[This isn't a substantial review of the game; it's an opinion piece. I'm not a (games) journalist, just an enthusiast.

On Sunday, Shawn Tomkin has released a first, VERY early draft of the second Edition of Ironsworn, just around 25 pages and only the barebones of the mechanics. Shawn has also written down a number of questions for playtesters to provide him with specific information, so for now, I'll go through these in my typical cruciatingly long detail, and then I'll see if there's anything else I want to say.…

[I've backed Twilight Sword by Two Little Mice last year and just recently the beta PDF of the core rulebook was released. According to the rulebook, Twilight Sword is inspired by a number of classic videogames like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest as well as the Studio Ghibli movies, but first and foremost among the inspiration are obviously the Legend of Zelda games, and Breath of the Wild/Tears of…
