I love the idea of a dam as a Hardhold in AW.  Every time I think of it, though, I get the image of some arsehole Hardholder who has made all the residents of the hold build their shantytown dwellings below the dam on either side of the run-off stream, with his armed guards looking down on them from above,  so that if they become troublesome he can just open the floodgates and wash them all away.

Hold the sheet lengthwise, long left to right, with the front cover in the bottom right corner.  Fold the left half of the sheet behind the right half.  Now fold the top half back and behind the bottom.  Now fold the left half behind the right again, leaving you with a booklet with the front cover facing you.  All the pages should be in the correct order inside.  Staple in the middle.  Tear out the "bolts" with a blunt paper knife and you should be good to go.

This is the standard folding scheme for an octavo gathering of a book.  It only works if the pages have been set up properly, but the last time I constructed the booklets it did.  (I explained how to set this up to Ben.  I'm assuming that information made it's way to Vincent somehow.)

How about:

"On a miss, they are dead and that's the end of it--unless you’re
willing and able to spend an additional 1-stock, in which case
they are still at 12:00 and will need to take a debility to survive"?

To use an angel kit to revive someone who’s died (at 12:00, not
beyond): roll+stock spent. On a 10+, they recover to 10:00. On
a 7–9, they recover to 11:00. On a miss, they die unless you’re
willing and able to spend an additional 1-stock, in which case
they recover to 11:00.

I'm unsure about the last option.  Isn't it almost always better (32/36) better to spend 0 stock than 1 stock?

Vincent and Matt have it, but as well as the rock-hard division between Allies and Threats, I think it's also worth noting that threats aren't all the same, but rather fall into a couple of different tiers of danger and organization:

• Threats who are part of Front--an organized and complicated danger which threatens the existence of the holding.
• Threats on the Home Front--problematic and a danger to individuals, but not working against you in a coherent way.
• Threats who are part of your crew or gang, with motivations that generally fit with your own--actually usually on your side, but with the potential to change their mind. (Formally, these are also listed in one of the two above categories--usually the home front.)

And of course, the moment when characters are reclassified in these groups is immensely important.  (It doesn't have to be only up the scale, either.)  In a game about loyalty and survival this set-up helps the MC--only the MC, because s/he's misdirecting as usual--to keep in mind the dangerous and unstable setting of the game (make it seem real, make their lives not boring) and not fall into the habit of forgetting that NPCs have their own motivations and interests. It's only in the context of this uncertainty that real self-sacrificing loyalty becomes meaningful.
