Got back to this, now that I have a bit of time on my hands, and it’s really cool. I’d definitely want to try this out. I do think that, not having watched the show, I might feel a bit lost on what we’re getting into. But maybe that’s great and surprising! 🙂
It did take me a second reading, after thinking “you really need two or more staff members to make this sing,” to realize you already built this in. That paragraph on choosing playbooks could probably be clearer by stating something like “There are six characters that you distribute among the players…” Because “have access to” sounded like a choice to me, rather than a definite distribution. But I know, drafts and wordsmithing and all that.
Quick note: you’ll get a lot more failures with this than with regular AW due to the lack of stat bonuses.
