So, last night I ran “The Sword” and I think it worked well enough. I introduced most mechanics except for the Fight rules. I used Bloody Versus as a quick fighting, but plan on including Fight in further adventures. I had some time constraints to manage due to people’s schedules.
I had four players for the scenario, and it seemed like two players loved the system, but the other two were a little put off by how technical the game can be compared to something like Savage Worlds. I’m going to have a longer discussion with the players that were put off to see what issues they had and maybe I can explain it better. If I can’t get them to try it further then I might just run the other 2 players in Dinner for One as a smaller group. I want to run Trouble in Hochen, but I can’t find a copy of the Adventure Burner.
