Ran MotW twice at this weekend’s OrcCon in Los Angeles.  Everyone really enjoyed the games and the system.  I actually got a number of people who had never played an PbtA game and loved the easy of mechanics, not to mention failure nets you XP. 

Game 1 was a Buffyverse game set in 1901 San Fran w/ Morbus vampires (out of WoD) using ruins to inflict cholera on the city and feast on the sick in the hospital.  They ended up bargain with a Spirit of Concept called “Simmering Pork” a ramein broth spirit as well as ‘Leaden Glory’ a Spirit of Sewer Pipes for info on the vamps.   Players go really into the game, included mime talking into old-timey wall telephones and acting like they were sitting on trolley cars as they traveled places was hilarious. 

Game 2 was a Dresden Files game set in Chicago (dresden was out of town).  PCs had to contend with a minor practioner vetrinary student who had aquired demonic tomes to create chimeras.  And there was a black court vampire hitman running around too.  The vampire war was going on after all.   The players getting into a highspeed chase/shoot out in an uber was pretty funny (the poor driver was an NPC).  A PC also got caught attempting to impersonate a police officer at a crime….Lt. Murphy was not happy.

Great fun all around.  Had a mother and son playing together as well as married couples at both games.
