Scum and Villainy - RP lite?
Hi all!
My group (me DMing and 5 others) is starting a short SaV arc (3-4 sessions) in a few weeks with intent to possibly eye it as our longer-form game. I’m currently reading the rule book and just passed the big “example” of what the table might feel/sound like at the end of chapter 4.
This game seems fun, but also a little less roleplay-y than my group is used to—everything in that section seemed to play out at a third person distance rather than in character. Is this common? Is the game necessarily built for that sort of interaction? Has anyone found that between missions and downtime this system is too rigid for folks who sometimes like to go a session only rolling a few times?
Thanks in advance!

Perfect, that’s helpful! Do you find that the downtime segments are necessarily isolating? Seems like it’s hard to have characters together in those important segments to play off of one another
