First GameMy first 2 encounters, which I treat as a single game. I actually played the second on on my phone while at the doctor's office with my wife, using the game's pdf, my phone's notepad, and a dice roller app.

Cool! I look forward to part 2. Asking questions of an oracle now and then really moves the story forward. I use cards with a likely odds of good even or bad. So Q. Do dice hate me? Good odds. Q. Will I win? Bad odds. Q. Am I paranoid? Even...  |

Challenge rule works well too. As in "Can I find out who's behind this rash of killings?"
Take a Difficult Challenge.

I actually used both; Challenges when skill was necessary and yes/no rolls when it wasn’t.
Example:
“Can i tell if Simon is lying?” Challenge
“Is he lying?” Roll
“Is he trying to rescue the chief’s daughter?” Roll + improv

"Gambling?" That's Savvy. Jumping from a moving train - Rep. Your mileage may vary |

True, although that does bring up another Q. Why don’t other games besides Nuts use Fitness instead of measuring one’s physical ability with Rep? A Rep 7 deputy could be 90 lbs soaking wet, but people still fear him for his shooting skill and sharp mind.
