I'm going to be running a 5e D&D game set in a modified Malifaux setting, so I've been reading a lot of the lore and fiction, decided to read this entire book because I was curious how the system worked and wanted to see if I could adapt any of that "feeling" into 5e D&D. I think at some point in the past 10 years I reached the, "Can't just have a normal D&D game with regular races and classes" period. I've always loved creating new races, classes and everything else for my games, so at this point I've just completely given in to it.

So yeah this game won't have any orcs or dragons, no dwarves or elves etc... and it will have guns and trains, and maybe some flying ships.

Anyway, the system seems fine, cards are fun to use, and I like that each player gets to "build" their deck. Seems things are a bit over complicated sometimes, and it's harder to judge percentages with cards, whereas I know that if a character needs an 18 on a d20 that's a 10% chance before bonuses. Seems more gritty, like Warhammer FRP, which I think happens whenever characters only have a couple "wounds" instead of having hit points in the double digits. Also, the setting is "dusty" and bleak. I love the factions and the magic system. ( )
