This was a lovely ride! This was my dnd table's first time with a PbtA game, and we really enjoyed ourselves! We had a last minute cancellation, so I ran it for two players with a sporadic NPC and it still worked quite well! It took us two 3.5'ish hour sessions to complete (though an experienced PtbA GM could streamline it into one I'm sure). One character survived the journey, while the other player had to replace their character four times. In that, we really appreciated how quick the character creation process was, and said player was able to hop back in within a minute or two, which really kept the pacing and the fun alive.
Heyo, I was just checking the book while preparing for a game and noticed that the Fight! option has an entry I'm a bit confused about. It says "On a 6-...", so does that mean on a 6 or less, or on a miss?
Otherwise, I'm super excited to run this with some friends! I'm not an experienced DM, and I've never played PbtA, but this seems chill and collaborative enough for everyone to have a good time regardless.
Such a fun system with lots of little breadcrumbs to help you run it well. You can tell a lot of time and love went into the rules to make things balanced, without being overbearing. A great addition to the PbtA family.

I figured it out! 6- is just another way of saying missed, found a part of the book that helped me see that.
