Hello hello!

I've been running a DW game for most of the summer, and we just came to a nice stopping point. (The city they were fighting to save has been sacked by the undead, half the party has been killed, everyone is terribly scarred—a great success!) I've been reading AW and really want to start running it. The atmosphere is irresistible, and I have a couple players who are obsessed with controlling NPCs who will flip to play as a chopper or hardholder.

My question is, do you think I should wait for the second edition to start play, or just dive in now? I suspect I already know the answer—that the changes in 2e will be gradual, and that we might as well get going rather than waiting around for something that doesn't (I don't think) even have a release date.

But those of you who have seen previews of the 2e material, are there any drastic changes I should brace for? Are there any moves or playbooks that are in for drastic change, which I should warn my players to stay away from? Or should we just charge in to the first edition, and plan on shaking things up a little bit when 2e drops this autumn?

Either way, I'm very excited, and looking forward to getting to know the apocalypse. Seems like a fun place.
