Ironsworn System Discussion

[Zotar]

So I went poking around for a campaign or system or setting for a kind of primal RPG, and a reddit thread led me to this:

Ironsworn - Tabletop Roleplaying Games

Explore the Ironsworn family of tabletop roleplaying games and supplements. RPGs of perilous quests for solo, co-op and guided play.

...Which actually is kinda neat. I've been paging through the free PDFs and so far as I can tell, the system is less cookie-cutter than D&D and more fluid. It can be played with or without a GM and uses a very simple dice system. I think it lends itself well to Play-by-post, as it's less about the tactical and more about the narrative.

Has anyone played this system before? Would anyone want to try it with me?

I haven't played it before, but I've heard great things, and would be interested in trying it.

I own a copy of it, its interesting, as it uses "oracle" tables to generate gameplay for the PCs.

I bet the campaigns develop organically.

The setting makes me think of Beowulf, Skyrim or some of Tolkien's Unfinished Tales.

So this makes three of us who are interested.

i've never played it but i would be willing to learn it, seems like a very cinematic game system.

 

[EbonChevalier]

I’d like to try it too

Okay. It seems we have enough interested parties. I have a couple more questions for each of you:

(1) How often would you be able to post?
(2) Does anyone want to GM?
(3) Anything changes you would like to see in the setting?

I'll start:
(1) I would be able to post once or twice a week, maybe more. But I can't make any promises right now. I have family.
(2) I would prefer someone with more expedience handle the GM'ing, but as has been mentioned, we may not even need a GM.
(3) I'm fine with the setting as is.
