This sounds like a good realization to have.

Separately, even as a fan of your stuff, the more likely something requires more reference, the less likely I will be to play it. This is different than content and systems, weirdly. It’s HOW you unroll the information. From what I hear about AW 2nd edition, I’m becoming less and less interested. TOO MANY MOVES. And this from a Torchbearer fan. Maybe it will be cool if the basic moves snowball into the less-used ones? I don’t want to crack open the book unless specifically directed to.

Ugh, never listen to your fans!
