Always or Sometimes Grind Cards?

Hierophant Posts: 782 2/15/2013	Looking for general preferences here. In a StoryNexus game with "grind" cards -- cards with options you repeat over and over to increase your stats and unlock lateral content -- do you prefer those grind cards to be Always or Sometimes cards? Does it change your opinion if the cards have a strong sense of place (e.g. the grind card is Stuff You Do at the Carnival versus Stuff Around Town) or if they represent actions you proactively do instead of things that happen to you (e.g. Ask Jane to Lunch versus Bump Into Jane at the Market)? Thanks much! -- Head Writer Zero Summer zerosummer@outlook.com

It should also depend on story. If the grind is "hit this boulder repeatedly to gain strength" it makes sense as always. If you're learning magic from a gypsy caravan that appears occasionally, it's sometimes.
