That's what I get for not reading my HQ fragment carefully enough yet. I'm not enamored of the clatter of multiple dice and the frustration of my players (that's _my_ HW group, not necessarily anyone else's, and several of them play a lot of Amber and happen to stereotypically hate dice) as the dice "rob" them of enjoyment, so I'll be using ability tests and fewer die rolls. MHQWV :-)
Lest I be accused of overnegativity, I've been running HW for over 3 years now, I prefer HQ, and I'll be running it at home and at cons. For example, I really dig common magic, auto-augments, the lack of edges as a standard feature, and the reworked animism rules.
>(I'm curious to know if you found it a problem in my game. Feel free

As mentioned before, I enjoyed the games. I either grabbed the right character, or I was in the right mood to play him or something, but I really liked the Jrusteli marine sergeant going around showing those backward Elk and Pig barbarians that messing with us was going to provoke a non-lethal ass-kicking. I was even planning what he would do if the game continued, such as recruiting the Elk hostage/guide as a follower.
Thanks,
Andy
