Alright, it hasn't happened for you, yet.  But, even with a +3 hard, there's an 8 percent chance of a 6-.  For those with a +1, that jumps up to almost 28% chance of a 6-.  We aren't talking about something that isn't supposed to be part of the game.  Heck, the entire engine is built around 10+, 7-9, 6-.

A possible scenario.  Keeler the Gunlugger is given the job of driving the Hombres Gang away from the only well in 50 miles.  (Keeler has 0 advancements, he's a new character.  But,  she has picked NTBFW, Insano like Drano, Bloodcrazed and has a MG and heavy (2) armor.  She doesn't just look tough, she is tough).  Keeler has already killed the leader of the Hombres and several of his bodyguards, but not before they got a call out for the rest of the gang to come back and kill this crazy woman.

25 tough bikers roll up to the well (small gang, 2-harm, 2-armor, because they recently found a cache of kevlar body armor).  Keeler is just finishing patching up a cut on her arm and doesn't hear the gang until they are almost on her.  The gang sees its dead leader and open fire at the same time as Keeler unslings her still-warm MG and strafes the area.  Keeler rolls Seize By Force, because she wants to maintain control of the well and the Hombres are only getting paid if they hold onto that water.  Keeler rolls snake eyes and even with her +3 Hard, still just gets a 5.  Bad luck for Keeler.  Or is it?

Keeler doesn't want to lose this well.  This is her first job and reputation matters.  She chooses to maintain definite hold of the well.  Keeler does 4 harm to the bikers minus 2 because they are exceptionally armored.  They do 2 harm to her, but she also has 2 armor.  Keeler's roll of a 5 ends with many injuries, some serious and a couple of fatalities for the Hombres.  They have no leader, so they break and try to get out of there as quickly as possible.  Possibly to plot revenge, but if this is how well they managed on Keeler's unlikely roll of a 6-, things aren't looking good for them.  Keeler takes 0 harm and has to roll the harm move.  Granted, this can still go poorly for Keeler, but it's relatively unlikely.  (When she gets her first advancement, she can take the juggernaut move to mitigate this).   

On a roll of 6-, Keeler wins.  She kills some, hurts more, drives off the gang.  She's likely unhurt.  Shouldn't the failure on the SBF mean more than this, even for a tank-like Gunlugger?

If you don't trust the person running the game, there is no reason to be playing in their game, no matter the system. 

Making the character's lives interesting is not the same as shitty.

I love that as a player I can wrap my head around my character and just describe what they do and a story will happen.  Also, AW tends to incorporate what the players are actually interested in more than most games.

I'm downloading this now and I was wondering if there are more sessions?

Vincent, that sounds like an entirely adult way of looking at things.  I do want my MC to be excited about the game and my character.

My group's Hardholder goes down in a spray of gunfire (taking a hit in the upper chest and one in the thigh) and ends up at 9 o'clock ((edit: faulty memory)  she was actually at 10 o'clock) and bleeding.  Her gang manages to get her out of the fight, but they have almost a day's trek pulling her on a sled through the snow to get home and are without their angel.  Nobody there knows anything about healing, beyond put pressure on a bleeding wound.

Her second-in-command is 'That kind of guy' and is making comments about not minding putting his hands on her boob, but is actually trying his best to keep her alive despite his own wounds.  The Hardholder player decides to push the hands off of her despite my warning that the blood begins to ooze out more quickly and takes no action to slow the bleeding. 

I'm interested in knowing what other MC's would have done in response to this situation?  Does she keep bleeding despite the cold?  Do I continue with warnings (tell them the possible consequences and ask) and deal 1 harm at a time until she dies or perhaps is almost dead when the angel reaches her side?

The Hocus in my game has her Weird up to 3 and is using moves so that she primarily uses her Weird at all times.  She has Charismatic so that she reads with Weird, Augury, Opens her Brain and now has Healing Touch from the Angel playbook.  So far she's gotten about twice as much experience as everyone else.  Her roleplay has been great, I'm just a bit worried about the other players getting jealous of her progress.  It seems like every scene she can at least Open her Brain and with a violent world there are a lot of wounds out there to heal with Healing Touch.  Perhaps I wouldn't be worrying about it so much if she wasn't getting a 10+ on every weird roll.

I'm not planning on Highlighting her Weird for awhile, but the other players might.  Any advice or should I just ignore it and keep rooting for everyone to be awesome and interesting?

Your game sounds very interesting!  Mostly, I love how excited you are.  I think it sounds like you are in a great place for some fantastic RP experiences with your group.  I hope you'll check back with some updates on how things are going.
