Quick Spirit of the Century question

[Totally Guy]

I can't find this in the book. Does the GM tell the players the difficulty of their simple actions?

It seems to be implied in the examples that the GM keeps it a secret. But I can't see why that'd be a desirable thing. But it doesn't clarify if it's actually a rule in the text.

It's not in the rulebook, so I say go for whatever.

I generally declare difficulties if it's something that every player is rolling, in order to save time, but otherwise just keep them to myself.

[Knaight]

It leaves that up to GM preference. However, the trait ladder is there for a reason, and that reason is to mingle the adjectives with normal description. "You stand before a great chasm" is often an indicator that the difficulty of crossing the chasm would be great, using proper chasm crossing technique.

[potatocubed]

"You stand before a superb chasm."

or conversely

"You stand before a mediocre chasm."

:smalltongue:

[DeadManSleeping]

"You stand before a mediocre chasm."

I will use this at some point, mark my words.

[Totally Guy]

I just hope nobody tries to cross it by placing the skill ladder over it.

You'll have difficulty crossing that Legendary Chasm with the Mediocre Ladder.
