OSR Anyone playing Aaron A. Reed's Skycrawl (or downcrawl) with an OSR?

[Foodgeek]

I've been having a lot of fun playing Skycrawl (as a player) as an add on to an OSR, and it has been a lot of fun. You explore different floating islands in your skyship and combine different "heavy elements" for magical effects. Right now our party is wizard, rogue, cleric, and fighter and the crew is a giant, a symbiote (engineer), an elf (navigator), a human scholar, and a robot handyman (we salvaged and repaired).Well, the giant and symbiote were also saved before being added to the crew.We did lose one crewmember, a dwarven sailor to a hail of arrows from the underworld gang where we were. The worlds are random, and so far we've visited a desert word with buried shyship hangars to salvage and a huge tower/market world, and are now heading to where new sols (suns) are born. So, the new mechanics are random worlds, Orcery (like alchemy with heavy elements), ship to chip combat, and navigation between floating islands (lands). We have not tried ship to ship combat yet. we came across a battle between 2 ships but left it alone.

Anyone else tried skycrawl or his other game, downcrawl? What did you think?

Working on using it in a campaign or two, but nothing live yet. I loved creating an orcery table with loads of blanks for the players to start messing around with and finding out.

I watched Last Exile and started watching a play through of Skies of Arcadia to help set the mood. Last Exile was really fun, though the ending/twist(s) was mostly lost on me; I find more than a few anime endings nigh impenetrable.

Oh, yeah, our DM had us a find a notebook (with loot) with some already filled in to update ours. later on, we bought a couple of answers form an orcery shop, and later yet, traded some with an orcerer that approached our ship on a barge. Oh, and we randomly tried Lazul Lode on our own (because we had those heavy elements handy. We've just started messing around with distillation.
