Adam Day Judd Karlman  I think running BW teaches you a lot about being a player in BW. When I’ve played, after having had some experience GMing it, suddenly writing those Beliefs is easier, and you can actually see how important they are. It also helped me learning how to drive those hard, both for the story and for the Artha.

Most of all, it helped me embrace Fail Forward. I still care about the character, but I enjoy putting my PC through the ringer.

I love my PCs, but putting them through the ringer, and thrusting them into adversity is how you get them to shine and grow.
