Picked this up on DriveThruRpg, looks interesting. Question about Enter the Fray: for Ironsworn Badlands' "Enter the Fray" version and the "classic Western Duel", does that mean that stuff like Face Danger/Secure an Advantage would fill up the progress track? Like rolling Secure an Advantage +Shadow/+Iron to make an insinuation to unnerve your opponent, or Face Danger +Heart/Secure an Advantage +Wits in order to hold onto your nerves as you wait for the Sun to get in your opponent's eyes.
EDIT: And a follow-up question, how would you rule Drifter's first perk interacting with Blade-Bound, since Blade-Bound weapons are kinda-sorta characters in their own right?
You’ve got it! I’m realizing I did not make that clear enough in the document.
Re: Blade-Bound and Drifter, I’m not sure I understand the question. Is the idea that the weapon is a character and you could refuse its “assistance” for the Drifter’s bonus?
Great, thanks for clarifying re:enter the fray. Think it might be worth it reskinning Clash/Strike for the Duel context to allow other skills, in order to show that you're not inflicting physical harm so much as "mental" or "poise" harm?
Regarding Blade-Bound and Drifter, for some reason I thought you would be getting actively penalized if you followed the advice of someone else, so nevermind that.
Any plans to include any Delve cards?
It’s not something that I had considered, but could be quite interesting!
Go for it!
You could always add abandoned mines, and ghost towns for delve sites.
I see the game is still in development. How ready for play is it at the moment?
100%. You’ll need the free Ironsworn core rules and then you’re good to go. I plan to keep adding new optional bits is what in development means.
Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I'm very happy to hear that.
One of my adventures is sure to be set in the old west.
I love this!
A very cool setting change! The assets also cover some bases that are sorely missing from the standard assets. I'll definitely be giving this one a go.
