By contrast, for Parental Advisory (still MGT2-powered, even at the
end), I found Luck rolls came in quite handy.
The three _surviving_ PCs (Nikki, Curly, Rhett) _all_ failed their Luck
rolls as the _Butcher's Paradise_ careened down from orbit (Old Joe had
had a fatal heart attack just before this) after not-quite-hammertiming
the supervolcano eruption on the way up.
If even _one_ of them had passed their luck roll, the game wouldn't have
ended with a crash (landing?) on an uncharted planet.
