Cooperation Will Be Rewarded: Cooperative rolls of complimentary skills are encouraged! While you can always roll Persuasion to add to another’s Persuasion rolls, you can also make rolls of different skills as long as they make sense together. For example, in an interrogation, one character may roll Persuasion while the other rolls Intimidation (good cop/bad cop). Or, if you are going looking for information in town, one may roll Streetwise to find the right people and another may roll Persuasion to help loosen tongues. Just make sure it works in the game, role play it well, and it will fly!
Crit Fail Your Way to the Top: Crit fails are a part of our game, and they should be fun! If you crit fail, I’ll give you the chance to describe what happens to your character as a result of your snake eyes. If I like what you come up with, we’ll use it in game and you’ll get a Benny to go along with your spectacular screw up.
Raises Matter: If you get a raise on your Notice roll (or pretty much any other non-combat roll), feel free to make something up that your character notices or knows! For example, if you are in a radioactive facility and you don’t have full environmental protection on your armor, but you ace the snot out of your Notice roll, go ahead and write in that you see a safety station with a hazmat suit just waiting to be taken. If there is relevant in-game information that I want you to have as a result of your spectacular rolling, I will PM it to you, but otherwise, be creative. Don’t take things too far (“I notice a brand new TX-30 Ion Pulse Rifle with three spare e-clips just lying over there!” probably won’t fly), but have fun when you get raises.

Like Bennies? Be Funny! Be Creative! Role Play the Crap Out of Your Character! I reward creative role playing, jokes, good puns, and truly awful puns with Bennies. If you as a group can make me laugh, groan, or go “that’s awesome!” over the course of a quarter, you each will get an extra Benny to start the next quarter.
