So I woke up at 4 am in a panic, and now it's 6 am, and I've given up on trying to sleep, and now I'm just trying to distract myself from the Horrors, and apparently that involves thinking about some of the TTRPGs I've run.

Anyway, shout out to systems with mixed success and mixed failure. I'm thinking of the time I was running Fantasy Flight Star Wars, and the party was extremely injured and on the lam, so they needed medical attention from somewhere that was safe from the authorities. So one of them had mob connections, so she rolled Streetwise and got a resounding success with a whole bunch of disadvantage. So that's how I ended up making my worst NPC ever, Doctor Friendly, a mansquito who would gladly do whatever life-saving surgery you needed! The only payment he required was a lot of blood, preferably from the person who was actively dying, since blood tastes best close to death.

Come to think of it, even if I'm not running Star Wars, I am running a game where that would work. But it's with the same people, and they were so mad the first time when I had the excuse of making him up in five seconds that I think they would revolt if I brought him back.
