[QUOTE="BenjaminPey, post: 9750809, member: 7039344"] There's already a thread about it here: [EMBED content="thread-714968"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/legend-in-the-mist-anyone-using-it-and-or-have-thoughts.714968/[/EMBED] I played the heck of City of Mist, the first game of these guys, and some with LitM already. The game works really well, even though I still think City of Mist is the best iteration of this system. LitM is simpler to understand and maybe closer to more traditional rpgs, especially in the fantasy realm, with only one unified core move (to rule them all). Tag bloat is only a problem if you want it to be. Simply put, it's not a game where you try to win or to beat the dungeon, you're here for the story and your character evolution (which is very much a big part of the story). Trying to put any tag and its friends in your action is silly and will grow old fast, just stick to the action being described and pick the most direct and simple tags that go with it. It's faster, leaner and lead to great games. You'll then find that the usual roll is with between 1 and 3 tags, maybe four if it's really a core part of the character. Statuses I don't have a problem with either, what do you mean, exactly? There like gauges, or clocks if you're familiar with PbtAs or FitD. It's for everything you need to be gauged, and all of them work the same: 5 and you're out, 6 and you're dead (or worse). 2d6 + X, I guess is in relation with tag bloat? Like is it the proper scale? Negative statuses, challenges's and story tags should help it stay in the range where the + X is meaningful (and then there's Might, but that will be for another time). [/QUOTE]
