I just wanted to pipe in because I've been running A Gathering of Blades. Just one hex, described on one page, contains all the elements for a fantastic adventure. If you have the chance to run it, RUN IT! If you have the chance to play it, PLAY IT!
Don't worry about the details, just start and let the events flow and pieces emerge in play. Riff on what players are doing, let them do whatever they want, get involved in their plans and roll with the punches. The elements are strong, they work together and as a whole it will be very satisfying.
It’s some of the best fun I’ve had running a game. I love that I'm not ruining, sorry, running a module. And that a sense of continuity can emerge from the player’s interaction with the parts. It’s a sandbox where each of the elements are a lot of fun to play.
