comment Using Boardgames or Card Games to improve GMing or Playing
Do you know any resources on the internet about using Tarot cards for RPGs? How to draw them, interpret, use, et cetera?

Just for a thought, this answer could be improved with links to the systems' homepages, or information pages, or Lite Rules pages

comment How does D&D Vancian magic make sense in-game?
@starwed YES! I've been struggling to remember one familiar fantasy settings which used a similar system, until I saw your post and immediately recalled second half of the Amber series. Also it worked like that in Joel Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series.

@Tynam Maybe it contradicts your view of the rules, but isn't the game all about fun? If the rules worked for you, by no means you should change that!

So, success in Assessment action reveals an aspect. Rolling 0 shifts is also a success. But according to the paragraph quoted in the original question, Reading People trapping requires at least one Shift to learn an aspect, and, moreover, uses a very peculiar wording: "as such" which implies that Assessment description on page 115 states the same, but it doesn't. Let me rephrase my question a little bit.

@aardvark While it does sound reasonable, an aspect is always there. Just because you Tag Happy-go-lucky (uncovered by assessment without shifts) doesn't mean the target suddenly loses his happy-go-luckiness.

So, in other words, for this particular skill, you NEED at least one shift for the Assessment to work, otherwise it's just a failure? Other skills which also perform assessments, like Casing trapping in Burglary, it doesn't require shifts? It's kind of confusing for me still.
