that's illegal, sir!

Also it's one big ass tome.

Yeah, Burning Wheel is a fascinating game, but waaay too crunchy for me. I'm a lazy rules-light scrub.

>that's illegal
that's what they said about putting a man on the moon

It isn't Burning Wheel, so it's sort of unrelated, but it's the same company so I'll ask here.

How is Torchbearer?

I'm running a Mouse Guard campaign, which rules borrow heavily from BW. it's a really neat system, for sure.

Torchbearer absolutely is Burning Wheel.

The entire point of Burning Wheel was to provide a hackwork for people to pluck and modify and build a system out of it. That's what Mouse Guard and Torchbearer both are.

You don't need to read even a third of that. The vast majority of the book is 'if you want more complicated bits for _______, see chapter __'.

friendly bump.

a fun, interesting game

Gm'd the first session of my current campaign. As some have said, it's very crunchy and it requires the players to be very invested in his characters, and the campaign in general.
For my players is hard to change their way of playing since we come from a very D&D heavy background.
If your players are not willing to invest the minimun that the game demands, it's better to play another game.
Having said that if you have good players it can generate great fucking games.

Pretty good!
I'm just running Trouble in the Duchy Verdoben to start things off, with the players making their own characters. So far we have a lost Dwarven clan soldier far away from home and a young huntress seeking to protect her village. We're recruiting more people from the FLGS, so we'll see how that works out.

It's been going strong for a year now, and even stronger now that the Codex dropped.

Once you go Burning Wheel, you never go back.

Whether or not you can get a good group together to play the game, which can be hard since it requires a lot more player investment than other games, the book is a fantastic read for GMs and has things you'll want to implement in other games.

Did the first session, party is a rich merchant with few skills outside making more money and having a lot of contacts, a priest of a forgotten god who also functions as a spymaster, and a master craftsman who's reasonably high up in the city's guilds. They're trying to keep order and control in a city with numerous factions correlating to the setting's various deities (although not always)
