I do it like this:

Default VOF is Direct. If they do a rush attack (covering lots of ground to attack and run away again), reduce VOF by 1.

If they pull off an ambush attack, popping out of a wall or whatever, increase VOF by one.

Then increase/reduce VOF due to force parity as usual. So several xenos at once would be +1 (or more).

Thanks! Glad you liked it. That was a fun and crazy project. :)

No ETA, sadly. Real life and other games are getting my attention at the moment. :)

I like it!

Cool! Thanks so much for the playtest report.

Looks good! Let us know how it works out in play.

Character retirement isn't a problem, it's an opportunity.

Unless you think you should play the same character forever. But who thinks that? Probably the same people who think character death is a disaster.

Too rapid for what? There aren't any level milestones in DW that you need to hit, or treasure / monsters / challenges to stat up for level-appropriateness.

I can't think of any reason why leveling quickly would cause a problem in DW.

Yes, I totally agree! These are the issues I'm deailng with in the revision right now. Thanks for playtesting and for the great feedback!

Yeah, sorry for the delay. The new version took longer than I thought it would. I got some feedback and am working on wrapping it up as soon as possible. Hopefully tonight, but we'll see.

Thanks, Drez!

I'm working on a new thing this week. Hoping to have it ready by Friday.

Yes, good call!

Three stats collapses the range of playbook differentiation. Not a bad thing, just not what we're going for.

That said, some stats are under-utilized (Lucky) and that's something I'm addressing in the new draft.
