Background: I happened upon an interview for Page XX with Luke and Vincent.  Vincent sounded really tired.  But at one point he said that poison'd was more fun but IAWA was easier to play. 

Vincent (et al): Why is Poison'd more fun?

I hope what I said was that Poison'd is more fun with the right group and In a Wicked Age is easier, more reliable fun. That's what I thought I said.

Poison'd is more fun but harder fun because it makes willing victims way more effectively than the Wicked Age does. In a Wicked Age preserves the loser's power over the winner, where Poison'd buys the loser into the winner's power.

Poison'd is more fun because it has pirates and buggery. However good In A Wicked Age... might be, it does not have explicit support for pirates and buggery, so it can never be as good as Poison'd.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Fun is fun and whatever, and In a Wicked Age is good and it has some real strengths going for it, plus a better text, but of the two, Poison'd is the better-designed game.
