[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8294774, member: 42582"] I played this game again today, with 3 players from my regular group. We stuck with one special move each, but they chose some that manage Dishonour accrual: we had a Valorous but Wrathful Sorcerer with Banefire; a Wise but Wrathful Noble with Patronage (on a successful action, choose another Character to disregard the consequences for Honour/Dishonour of their next action); and a Generous but Proud Bard with a Good Conscience (on a successful Honourable Charm-based action, reduce another Character's Dishonour by 1). They did well through the first three Encounters, picking up on fictional and trope-ish cues pretty well and managing their Dishonour so that by the time of the fourth Encounter - the Green Chapel - they were all down in single digits. I won't spoil the final Encounter, but will mention that our party experienced a split in strategy at this point, with one pursuing Dishonour while the other two were Honourable, which led to divergent outcomes for the three PCs. Overall I enjoyed it. One of the players compared it to [url=https://www.enworld.org/threads/prince-valiant-actual-play.654732/]the Crimson Bull scenario we'd played in Prince Valiant[/url], a comparison I'd thought of myself in reading up in preparation. I don't know how much replay value there is - there is no system for character advancement and it seems like it would be more interesting to try different characters next time - but I've agreed to prepare one or two scenarios for down-the-track: a Grail Quest scenario, and maybe a Star Wars one (using the Dark Side in place of Dishonour).
