I’ve been running DoM monthly for the past two years, but we’ve used Burning Wheel instead of ToR. And one of the main reasons was I felt ToR characters lacked clear connections and motivations within the situation. BiTs have filled that gap nicely. I’ve encouraged the group to be responsive to the ever changing situation by reassessing their beliefs every one to two sessions.
DoM itself is a really excellent framework that allows a bit more flexibility than, say, Tales of the Wilderlands. We’ve managed to make it very character driven, but have also maintained tie ins to most of the main events of the campaign.
Sorry, I don’t have much to say about ToR itself. I’ve only played it once. Beatiful books. In glad to own the ones I do 😊
