Special color coding would call for special dice rules, we can add that if we really want. But this should not be the focus of the game.

We can mention the 'DC' or 'TN' or whatever we want to call it in the Reason field, but more important is to put the reason for the roll in that field so we know what the roll is for. We will settle on something that works for us as we play.

Totally agree. I was actually trying to test with the > and DC. I added all those rolls because of what you mentioned in the (now deleted) post you did using ">" in the dice

I saw that =)

A wise GM [ref] once told me: "people have read it" = "as soon as you have posted." =))

"I did that on purpose... um ... to illustrate the point... yeah... um ... whoops."

[quote="Balthazar"]... a lot of reading to do to catch up in this game ...[quote]

Let us know if you need a summary to catch you up.

(Despite being 3 pages of RP, a summary should be quick (this is always the case, summarising 'in our previous session' (which was 5 hours!) takes 30 seconds if there are no 'ums and ers':).)

In big games/treads, I have started to use google notebook LM to read through everything, and give me a summary
If the game is private, then I'll show all treads (click X of X) and copy/paste everything to a text file and upload that into notebook

No thank you. LLMs get it wrong too often for me to rely on them to summarise things, even though 'summarise' is one area where they are strong.

The act of writing a summary is immensely useful. As the saying goes: "If you want to really learn a subject, teach it." Or: "If you can't teach (summarise) it, you don't really know it."
