Dear Ken,

Thanks so much for this. It[s always fun to read AP reports, but this  
has some gems.

Profession: Corpse Broker is exactly the sort of thing that we  
designed that skill to do. Just great. And you are right that  
brawling is a good knife-fighter skill, though close combat can also  
be used -- knives behave differently depending on how they are used,  
and that flexibility is what we were trying to model (i.e. how a  
knife is not like a sword, and still works with the point-buy design  
system so as not to lose out). "Routinely underestimated" is a great  
aspect, and would be really fun to use in play.

It's great that you got to play -- the sharing of reffing was  
something that we discovered when we first played SotC; if that  
contagious quality is in diaspora, that's high praise indeed.  So  
thanks!

Toph
