BLUF: I really like this RPG. I get a strong SWADE feel from it, but much lighter in feel. I had been considering migrating our current setting over to SWADE, but I think we will be using Eyes Beyond the Torchlight now, especially considering the availability of the SRD as well.

The only issue I personally have with it, is that the rules are approx 218 and could have been 2/3-1/2 that. Much of the basics are repeated several times throughout the beginning of the document. For example; the basic mechanic is mention thoroughly in the Introduction, Basic Rules and Combat Rules. Much of this, in my opinion, could have been consolidated.

Over all, I feel this will be a dynamic, easy to run and prep, rules light system that has a lot to offer. Well worth the sub $10 price as of this review.

Ironsworn is truly a game that can be played solo, co-op, and GM driven. The art is splendid and drives home the feel of the gritty dark default setting, but it is flexible enough to play in just about any setting you can imagine. Chock full of story driving Moves and Oracles to inspire, one can not go wrong picking this up, especially at the current $0.00 price tag! I wouldn't have regretted paying $20-25 for this. The production quality for a solo designer is amazing!
