What an amazing condensed game, it captures the fun elements of B/X, BECMI, ADnD very well, while dispensing with some of the annoying idiosyncracies that keep new players away.
At the same time, this is a fully fledged OSR-compatible solo/gm-less GM Emulator, with all the concrete tables I've needed yet and all the abstract ones I think I'll ever need.
a very cool system! I love a lot of the abstractions you made.
Particularly having titles as standard (I didnt even know they were in ironsworn) which I'm guessing it will probably work great with younger players too. Giving them tangible motivation to be creative in how to apply their titles' bonuses to the given situation.
One thing I found a bit weird is the "Friendship", not because any of your flavor text doesnt make sense, but because I would probably make it a bit more inclusive, after all, not only friendships make for good/worthwhile memories.
The other is that the oracle gives only yes/no answers without any degree of severity, e.g. a ", and…" or ", but…". I found that this tended to slow down the fiction quite a bit, so I added in a d10 witha 1-2 meaning "and", a 3-5 meaning "but" and 6-10 being normal yes/no results, though I'm still fiddling with these chances.
Another thing I added was that if the d6 and the d10 were equal, that meant that the presupposition the question was based on was in some way incorrect, which made for interesting twists in adventures.
anyways, thanks for this great system :)
