Does this actually give any advantage over dice? Are the stones
actual physical tokens which regularly move about the character
sheet, or are they like the 'pips' in Storyteller which are just
another (slower) way of writing down a number?
We normally lounge around on sofas while roleplaying, and having
to keep the character sheets flat whilst marking things with tokens
would be somewhat hard.

Presumably to represent a comic book layout.
Anyway, a good review.
