So far so ok. It's not a bad game, there's just lots of little things to remember and keep track of so it feels a bit more fiddly than I'd like. Maybe as I get more familiar it'll get easier and the rating will go up. I like it, I guess, but it's just missing.... something. I know that the game is balanced to have 4 "HP" (maybe more as you progress?) but it just doesn't feel very epic when a couple bad rolls and you're unconscious. I think I need to play and think about it some more.

Nice compact RPG feel, with lots of exploration and non combat encounters. I'm wondering how well difficulty will scale as you level up. Very reasonable play time, hits the hour mark pretty reliably. Excellent solo or with another person. If one player knows the rules fairly well, this works reasonably well with neophyte players. Update 3/18/2021: Does feel fiddly after not touching the game for a year. The exploration is done pretty well. I think I like the one off adventures more than the campaign. Combat has some good ideas but is not particularly exciting. Iron Helm is much simpler and also more fun. 6/21/21: There are a lot of small exceptions to the rules such as minor variations between tasks, etc. sometimes my influence over the randomness is frustrating, maybe that's better at high levels with more gear. I still enjoy the exploration and emergent story aspects, but this is a convoluted system and it is easy to forget a modifier here or there. Definitely reread all of the rules if you put this down for a couple months. 12/31/22: the overhead for this one is too great for what it offers. I may do this solo with one character but the campaign doesn't feel worth it. Rulebook is a bit of a mess and missing important details
