:Final analysis? BW was not an overwhelming hit, at least for this crowd, although the players did seem to like it okay. David remarked that he enjoyed the "gritty" feel of the world and the system, while Lucas was interested in the skill and attribute development mechanic. I think BW would play best with folks who are looking for some serious simulationism, and are willing to take on the necessary attention to detail and bookkeeping. And, while the one-shot was fun, I think BW needs to be played as a campaign to be truely appreciated. | :Final analysis?

Bring dice -- common six sided are all you'll need, and not more than a half dozen at once; we won't be using Funky Dice for this adventure. Do bring a pencil, eraser, and an open mind, however -- after reading the game pretty carefully, I think it might amaze people how much game you can fit in three pages plus a couple paragraphs of add-ons. | : I'm planning to run a one-shot Risus fantasy adventure of my own devising.
