the game. After that first 20 minutes or so, he ends it, and that is what is locked in for "That session" of the game. The help a players don't carry over to the next session. Seems to me, having a time limit at the beginning for people to do so would cut down on the disruptions, especially as it happens during the time before people get laser focused on the game/story.
Only downside to this I could see would be people who couldn't be there at the beginning of the stream possibly feeling miffed that they can't help/influence as well. Thoughts anyone?

And, as one of the Spaniard's Ghost players is having a Birthday this coming Wednesday, and the another happens to be married to said player, there will be no Spaniard's Ghost this coming Wednesday. Why do I mention this, you ask? Simple. Razor Ridge is scheduled to fill in and happen on Nov 29th to take it's place. Perhaps this, in some small way helps to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms.

I support any game, but especially one that contains a fellow Battlelords fan. So, you are saying you would have preferred I went with my second character idea? Outsider Playbook A socially adept, 7 fingered elf eared Scottish kleptomaniac?

genhuman(who won't show up in the member list for some reason) Probably because I have so few posts on the forum. Guess I better stop lurking.

Soooo... any chance I could just be a lurker in this game? I would love to just read the game as it developed. Done. Sorry about not being able to join. RL has it's claws in me still and my life is in Flux. That being said, I would love to be able to lurk the game and see how things progress. Any chance you would be willing to grant that?

Will need to review the rules. It's been a while, but count me intrigued. I am so intrigued, I actually made a post on the forums, so there.
