I have recently discovered Our Vale of Discontent and I'm quite excited about it.
I'd love to read what others have done with it or what they are thinking about doing with it.
The obvious thing is to run it with the OSR/5e system of choice, which I have definitely considered.
However if you go for a campaign frame focused on a particular faction, it could be advantageous to use a system that thematically and mechanically brings out relevant aspects of the setting. For example:
A campaign where the PCs are members of the KRRKT resistance would be a great fit for Seeds of Rebellion which is all about freedom fighters whose magic is powered by emotion and memory. An alternative option would be Comrades which is about life in the revolutionary underground.
A campaign centred on the Fwoom or Drpock would work well with Beat the Boss which is all about labour and community organizing.
My suggested games are all Powered by the Apocalypse, FYI. Any other suggestions?

Revisiting this, I'm now thinking seriously about the OSR-ish Eco-Mofos as a system for this game.
Also worthy of consideration is FitD-based Songs for the Dusk.
Also thinking about Rosette Diceless.
