Create a new Dynastic Rule titled “Brinksmanship”:

Each Artist is either Well-Fed (default) or Starving, tracked in the GNDT.  As a Weekly Action, an Artist may become Well-Fed or Starving.

When a Starving Artist would, if not for this rule, gain X Acclaim, he instead gains X*1.2 Acclaim.  When a Starving Artist would, if not for this rule, lose X Acclaim, he instead loses X*1.5 Acclaim.

Amend the Rule titled “Critical Acclaim” by replacing the first paragraph with:

All Artists have a score, tracked in the GNDT, entitled Acclaim. Acclaim must be a nonnegative decimal number and defaults to zero for new Artists.
