This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thoughts on LFG

I'm curious as to whether there are a lot of folks here who have tried out Low Fantasy Gaming, and what there thoughts might be.

I've just picked up the PDFs recently for the core & companion. I'm wondering if it would be a better fit for Primeval Thule than 5E or Savage Worlds. Still making my read of it. I do like the dangerous magic stuff a lot so far.

I wrote a review of the original version a while ago. I think LFG really nails the S&S vibe:

Thank you, that's a nice review piece! Looks like Deluxe took your advice on examples of  unique features.

I really like the system and backed both kickstarters he did for it.  It would work very well for Primeval Thule.  I ran a campaign using heavily house ruled 5E for a couple of years and 80% of the house rules were ripped straight from Stephen G's stuff including LFG...the dark and dangerous magic, the luck mechanic, etc.

(The group that was playing knew 5E and it was kinda ad hoc, so I wasn't able to convince them to try LFG on its own to begin with.)
