The system ...Martin, I agree, system matters A LOT. The system is a transcription of the game universe to the real world so to speak. As I am a tv-series/feature films screenwriter, I would say, you can deliver the best script you've ever written but if it is badly executed by an inexperienced showrunner then the conclusion would just be a product failure. You can apply the same rule for a game system.

I think third edition had some interesting ideas that were, unfortunately, buried under a ton of cards and chits. <br /><br />We played through the entire Gathering Storm campaign and had great fun with the system in the beginning.
