I've played in one campaign of this and just started gming my second and I can say without hesitation that this is my favorite rpg. I've run a wide variety of games and this is the gold standard I will always compare it to. The faction tiers from Blades work so well here to establish this noble heirarchy and acting on behalf of a noble house with it's own goals and ideals creates such a great push and pull for the players. The personalized items and permissions are so evocative ( for example, my player playing a social mastermind (The Key) in my last session was so excited to pull out his "fancy invitation" at just the right time). Each group I've played with has been different players with different strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes, but they all have loved this game, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
