Very promissing stuff. Your brother is a talented artist. I hope, for this game, to see some B&W from him, though.
Regarding the dead ends you are working on, just saying I love the cameback of oaths and holdings, that's because in my 1st look playtest, which went marvelously good, those where the things that I felt most helped create an engaging situation for all the players involved,
There was a lot of cooperatively worldbuilding going in the map stage mainly because of holdings) and there was, because of oaths, a need to do some retroactive adjustment to the character's backstory, easing (not erasing, mind) some tension between them, which would otherwise become very incompatible and, because of that, the shared fiction became stronger - which helped immensely to create an engaging situation, like glue to each other's imagination.
So, I am all in favor of stuff like that. It must be hard and fun to map all those dead ends, so I am glad you take your time.
Also, I felt a new system for experience was badly needed, as many have noticed before, and I am very excited to see rules for war and the new blood moves.
Moreso, I guess I hope for kick-off directions to the MC, and would really like to see a couple or three new play books!
This makes Joao go "sorry for the bad editing"
I was in a hurry, and english is not my first language. The post is a mess. I hope its comprehensible nonetheless.
