Tried searching the forum for this, but couldn't find anything, so I apologize if this is covered anywhere.

Let's say I have a Luck of 1, and I'm asked to make a Luck -3 check. Can I just spend one clue token to get a single die to roll for that check, or would I need to spend 3? In other words, before I spend clue tokens, am I at negative 2 die, and spending a clue token adds one die to bring me to negative 1?

In the situation described, spending one clue token will get you one die to roll, yes. No matter how far in negatives you are for a skill, spending a clue token will get you a die. (Edit: or possibly more, depending on skills, etc)

Spending Clues add dice, not a +1 to the check. So even if after all modifiers, it is +1, or -100, 1 Clue token allows you to roll 1 die. So you would only need to spend 1 Clue token to roll 1 die in your example.

You can look at it as if after everything is added and subtracting, if it is below 0, it is set to 0 before clues are spent.

For some reason nothing I do will mark this thread as read.

Then it must be a thread thing. I've been having the same issue.

I've seen this before... even worse, I've seen threads that don't mark as "new" when there are new comments. I recall one thread where a poster very specifically wanted my input but I never showed up in the thread because it was never marked "read."

That happens to me all the time too I can usually tell though because often an updated thread will appear underneath it. Posting in this thread seems to have fixed the problem though.

I've noticed that if you edit your reply after there is a new reply after it, the thread gets the "new" sticker on it until another reply is posted.
