@Aesin - A "dead spy"! Very good addition... more of a concerted effort by the bad guys than a ramification, but very good.

comment How do I, as a player transition my group from Play in Person to Play by Post?
That might be a first step then; if he's not interested, you have other hurdles to overcome, and it can really affect how you present it.

You said you were a player- have you tapped the GM to see his interest?

Thanks for the answer- I was asking about a specific rules interpretation rather than an answer to a situation, so this wouldn't really apply.

comment Transplanting Fortitude Trappings to Other Skills
Thanks! I didn't know if the original would lose the effects or not- I figured it would, but wasn't sure. YW147 doesn't explicitly say whether transplanting moves or copies said trapping, and that was what was confusing. I now see where it says that limitations can also be applied, and that makes it even better, i.e. the same as with inhuman toughness, the altered stress track would only apply under certain circumstances.

comment How to get out of a story deadlock
Given so much in system terms, GMs lose track of the fact that it's collaborative. These are the times that are most rewarding and that I revel in- it reveals part of the story that I didn't know, and at many times the players keep me on the edge of my seat because I have no idea what they're going to do.

Awesome! I'm going to leave it open for a bit to let others chime in (as I've noticed that once there is an accepted answer, people tend not to contribute :-/)... but this is just awesome! Thanks!

comment Dresden Files without Wizards
After thinking about it for a bit, I think that maybe this doesn't answer- or perhaps obliquely answers the core question, but instead addresses the situation, i.e. are Wizards a balancing problem when non-Wizards face them. Updating the question with this.
