Hello!
I'm interested in the series but what has me a little reluctant to pick it up is that it encourages players to play themselves. While that's neat, I kinda feel that's a novelty and also discourages great risk as the players don't want to find themselves unable to paly the game anymore. I know there's an option to play fictional characters but does it play well, or is there something greatly missing in the narrative or mechanics of the story? I think about running this at a convention with pre-mades to move things quickly in the short time allotted, I wonder if this game will suit that well. If not, anyone could suggest something else?
