focused it's more exploration focused so people can drop in drop out different routes and things like that i've never actually played inner west marches game well i tried to run one i tried to run one once because like yeah as part of the outreach i was doing to try to get more people in southampton playing role-playing games and not everyone can make a regular session

I stopped doing that because the players organized themselves. So it was the same players running a regular session on the same day. And I was like, okay.

Yeah, I'm just running a regular campaign for the same people. And they're very happy, but I wasn't happy because I was specifically trying to reach new people. So it clearly wasn't doing that. But yeah, no, I mean, I like the idea. When you have a surfeit of players and a deficit of GMs, this is a good way to go, potentially. And in practice, yeah.

Well, it's the same thinking presumably behind the idea that Bladesingers can be elves only. Like, do you play a Bladesinger in D&D? You have to be an elf, apparently, for some reason. It's not explained in lore. It's just how it is. So if you want to play a Bladesinger, tough. You're not an elf. Out you go. So it's like an arbitrary thing for simply story reasons.

But again, there's no mechanical reason to back that up. It's just like how they want to, how they see their property going. Like, yeah, you can definitely talk about different things, but yeah. Yeah.

they're re-releasing quest worlds oh i did see that yeah yeah yeah i don't know much about quest world so i don't know if either of you have context to give me i don't know a lot about it either to be honest it's a rules-like system as well as i know generic system that they've put out that's what i know yeah probably my main interest in quest world is the names attached to it greg stafford robin d laws and dean cooper so yeah it looks like it's being re-released

I think it has been reworked, but I'm not 100% sure. There's been some tweaks and so forth, hence the various names associated with it, if that makes sense.

And setting agnostic, which I suppose comes with, yeah, not a huge amount is known about it. It's about 340 pages long. So, like, whilst I hear what you're saying about rules light, I'm like, I'm not sure that 340 pages is rules light. It is rules light, yeah. You can write a 160, 170 page book full of rules, and that is not rules light. And it's still half the size of this family. Yeah.

There's some very mixed reviews that have come out for it. Some people really liked the system itself, how it works, crystal clear rules, open-ended and future-proof. It appears to be being released under the Ork license.

With a full system reference document, which will allow people to develop it. which may be why they're re-releasing it. And that's what needed doing. But yeah, but on the other hand, like they've got some black and white, they've got a lot of black and white illustrations and there's no, there's like some problems with the layout and it's not really been that updated.
