I thought I'd drop a line here, as it's been a few days since I changed this from unpublished to in-progress. I've dragged a few of my IRL friends in to check it out, and incorporated their feedback.
This project is turning out to be a great way for me to use some of the ideas I've had as a gamemaster over the years, that never quite jelled to use in a real RPG. The oldest of these in particular is taking on a life of its own as a major substory within the Place of Mists, and I've decided to primarily focus on getting that part done and polished.
I don't want to be too spoilery, but this major substory is reasonably referred to as "The Sword Story" or 'the "Sword" story', and I've added a shortcut pinned card to let you jump ahead to it after you create your character. I'd say that the Sword story is playable but a little monotonous (not enough cards in the Opportunity deck yet) and I'd love to hear feedback on the ideas in both the story and the gameplay.

I've been cranking on the Sword substory, and it's at the point where I think it's playable with two caveats:
1) I haven't tuned stat progression, and I suspect that getting your stats high enough to succeed at stuff in the Dark Citadel will feel very grindy
2) The final battle is stubbed out; I am working on that now but it will be a while to get all the stuff in place that I've been thinking about.
