[UA] Crunchy Bits

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

I'd think that Good in a Crunch would only apply to a
certain type of skill or skill base.  You might be
good at getting your exams/homework (or even handing
in news articles under deadline) done in a crunch,
like I'm supposed to be.  But you might not be so hot
in a firefight or a dance contest or anything else
that gets jiggy.  It might be some kind of
suplementary skill, tho'.  If you succeed at this
skill, you can flip-flop any other skill roll in the
tense situation.  Good in a Crunch could never really
be an obsession skill, therefore, because, well,
wouldn't that be weedy?

(I'm assuming, of course, that you meant that having
this skill means automatically getting to flip-flop
under pressure.  Otherwise, I'm a big doofus.  Not
that I can encourage anyone to play UA lately anyway. 
I just spent a couple days pitching it a local game
store and no one bit. Couple guys liked the art, tho'
and a couple liked bohica and a couple liked my
description of skills, but they all disliked
eachother.  Then we started arguing about Farscape.)
