Any interest in Burning Wheel or Mouse Guard?

I got a chance to play Mouse Guard last year at PAX and I loved the short demo. Last week I found the Burning Wheel system, which Mouse Guard is based off of, and I would love to try it out sometime soon.  Is anyone interested in session of either?  I can GM if needed, but I haven't gotten to be a player in a tabletop game in ages so I'd really love to switch it up. I'm at GMT-8 time, but I'm pretty flexible for a one shot.

I love BWG, but it's entire rule set is anti-grid.  I'm not entirely certain you'd get the full Roll20 experience out of it.  No rules for grid movement, speeds, or anything.  It's a very different (and aaaammmaaazingggg!) animal in the RPG world.  :-)
As you can turn the grid off in roll20, couldn't you improvise accordingly?

Well, it's not so much that there aren't rules for grids as the game system itself rejects them.  It's intentionally a break from the strategy game "this piece moves here" component that so many of the RPGs have. And sure, you could totally do whatever you want, anyhow!  ;-)  And nothing says that you still couldn't play online with folks, either.  It's a superb system...it just doesn't have anything in it for maps or grids or miniatures, etc. So I'm sure not the guy who's gonna tell you how to play.  Nobody wants to be that guy.  /salute! :-)
