The concept of using a deck of playing cards in the Ironsworn system has been something compelling for me since the beginning of the Ironcrunch development. However, with the implementation of more cards into the game (Items, Conditions, and Demeanors), I've been having my doubts about keeping this mechanic. The latest playtest sessions I've been having with my group made me r...

The premise of Ironcrunch has been mixing Ironsworn with some OSR vibe. The issue with this is that parsing the licenses (properly identifying which parts are Creative Common 4.0, Open Game License, and my own identity product) may be a tad cumbersome for the core rulebook, reason why I would like to avoid using the Open Game License, so I've taken some decisions to avoid it.<...

ON THE WORKABILITY
Last month's update simplified things in terms of gameplay and workability (Ironcrunch it's becoming less crunchy as a matter of fact), and in tune with this, I've been working my head around making it possible to play without cards. As a result, for this month's update, I will be adding a third page to the character sheet for optional use for non-cards setup...

After this month's update, I'll start working on the Bestiary Update, the final one, which will not only include an appendix of 50+ pages of creatures, but also a creatures card set. This is why I need to know which card presentation likes the most.
I'll offer the creatures card set in both formats if the poll says so, so it is your call.

I'm currently considering including appendices to list and present all the ancestries, motivations, and the upcoming bestiary entries.
So far, the listing of the ancestries and motivations alone takes around 25 pages of the first chapters, which makes the scrolling a bit awkward.
If appendices are included, there will be only one chapter to guide through the character creation, whic...
