I've been in touch with Matt through email (and the discussion is ongoing) and he's pointed out some interesting stuff I had missed. So I guess this is me saying, "Take what I've said with at least one grain of salt" because I'm sure that somethings will work better than I expect (and some worse than I expect) during prolonged play. I'll probably do a follow-up in when I've got some more sessions under my belt. Thomas Not a problem.

Great (if meandering) post. I have trouble expressing how a "mixed" session has gone even this clearly. As a Nine Worlds fan who hasn't gotten to play the game yet, I thank you. I completely missed some of the pitfalls that you identify, but reading the text again, I think I can see what you mean, especially regarding Hubris/Arete. I could see some of these really derailing my hypothetical game, especially given my enthusiasm for the setting and Muse mechanics. Forewarned is forearmed, etc, and I think you just made my future Nine Worlds group (and there WILL be one) a little happier. Wow. Great (if meandering) post.
