Aaron Griffin okay, some observations about MY0:

* During setup, you build a relationship map between characters. Depending on how you treat that r-map, it may or may not become the center of Ark action. I use it to reveal interesting points of tension, AW-style. Find a weak triangle and push on it.

* During play, you earn XPs for helping one character, fucking with another, and protecting your “buddy.” So there’s advancement incentive built into directly interacting with the characters.

* Ark projects are an incentive for intercharacter connections and factional tensions.

* The Zone and Ark are two distinctly different modes of play. That matters.

I absolutely guarantee that MY0 and SWN play different, because the incentives and systems are different. Because the systems matter.
