Ahoy to all fellow masterless swordbearers!
I'd like to ask for a rule clarification: my pals Tommaso B., LorenZo-M and Lapo Luchini and I are playing our first SwM session and we are a bit puzzled on the right way to draw a Moral from the knowledge reveiled in a Discovery Phase: we are not sure on how the Rogue should draw an unintended consequence from the fact of knowing things (and not doing them like in the other Phases). I will now provide you with an actual play of the troublesome phase so that we can discuss starting from it.
I as the Overplayer set the Discovery Phase: Juvial Tone, the setting is the aftermath of the battle occured in previous Perilous Phase, the Thunder is an advacement of the one from the previous Phase: an incoming dust clouds clears up and reveals a moving four-legged castle with circus music coming from it.
I handle the Bones to LorenZo-M, whose Rogue is an elderly wizard protecting a dimensional gateway. He rolls a Glum Moral and narrates this:
New Info: this castle holds the dimensional gateway of this realm, it is mandatory we catch it to come back home!
Loaded Question: The gatekeeper visited me once; how did I send him back?
Overplayer Answer: You sacrificed a sorcerer by feeding it to your sacred beasts.
Unintended Consequence: But now I feel it: the castle-pilot is the one I sacrificed, not the gatekeeper!
Moral: The ancient rituals do not work anymore.
I then handle the Bones to Tommaso B., whose Rogue is a wandering dashing scoundrel. He rolls a Glum Moral too and narrates this:
New Info: the crystal this castle is made of is a unique material that can be carved into all sorts of enchanted items.
Loaded Question: How much will that shady man back home pay me for a chunk of crystal?
Overplayer Answer: He'll pay you with the souls of a whole army.
Unintended Consequence: (I as the Overplayer choose it due to Tommaso's lack of ideas) But sadly you notice you lack the tools to cut a chunk of crystal!
Moral: Greed and avarice rule the world.

Greetings fellow rogues!
Greetings fellow rogues!
I have been unintentionally absent for the past few months, hidden away high in my hermitage, toiling in my studies. All that hard work will come to fruition within the next month, and I shall emerge from the other side degreed and spoiling for adventure. It will be a while yet, but #SundayAMSwords calls to me from the horizon. And I thirst for its blood, glory and wonder.
Help me slake this thirst by proxy. I wish to hear of your adventures!

A place to grab a tankard of ale and hunker down against the blizzard, before the Rogue'ing resumes.

Our first attempt at playing a game. Not the best, but still fun to watch and learn from.

We just got Book 2 of The Autumnlands, Woodland Creatures; it would make a superb setting for sword & sorcery role-playing game. The book is written by Kurt Busiek (Astro City) with amazing art by Benjamin Dewey and colours by Jordie Bellaire.
