I am not new to the AW Engine, so some things don’t surprise me. But this caught me off guard (and I am not sure if I just missed it in AW):
“Keep the full version of the Legwork Clock secret, but also show its current value where the players can see it. Visibly adjust it when it advances.”
All the clocks are the same. They can easily check on their clock how far along that means things are. Why would you keep the clock hidden? Seems like an unnecessary level of obfuscation.
