but if you name a mode as "Core rules" and describe it as the closest to the P&P experience, you should put the bare minimum of effort to make so that it matches the description.
I must say, I felt somewhat betrayed, when I discovered midway through my P:KM playthrough that "core rules" included extra stat buff for enemies (on top what I assume are baked in manipulation). I think Faceless Sister during priest dude quests was my breaking point - it was the worst example of bating players into unescapable difficult encounter without foreshadowing the difficulty I have seen in the game, plus an enemy we have faced before and killed with ease, this time buffed for no explainable reason.
I will most likely dive into custom settings this time around, and cut as much bullcrap as I can.
