Ironsworn: A Tabletop RPG Of Perilous Quests by Shawn Tomkin
5.0
Ironsworn is much smoother and fun than I could have possibly expected. I went into the my first solo-session assuming that it would be a fun thought experiment on what can be done to shake up my own preconceptions about RPGs. A couple sessions into my own Ironsworn campaign and I am delighted by the smoothness of the mechanics and fiction flowing into one another. This is a brilliant addition to the broad Powered-by-the-Apocalypse canon and everyone should at the very least read through it. You will find something new, interesting and insightful inside.
Something else Ironsworn should be praised for is its masterful layout and physical design. It is one of the easiest to understand and navigate rules texts I have ever read. Important diagrams get whole pages to explain important mechanics, it comes with a glossary of terms for all the moves you make, and the pdf is perfectly hyperlinked so referencing it during play is the easiest thing in the world.
Im ordering my physical copy of the game now.
