It's fun, it's engaging, it produces compelling gameplay and narratives.It's almost . . . eerie, in a sense. Like, there's a secretly a part of me that keeps thinking, "Surely this game can't be this good. Surely it's going to be a let down at some point, or not deliver the goods."But that secret fear continues to be smashed every time I use Ironsworn in play.It's a wholly unique experience of its own that is unlike anything else I have played. It delivers a level of energy and engagement that is unique, and frankly rare relative to other roleplaying experiences I've had. Maybe 1-in-3 or 1-in-4 sessions of other games I've played consistently reach that same level of engagement I've seen in nearly every session of Ironsworn I've ever held. So sorry again, [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] , for interposing. Just wanted to chime in that if anyone out there in the audience hasn't yet tried Ironsworn---especially since the original core game rules are 100% totally and completely free on PDF---you are absolutely missing out on a uniquely fun and engaging roleplaying experience.</blockquote>
