Title: Casual brain receptivity question
Post by: Joe Beason on September 22, 2010, 09:25:29 AM
Our Hocus decided to go out of playbook and took the Brainer's casual brain receptivity move as an advance.  He's playing it an interesting way: if he's trying to read someone while engaged in conversation, he wants to use sharp, but if he's going all psychic spy, he'll use weird.  Fine by me, especially since he's actually penalizing himself, being better at Weird than Sharp.

My question is, how do people play out psychic reads?  Do you skip the whole conversational aspect of reading a person and just have the PC ask questions 1-2-3, or do you play out some sort of stream of consciousness interrogation, or something else entirely?
