Personally, I would say "Force the PC to place the card in their Vault" if it is from Loadout to Vault. If from either loadout or Vault to the box, but they can take it later upon a level-up or level advancement, I'd say "Permanently remove the card from the PC's Loadout or Vault."

Do you mean placed from the loadout into the Vault, lost from the Vault entirely, lost from the loadout and Vault, or something else?

If there actually is such an argument, I'd genuinely like to know it! I'd also then want to know what authors are supposed to do to survive capitalism *right now* when we have to live in the world. Not what we should do in a perfect world.

We're workers. Our labor has value. Is that not the case?

Thanks so much for spotlighting this part of the book. I'm really happy with where we ended up on these. :)

The classes apply at the campaign level. The GM chooses a class to help emphasize a particular playstyle (Dramatist, Mastermind, Facilitator, Strategist) with features support/empower that style.

I think I'll do a video on it soon so I can get my thoughts out more widely.

The first published draft is only for patrons at $10 and up. I'll have another draft available for a wider range of tiers soon.

(Here's that first draft if you absolutely cannot wait and would like to pledge at the $10 level: www.patreon.com/posts/142837... )
