Oh, man! How timely. I’ve just started a “short run” of AW. I’m hoping it will be shorter than yours (3 sessions) but I really want to hear what you did (or didn’t do) to get it to move faster or wrap up in a satisfying manner.
Mine feels like it might not move along as quickly as I had hoped – the AW play design and process has a lot of surprising details that draw things out – so I’d really like to hear more about yours.
