Looking over the 1.1 playtest document again, it belatedly occurs to me that the system seems like it would work a lot better if all letters had at least two conflict symbols, since (if I am reading the rules correctly), when a conflict is changed, you replace a conflict symbol on the card with another from the letter. Which is kind of hard if the letter only has one symbol. It sounds in general that it is desirable that letter writers should probably cast a wide net when selecting conflict symbols for their letters.

Since at least three of my letters are flagged with only one symbol, I probably need to go back over at least those letters and add more symbols, and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to look over all of my letters to see if any other conflict symbols apply. Unless, of course, the rules on this are in the process of changing, in which case Daniel's guidance would be very useful.

I'm not sure if I understand... All the letters in 1.1 have multiple conflict symbols. The guidelines for letter-writing also suggest tagging a letter with two or three symbols as well. :)

Three of mine had only one symbol, but last night I said the heck with it, and added more to them. As for the guidelines, I must have missed that.

But anyhoo, that whole element is probably going to be altered quite a bit, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

OK.
