That is what I was imagining. Thank you. And that's an interesting tidbit to know about 2nd ed. I'm not sold on it yet (I like the simplicity of 1st edition currently) but I'll have to wait for it to come out to be sure.

I've read all of your advice coming out of a smaller, two PC game. I feel that I understand the basics of the system for the most part. More study! More study is allways needed (while I feel confodent in my grasp of the system, implementing MC moves for certain things, like missing a roll, is kinda shaky) Yet, I feel a driving force as to why I get a little bogged down is the comfort level of my players. Now, some of them are actors, and most of them have played rpg's before to some extent, but most of them came from rule heavy systems like D&D. Most players assume that the MC should have all the awnsers, and because of this they shrink back from making big, interesting decisions. I had a fantastic time during this session, but I often found myself prompting the players with suggestions and even truly they'd say "Yeah, I say that," or "Yeah, that's what I do." Don't get me wrong, our session was amazing (I'm looking forward to corrupting my unsuspecting Quarantine into a champion gladiator), and yet I still feel that I'm falling flat as a MC. (Edit: to be more specific about the players, I feel they aren't pushing for where they aren't in control. Is it simply a matter of asking the right questions, throwing them off the deep end?) I agree, I need to play more AW from the other side of the table, but none of my friends are really able to take over, and finding games in my area's hard given the indie nature of the game. You all have given me a lot to mull over as I prepare for my big official full campaign.
