Does this stack with the clipboard, HiVis vest, or ladder buffs? Asking for a friend.

I'm sorry, they debuff all stats and consign you to a life in the Reeks and Wrecks.

Player Piano is a really great book! It doesn't get as much love as his later stuff and i think it's because it was Vonneguts first novel and he hadn't really developed the writing style people associate with his other more famous novels. It's still a great read I enjoyed from beginning to end!

I read it a rather long time ago, I will definitely read it again soon!

One of my all-time favorite books from easily my favorite author. Player Piano deserves more recognition outside Vonnegut fans.

Kurt had no idea how big they'd get in the future.
