What if instead of talking about our shit on here, we did it in the comments of our own blogs, itch pages, etc. ?
I think I'm gonna try that. I'm really not feeling this space anyways.
The folks here, who I like, I know where your stuff drops. I'll look to engage there.

I think there is a more pertinent question:
"How is damage/stress/injury fictionally represented in the game?"
Does taking damage from a goblin stabbing you represent the wearing down of your stamina/luck? Or is it just being stabbed in your meaty bits?
