I've run a couple missions so far, but I feel like my players felt a little lost with a more rules light game

 For example, I had a player playing an Undead cowboy character that wanted to fan the hammer of his six-shooter to attack multiple enemies, but I felt that would be too strong so I ruled him having done 1 damage to everyone near him. Luckily they were weak enemies anyway, but I was unsure of that ruling.

Is the idea to keep things more loosey goosey and trust the GM's judgement, or would something like a PbtA move-list be helpful? (I am currently thinking of making a moves sheet)

hey there! FIST also takes a lot of inspiration from OSR games and their "rulings over rules" playstyle, so edge cases or complex actions are meant to be up to either the GM's judgement or, ideally, the judgement of everyone at the table! that said, there's no reason FIST can't be hacked to include pbta style moves (traits are basically just simplified moves with some bonuses tacked on, so maybe a pool of generic traits players could choose from?) 

if you do end up making a move sheet and you post it somewhere, I'll signal boost it in the devlog!
