*Spending artha to level up is one of my favorite things about advancement in Torchbearer. When I play Mouseguard its what I miss most.

*I want to ask about pacing! You said there was a shift of pacing when you moved for Saga of the Icelanders to Moonicorn. That because advancement was tied to failure on rolls you were motivated to go to the dice more often in Moonicorn than in Saga. I’m curiuos how that compared to the pacing of Torchbearer. In moonicorn did you get more dice rolls by throwing more threats at them or did each threat take more dic erolls to overcome? In either case did you feel the fiction momentum was slower in a similar way as with Torchbearer?

From the sounds of it your players are take the twists in stride and you sound pretty confident and dealing them out. The twist/condition labor has been hard for me to firmly grasp in the past with TB. Do you think your previous experience with BW helped you with this?
