The part of 1e AW that breaks when you run the conversation like this is that XPs are tied to making rolls for marked traits.

So all of the talky talky I’ll let you know if you’ve triggered a move is actually screwing players out of XPs. Its literally the exact wrong XP system for the game.

Not sure if 2e fixed that, but it drove me bananas everytime I tried to play AW.

You can’t just have a conversation and not drive towards moves AND level up at the same time.
