Okay, uh, so we're creating characters. I'm mostly responsible for Zenn the bus driver. I write on my sheet: "Zen is in love with someone." I pass it to you. You write. "That person is Fran the dispatcher."
In Dogs, I just lost a conflict. I roll fallout and decide that it's a new trait at 1d4. Then I say, "dude, you decide what my new trait is."
That sound like pull by your definition? Are you mostly thinking grander scale than that?
Here's a follow-up question: how different is it between voluntarily doing the above and being required to do the above? Is it different? It seems like it might be, kind of.
For pullin' to work right, it seems to me like maybe you need the carrot, not the stick, but I don't entirely know what I mean by that.
This makes VB go "oh, and -"
In conjunction with my real reply below: no, yeah, that's exactly the scale I'm thinking. NOT grander.
