10: If you’re in a Noir/Dark Hero game, grab a shotgun; just use solid slug rounds.
11: In fact, if you’re in *any* game, grab a shotgun… shotguns rule. (unless it’s Silent Mobius, then grab a Graviton).

13: Area of Effect attacks: the great equalizer.

26: If at first you don’t succeed, get better equipment, get someone else’s help, and take five times as long on your next try.

36: On a 14-, the first Grail quote will be, “Run Away, Run Away”
37: Followed quickly by: “And there was much rejoicing”, “What is your favorite color?”, or some riff on the Killer Rabbit scene.
38: On an 8-, a given Hero player will not have seen said movie — and will wear a tight smile while the above occurs.
