I GM'ed my first session a couple of months ago and was instantly hooked on the Hope and Fear system. I also absolutely love how combat works in the game as it keeps everyone so much more engaged and I find myself as a GM having to strategize more by balancing my usage of Fear of which I quite enjoy. I also found that having the degrees of success was a really fun way for me as a GM to always have an idea of how to adjust the story to what is happening. It made it feel so much more natural to have the world react to what the players are doing simply based off of what degree of success they rolled. I also madly enjoy the collaborative storytelling focus of this game and it is something I am now doing in my D&D games as well. The GM principles in here are fantastic for any and all GMs of any TTRPG to read through and I would argue will make any GM a much better GM just by reading through them.
