Flight of the Atlas: 0. It's Castle Falkenstein. Might go to 1 if I didn't have to do the damned character diary.
I would never force a player to maintain a character diary, regardless of what the rulebook says. Some people dig it, but for those who don't it actively diminishes the enjoyment of the game. Why breed resentment like that?
House of the Dragon: 0. It's Feng Shui. Hrm. I had thought your dislike of Feng Shui stemmed from the Secret War/ deliberately ahistorical and ever changing setting, not from the mechanics themselves. This game is consciously designed to be secret war/time war free. Would that make a difference, or is your dislike of the system more systemic?
Ad yes, the first Bond books came out in the 50's, but the first Bond films are very much a part of the 60's. I can clearly use the books publication dates for a fig leaf of authenticity (if that mattered), but I still see it as an anachronism.
