" Which means that if the character is say, obnoxious, and acts that way around somebody they really shouldn't insult, they gain karma to spend on bonuses. Each player should start with one point of "good" karma too. Hi Hoplite!

Which means that if the character is say, obnoxious, and acts that way around somebody they really shouldn’t insult, they gain karma to spend on bonuses.

Each player should start with one point of “good” karma too.

I understand how one gains bad karma and how one can erase it. However, how does one gain good karma and how much does good karma does a player start with to activate their boons? Thanks, Hoplite A question about Good Karma in The Agency. I understand how one gains bad karma and how one can erase it. However, how does one gain good karma and how much does good karma does a player start with to activate their boons?

The premise sounded neato, but it was Paul Tevis' review that made me want it. Likely I'll be back here when I get a chance to play it some. A friend of mine bought it from IPR for me.

Early on in the game Conventions and Motifs mean this is less likely (as dice change a lot), but later on rolls tend to stand more. If you use your last edge it's still up to the next player to modify to stay in. Which means you can just stick things out, in the hope that the antagonist isn't willing or able to use the edges they have left. And thanks for buying the game! Where did you pick it up?
