Good question! During the first session, you'll probably end the game after the day phase, but if you can get the night in there—great. Then, try for four phases at a minimum, I think, but also: just see what rhythm you settle into. Sometimes a phase goes quick, sometimes it takes extra time because there's too much role-play to enjoy.
I am SO STOKED to get this to my table this summer (and then subsequently run Mynar's Margot Kwan adaptation in the fall!) Congrats on the update and of course, how rad everything is!
I've not even finished reading the book, and this looks like a masterful synthesis of a ton of disparate PbtA ideas: not only Carved from Brindlewood stuff, but also (my beloved!!) Night Witches, a Stress track, and an inspired take on something akin to a Darkest Self from Monsterhearts. You've made something really brilliant here! I hope I can get it to the table someday <3
Those are such lovely words to read this Friday morning. I really appreciatie you taking the time to tell me, and I, of course, also hope you can get to play the game!

I'm going to be running this soon, and I had a question: how many full "days" should I be shooting for per session? Thanks!
