A PbtA game of 1 Wearer and 5 Cursed, Sentient Items

I've been working on a PbtA-derived RPG for my table called The Vessel and would value feedback from this community.

One player plays the Wearer — a person who has come into possession of a set of magical gear that won't come off. Each of the other players plays one of those pieces (a sword, a crown, a mirror, a ring) as a sentient object with its own Convictions, history, and agenda. The pieces argue with each other through the body they share, while the MC plays the world and the past.

The document is fully open to comments, and I would love to know what you think of the mechanical loop, the tension economy, and the overall structure!

Thanks!
