[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9276561, member: 42582"] Cool! I haven't either. Years ago now I came close to buying it in my local RPG shop, but couldn't justify the price for a game I'll probably never play - for me, anthropomorphic mice remind me too much of The Goodies making fun of Watership Down. I purchased TB2e via Kickstarter out of curiosity, and to support BWHQ. I was surprised how much [url=https://www.enworld.org/threads/torchbearer-2nd-ed-first-impressions.685558/]the colour grabbed me[/url] when I read it, and for me it has been something of a revelation in play. I knot its main feature - in principle - is the Grind and the light clock. But for me, the more striking aspects have been the way events work, and the effect on play of quarantining death as a stake in adventure-oriented FRPGing. Don't underestimate the amount of support the system provides. My friend I play BW with has never GMed another system, but is (arguably at least) a better BW GM than I am, because he has less hesitation in driving home ruthless consequences! [/QUOTE]
