We didn't. I got in one session before the announcement of "major changes", so we stopped, not wanting to get too attached to rules that were going away. The AW:DA game has thus been on indefinite hiatus, and I've been running the Eternal Lies campaign fram for Trail of Cthulhu instead.

How about yours?

My game is physically fairly small. Everywhere on the map can be reached by horse within a week or ten days. My goal was to keep all of the major locations within one day of travel from any other, and then I stretched them along a rough "y" shape.

Given their oaths, my group clustered naturally into two "teams": the OH, WH, and WW in one, and the TK and DH in the other.

We calculated the relationship of the OH with the monachy, and determined that the current King claims the throne under Noble Blood, but the OH has a claim under the Blood of Eagles. The Mountain Clan Queen on the DH sheet I have decided also has a claim to the throne under the Old Blood, but that hasn't come up yet.

Once fortunes were rolled, I found it fairly easy to find reasons for the two teams to be pointed at each other at the start, and they met up by the end of session one. Session two is this Sunday.

The Dragon Herald

Dragon Heralds' rank options are great. I like that they can be either the highest- or lowest-born. Very colourful.

The oaths are generally interesting, though "see them home" lacks the bite of the others. I suppose it's up to the players to make that really mean something, and it will probably work best with the Outlaw Heir.

I really enjoy the Frenzy move. I can see that being incredibly disruptive to the poor jerks it's used against.

I like the Sight. I think it's very creepy, and I find the questions really compelling.

All of the Followers options are cool. I particularly like the Foremost/Notables section. I think these options are a clear refinement of the cults and gangs in AW, and I am going tos tart "back-adapting" them.

I am a little confused about the population values in the Interests and Ventures section. Where are those people, exactly?

The Outlaw Heir

These Oaths are great. It really hits the different potential relationships there.

Moves are good. Beautiful & Doomed is the real standout, because its trigger is so simple, and the consequences are so significant, particularly because it uses Hot, which isn't one of the OH's best. As it reads, it's ambiguous as to whether the "Someones" can be all the same person, or if they must be different. My gut is that it makes more sense if it's at least permissible that they all be the same.

I like how Supporters start in the mechanics, but can only be added to in the fiction.

Does the OH roll for Fortunes even if they have not yet reclaimed their holdings?

The Troll-Killer

Interesting that Cool is the TK's best stat! I suspect that's going to be a bit dissonant for people who gravitate to it as a "combat class", but I think it has the potential to reward clever players, especially along with Honed Instincts.

Commanding Presence is a potent move. Is it usable against PCs as well as NPCs?

Reputation is great, and will allow both the TK player and the GM to spread lore about the setting.

The TK's equipment list is a curiosity. I think I'll have to see it in play before I have any real comments.

I love the Associations. It's great that in a good season, they all can help out, but when times are hard, they are hard for everyone, and the whole dang world needs a Troll-Killer all of a sudden.

The War-Herald

These are maybe my favourite Oaths, because of the way they imply status.

Wolfpack is a complex move, but a nice evolution of the equivalent Chopper move. It's clear, given the relative simplicity of the other moves, that a lot of the WH's play is meant to revolve around their little war-band, which puts them in a very clear and dangerous position. I also like the threat generated by defiant lieutenants...

The war-band of 12-16 warriors could use a little more clarity. I understand from what else I've seen here that it's a low-muster/normal muster, but it suggests that the total value is somewhere in between those two figures.

I think the Suffering table is maybe a little confusing, because of the 0-harm line. Is that to be read that if they take harm, but it's reduced to zero, then they have a few incidental injuries? What is their Fate/Suffering if they have not even risked harm?

Are Cavalry and Shield Wall mutually exclusive? I can see how a war-band might be trained in both, but it seems like one couldn't use both tactics simultaneously.

Similar confusion here as before with Interests and Ventures. Where exactly do the 180 population from investment in overland trade and furs go?

Wicker-Wise

I love this name. I think it implies all the right qualities, along with the fact that Wicker sounds like Wicked.

Of all the Distinctive Features, I think the WW has the best ones, particularly since they tend to extremes. That said, since "beautiful" is in there, perhaps "extremely ugly" ought to be as well.

Great Oaths. They are simple, and they make clear what the WW's traditional place in society is.

The Moves also really cement the WW's place in the social order. A WW doesn't have a lot of power in direct confrontation, but with +2 Hot to start, and Charms, and then using either Poisoner, Regal Air, or Wise in Counsel, I can see a WW quickly accumulating favours.

Charms and Ceremonies are great. They feel like a very stripped-down version of Spells from Ars Magica. I like how blood sacrifice is pretty close to a given for anything that needs to be done urgently, but that there's no pressure on choosing a source.

The Love charm might be a bit too potent, though I suppose its short duration balances that out. It's also potentially a bit triggery.

The Healing charm: presumably this heals someone to "I will see another sun rise" or keeps them there for one more day if they were already there, preventing them from getting any worse. It has no power on anyone less-hurt?

I love the Shrines. I have a feeling that I'm going to see "Among standing stones" and "In a sacred grove" checked off more than the others.

I dig this. It could also be used to represent the monks of Kingsbridge standing up to the Earl's men in Pillars of the Earth (as seen here: http://youtu.be/-rM2YkXabmY).

The character fates are amazing. I actually felt my brain wrinkle. They were good enough on first read that I had to come over here and create an account and post right away. More when I compose myself.
