You'll probably not get a lot of posts, but my players liked it. We're shelved in an isolated Vaulter's place, where its run by a Vaulter leader named Roland. They're looking for a relic they call Durandal, but they'll find that out later. Gotta finish our other campaign first.

First things first, run the intro campaign, it's really useful and you can decide whether to keep that storyline or not. Haven't run the module though, so I have no advice for it. Make sure you're well versed in the lore, as well as actual locations in Europe (this comes up a lot) and try to make interesting characters. RP is going to happen more than not. I ran a dungeon for my party, and threw some spore beasts as well as a spore mother and it worked well to not do a "map" but leave it cinematic. Their loot was a nice assault rifle and a good handful of ammo, as well as renown. Keep in mind the setting. Good luck anon.

Currently running a campaign of it, expect a few hiccups due to errata, missing information (such as what the Trailblazer free upgrades are, how much a days rations are worth, how much the fees cost to cross the alps etc.) but there's no shortage of story hooks, and the mechanics of the system are good. I've had a lot of fun worldbuilding and homebrewing in it, just be sure to draw up NPC/enemy stats ahead of time, esp. Reaction, Perception, Mobility, Melee/Projectiles, Brawl etc. Also, read up on spore infestation, you want to have something to scare heavily armoured characters (cough, Hellvetics, cough) with.

I GM'd it and found the setting very engrossing but the actual game system to left a lot to be desired.

Looking to start a game sooner or later with my regular group. We've made some characters to get a feeling for the generation system and tried combat against some enemies found in the book. It might take a few tries to get used to the setting: Ammo has never been this scarce in a game I've played and common armor seems weaker than weapons of the same availability. Overall the game looks promising.

Two hits of any decent weapon held by any decent fighter should be enough to take a character out of combat if not outright kill them. One hit with either a great weapon in decent hands or a decent weapon in great hands can do the same. One great combatant with a great weapon can kill most creatures with a single hit.

Fighting is a last-ditch thing. If you can avoid it in any fashion, you should. If you can get any advantage over your enemy in combat before it starts, you should.

Make sure your characters understand that some classes (cults) are much more powerful then others. First mistake I made was to allow a Hellavitic, even with his ammo restriction, they are very powerful. As they should be.
But it was also played by a min maxer that brought it to the next level in this casual game.

I found it easier if everyone is within the same cult, or at least cults that are supposed to be together without weird circumstances. Each cult is varied enough even if everyone goes into one, there is enough variety for an full party and awesome campaign.

Scrappers can go purely diplomatic, or become snipers, or even close range power houses depending on their builds and focuses. Same is mostly true for all cults.

I posted my groups adventures in a previous thread. I can post it again if you guys are interested.

My group was looking at chronicler, spitalian,Anabaptist, clanner and judge, so i think they should all play nice together.

Ya, those guys play nice and have very similar goals. Remind the judge to get the hammer upgrades early as the Judges hammer is impossible to use early game without it.
