Ironsworn Legacies feedback

Lots of good stuff but could be improved

My response to the request for feedback for Ironsworn Legacies after my playthrough:

✴ Did you play solo, co-op, or guided?

Solo

✴ What was fun?

Once I got the hang of positioning, the game started to flow well. The oracles were great too. Deciding when to use tempt fate also kept things interesting.

✴ What was un-fun?

With momentum costing as much to raise as progress I think it’ll start to fail by the wayside. I think Journey only using Wits was also surprising, considering in Starforged there are far more options.

✴ What confused you?

Initially positioning did but got the hang of it. I skimmed the rules and it took a bit to grok it.

✴ What was missing (keeping in mind the incomplete nature of the materials)?

Thought a make camp action would be needed to go with the journey options.

✴ Were the random tables in the codexes useful and inspirational?

Yes they were. Love them.

✴ Were the outcomes too harsh for your character, too easy, or about right?

I think they were just right.

✴ How many boons did you acquire? Let’s call this Boons per Hour (BPH).

I played three sessions of about 45 minutes each and got 7 boons. So about 2.3 boons per hour.

✴ How many impacts did you mark? Did you mark severe (or greater) impacts?

I marked about eight impacts. I didn’t mark severe or greater impacts.

✴ Did you mend impacts? How?

Nope.

✴ Did you burn momentum?

I did not. I think if I realised you could have made progress several times I would have used it on that rather than on momentum.

✴ Did you choose to Pass Time?

I did not but might when I continue the journey.
