Seems legit!

Interested in trying a gritty-ish, PbtA-inspired fantasy RPG that supports GM-less play?
Ironsworn began as a PbtA reskin, but it’s evolved into something I would say is more PbtA-adjacent. I call it “Inspired by and borrowing liberally from the Apocalypse” (IbaBLftA?). It’s built on moves, but leverages ala carte character creation with printable asset cards instead of playbooks. It’s also got it’s own flavor of dice mechanics and some resource tracking mechanisms. Finally, it’s built from the ground up to support solo and co-op GM-less campaigns.
The preview edition is a complete, free game. I’d love to hear what people think.

Toy Moo … you’ll find a summary in the Moves Glossary o n page 51.
“After you roll your move, you may pick up and reroll any dice, including the challenge dice and your action die. You may only reroll once, using a single throw for all dice you choose to reroll. The new result for all dice must stand.”
So, you can reroll either or both of the challenge dice and/or your action die. It doesn’t apply to the oracle dice (if you make any oracle rolls as part of the move or as a follow-up).
“Reroll any dice” shows up in a few assets. It’s not really a part of the core moves, although ‘Write your Epilogue’ (the final retirement move for your character) does let you reroll the challenge dice if you are not corrupted.
And as I look at that I see a confusing typo under Write your Epliogue which needs fixing….

Shawn Tomkin thanks! Maybe I should just finish reading before asking more questions.

No worries Toy Moo. It’s great to see the bits that might be confusing for folks.
