I just ran "And I feel fine" at a con in Connecticut. It was my first time
playing UA, and I thought the rules worked very smoothly. 

(SPOILER)

























I used the Dark Stalker and Grand Guignol approach, as the fastest and
easiest. Kenneth failed a violence check as he saw a very messy dead body
in the doorway in Hellmouth, and crashed his car.  He never bothered to
check if it was still in running order, which let the Stalker drop a match
in the gastank while the group was exploring the radio station. The players
did a good job of playing their obsessions, and the guy playing little
Timmy let him wander around alone which gave me the chance to kack him with
the Stalker. When the Stalker leaped on the truck as the PCs departed the
ranch, Kevin rolled a "10" with his pistol, and flip-flopped it to an
OACOWA. The Stalker was badly injured, and then Rich point-blanked him. At
-70 hit points, the Stalker was in no shape to get up again, even with an
Avatar roll.

It was a good time.  Now I want to try Jailbreak and Fly Me to Heaven,
along with Gareth Hanrahan's "Fall of a Sparrow" with my friends.
