McGuffins, Secrets and Player Defined Solutions

[Ovinomancer]

SWADE has tons of great tools, from dramatic tasks to quick combats to all kinds of dials. It isn't a narrative or story game, for sure, but it is a pretty sleak, relatively simple, option heavy trad game that is surprisingly versatile. The only thing you really ahve to watch out for is its swinginess in combat -- which happens to be a net gain in this particular scenario.

Of course ot has tools. It doesn't have many or particularly good tools to do what I was speaking to. This isn't a dig at SWADE.
