I ran a session of the #ShiverRPG last night and as I suspected, it's hella broken. You get a success on an easy roll with beginner stats less than 50% of the time. I know it's a horror game, but that's brutal.
There are ways to improve your odds, like narrating an advantage and getting support from other PCs, but bringing that in on every roll gets cumbersome. Even with that, we're still talking about the *easiest* rolls. Task checks can get *five times* harder. Gonna house rule this sucker.
I am prepping to run the #ShiverRPG at #ConcreteCow23a but I need to ask a question about it; has anyone got experience with the game or know where I can speak to someone about it?
