The Transitive Property of Gaming blog, which I read a lot for warhammer information, had a post a while back about the relative merits of conservative vs. reckless stances in combat. The post compares the success rates of a theoretical attack using the Troll-Feller Strike (a fairly nasty card) in reckless versus conservative stances, and…

In the last session of Rats in the Ranks, the PCs had to escape from a slowly collapsing dungeon before it crushed them alive.
