Nothing to worry about. With two game designers at the table and both Sword Noir and Kiss My Axe a fun time at the table… This should be no problem.

Only one way to find out.

That was one idea I had. There’d be a “focus” character, and each other character could provide a single die, but the die could be built using smaller dice, so if one could assemble 8d6, one could provide 1d12.

That’s the temp solution, but I fear that it will quickly overwhelm even the hardest of challenges.

What if group challenges required a single “leader” and other players to assist? Assistants can only offer up a single Quality to increase the leader’s roll by 1d6. Or something similar. The concept leans itself towards a military-type group/campaign.

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this, stytch, but I greatly appreciate your comments. If OpSec allows, where are you off to now?

We’re a hit! Or something? Perhaps a punchline?

[...] recently got sent a review copy (PDF) of Kiss My Axe, a Viking-themed RPG by Fraser Ronald, who also created Sword Noir, which I reviewed a few posts [...]

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve packed my bags and will be headed off for what is sure to be yet another fun filled deployment–and I’ve packed Gifts of the Elder Gods (as well as all of the other works I’ve picked up over the last few months) along for the ride. While I haven’t spent enough time with it to do a proper review (I’m no good at those), I thought I’d let you know my first impressions:

First impression of the print version of GotEG:
Print Quality: Excellent value; ideal size/format for the content
As you know I’ve also got the book in its digital forms, and have no complaints here either.

The content itself:
Just as described in the introduction, “The Adder” hits the mark as a true short story. A quick and pleasant read that held my interest from start to finish. While I have gravitated towards novels, it was nice to be able to pick this up, enjoy it, and put it down with the similar satisfaction as having finished a larger volume of work. I envision the other stories fitting in nicely between my soon to come “hurry up and wait” sessions, as I endure the deployment process (equip. issue, records updates, immunizations, etc.).

I was going to withhold my price/value comments for now. Having only read the one story as of yet I’m not in the position to judge; however, considering the price works out to < 1.40 a story for the print/digital combo and <.40 ea. for the digital versions I think it's safe to say buyer's win. (double edge sword here isn't it? keep em cheap and its hard to justify the time/effort spent, but raise the price and risk a drop in sales….yet every one of us fantasy enthusiasts would go out and spend three times as much on a burger that we don't need without a second thought, and it won't entertain us for more than five minutes at most.)

I'll leave it at that for now, and hope to provide some real feedback soon.
