  Entertainer Fame 
   Entertainer Fame is a special case: its calculation is complex to 
  reflect the interaction of Talent, Accomplishment, and Expectations.

  ENTERTAINER FAME 
   Fame is the central focus of 
  the Entertainer career. It 
  controls continuing in the 
  career and it reflects the 
  Entertainer’s overall success. 
   At The Start Of The 
  Career. The character rolls 2D 
  for Talent. The character, in 
  addition, has the option of 
  adding Flux to this roll. 
   Every Term. In the course 
  of each Term as an 
  Entertainer, the player makes 
  a series of Performances, 
  which are then critically 
  reviewed, and which translate 
  into current Fame. For a 
  musician, Performances are 
  the concerts and recordings 
  he makes; for an artist, they 
  are his paintings or sculptures; 
  for a chef, they are the 
  gourmet meals he prepares. 
   Performances. Roll 2D for 
  the relative value of the 
  Performances for the Term. 
  Higher values are better. 
   Reviews. Critics 
  (consumers and media) 
  evaluate Performances for 
  their intrinsic value and in light 
  of their expectations. Critics 
  often have higher expectations 
  for those with greater Talent. 
  Reviews equal Performance 
  minus Talent divided by two. 
   Current Fame. The 
  Entertainer’s current Fame at 
  the end of the Term is Talent 
  plus all Reviews (all Reviews 
  ever received). 
   Adjusted Talent. After 
  Fame is calculated, Talent is 
  adjusted to reflect the Reviews 
  for the Term. 
   
  CALCULATING FAME 
  At Start 
  T Talent = 2D (+ Flux [optional] ) 
  P Performance = 2D 
  R Reviews = (Performance-Talent) /2 
  F Fame = Talent + All Reviews 
  Every 
  Term 
  Adjust Talent + Review 
  Once 
  The Big Break. Increase Fame +D 
  Round to the character’s advantage

   Entertainer Fame is 
  calculated using the 
  Entertainer Fame 
  process. 
   
  THE FAMOUS SINGER DIVA 
   For example, Diva is a singer with Talent=7. Up until this point, she is an unknown. 
   In her first Term, she rolls Performance =8. Her Reviews = (8 - 7 ) /2 = 1/2 rounded to 1.  Her Fame at the end of the Term is 
  (7 + 1= ) 8 (she is known Regionally). Her Talent-7 is adjusted by her Reviews to (7 + 1 ) = 8. 
   In her second Term, she rolls 2D for Performance = 8. Her Reviews = (8 - 8 ) / 2 = 0. Her Fame at the end of the Term is 8 + 
  1 + 0 = 9 (and is known Continentally). Her current Talent-8 is adjusted by her current Reviews-0 and remains Talent-8.  
   In her third Term, she rolls 2D for Performance = 8 (she’s consistent at least). Her Reviews = (8 - 9 ) / 2 = - 1/2 rounded to 0. 
  Her Fame at the end of the third Term is 8 + 1 + 0 + 0= 9 (unchanged). Her current Talent-8 is adjusted by her current 
  Reviews-0 and remains Talent-8.
