G'day Kamawell! 9 weeks is a great amount of time to put the Beta rules to the test. The rules are great as is.
Play RAW (with the revised monster suggestions) and make some notes after each session if you feel like it and let everyone know how it went! I'm sure Sage and Adam would appreciate the feedback.
The first session is always fun no matter what due to the AWESOME chargen system, numerous hooks embedded into the playbooks and the bonds created. Ask lots of questions, re-incorporate lots and start with action tied into whatever the players author into the chargen.
Get back to the forums after your first session if you have any queries, especially as you begin to develop your Impending doom, fronts and dangers. We'd love to help!
How many players have you got?
What fantastic ideas are you bringing to the table?
Have fun :)
